"Fractional reserve banking allows banks to create loans without corresponding deposits. As the Bank of England admits in its own report: “Rather than banks lending out deposits that are placed with them, the act of lending creates deposits.” The bank doesn’t lend you anyone’s savings. They create a deposit in your account with keystrokes, then charge you interest on money that didn’t exist until you signed the paperwork."
