FIRST explain clearly how à central bank works, creating money out of thin air. The fractional reserve banking system for private banks. No federal deposit insurance in St. Lucia. If you put your money in à savings account,
you lend your money to bank and you do not own it anymore. Just just have à claim on bank. Any new money created by the central bank is debt for the people.
Since 1971 money is not anymore backed by gold. Just trust in à paper promissory note. If you get a mortgage from a bank, this bank only needs 10% in its own real assets and/or deposits. 90% of the mortgage is created by the computer without any underlying assets.
