I'm interested in how you're so confidently incorrect about a very basic fact about how capitalism works.

Hey, I simply said what I thought and expressed interest in what you thought. Not everyone here is trying to attack you.

If I misread the tone of your message, my bad.

How is money created? Some is created by the state, but usually in a financial emergency. For instance, the crash gave rise to quantitative easing – money pumped directly into the economy by the government. The vast majority of money (97%) comes into being when a commercial bank extends a loan.
