18:30
Some economists claim that fractional reserve banking is both inherently inflationary and bound to contribute to boom-bust cycles. Theory and history support neither of these claims. Instead, they suggest that an established fractional reserve system may actually prove less inflationary than one restricted to 100% reserves, and that fractional reserves can actually be stabilizing. Because (more…)
