by This is absolutely excellent. David Buik, who is a thoroughly decent fellow who comes on to defend the City of London, is humbled and incredibly open minded to what Richard Warner has to say. Superb!Richard Werner gives excellent account about why small, non profit, local private banks are so good for an economy. They tend to invest in local businesses to increase products and services, while the big banks prefer to give loans for purchases, whether it be for consumer goods, like say, cars, or for assets, like say, property. The former is not inflationary as it increases products and services, but the latter is inflationary because it increases the money supply, and therefore demand, without a corresponding increase in manufactured goods and services.Richard Werner has won me over on the

Can you imagine how good a zero, or extremely low, inflation economy would be? No need to worry about your savings being inflated away, so no need for ordinary savers to look for risky investments.

Apparently, this is one of the reasons why the rich got into asset price inflation and financialization.
