I have no objection to major reforms of the financial system
as specified below but I also consider there is nothing
intrinsically wrong with private credit. The private sector
should be able to borrow and banks create credit under the
strict conditions noted below.
The debt explosion that has brought the World economy to
its knees was not the fault of endogenous money creation.
It was the result of lax regulation; criminal activity;
and a neo-liberal obsession that national governments had
to run surpluses (and hence squeeze private sector
liquidity and wealth).
