I understand that nearly all money is created by banks reserving only a small portion of deposits and then making loans (which usually then get deposited, so that the banks can essentially loan the same money to several people). These loans are all made at interest, and interest payments must come from somewhere, say from customers purchasing your goods and services. Those customers got their money from somewhere, which if we trace it back, eventually originated as another loan at interest (since by assumption that’s where nearly all money comes from). Isn’t this totally unsustainable? How can all the loans, including interest, even in principle be paid back when the only way to create new money is through additional loans at interest?

Thank you for your reply. This is the first time I have had a meaningful answer to my question. It is a pity that the politicians can’t come to an agreement and work on a solution agreed between them and lave out the politics.

I so much appreciate the well thought and articulated information above, as regards to inflation targeting. But may some one help me understand this; How does inflation targeting operate when there is a deflation? and what are the problems associated with this?
with sincere thanks;
Denis.
