Money is debt, debt is imaginary money
This video outlines what money is, where it comes from (nowhere), and why we should (or shouldn’t) care.
If money is debt, then paying off debt reduces the supply of money. So what about interest? Since the money to pay the interest does not actually exist, loans can never be paid off without creating more money/debt, and a certain amount of defaults and foreclosures are not only foreseeable, they are inevitable.
I’m no economist, but I found this video fascinating, and would love to hear some commentary from someone more knowledgeable than I am about the money supply.
(It briefly gets into some unnecessary world government conspiracy theory at the end, but it remains worth watching for its explanation of the money creation/supply system.)
