Banking 4: Multiplier effect and the money supply발음듣기

Let's think a little bit about what happened in the last video.발음듣기

I'll review again these different notions of money supply.발음듣기

And then let's talk about whether it's fair for people to think that they really have the money that they have So in the original video, after the crop was harvested, the farmers deposited 1,000 gold pieces in my bank.발음듣기

Then I lent out 900 of those.발음듣기

I had to keep some reserve in case those farmers wanted some of their money back.발음듣기

And I figured they would never need more than 10% at a time.발음듣기

I lend it out. They build a irrigate.발음듣기

You know, someone has a great idea to build an irrigation canal, so that more fields become usable and get access to water.발음듣기

So to build that irritation canal, they take those 900 gold pieces, and they pay a bunch of workers.발음듣기

Those workers now have the gold pieces.발음듣기

So they need some place safe to put it.발음듣기

They put it back in my bank.발음듣기

Now I get 900 gold pieces of deposits.발음듣기

I put 10% aside again.발음듣기

And now I lend out 810 gold pieces.발음듣기

Let's say I lend it out for an entrepreneur who wants to build a factory to build some type of tools that might make the apple harvest more efficient, or faster, or need less labor, or whatever.발음듣기

That entrepreneur takes those 810 gold pieces and pays the builder in the town.발음듣기

And then the builder now has 810 gold pieces, and then he gives the money back to me in my bank.발음듣기

Because I'm the safest place to keep it.발음듣기

I stop the chain there. You can keep going on and on, although there is some end.발음듣기

Notice that these values get smaller and smaller every time.발음듣기

And we'll do a little bit of math on that to figure out how far it can go.발음듣기

But then I take the builder's money, and I said, well, you know, this banking idea's a new idea to me.발음듣기

I'm just going to leave it all as reserves.발음듣기

I want to see how it all plays out first.발음듣기

So then we said, how much money is in the system?발음듣기

And it all depends on how you define money.발음듣기

And we made one definition of money called M0.발음듣기

In M0 we said - we'll call this our narrowest definition.발음듣기

And this is literally, how much gold is there in the system.발음듣기

Or how much stuff is there in the system that could be immediately used for conducting a transaction.발음듣기

And I'm assuming, for the sake of this argument, that none of these players actually kept any gold in their pockets, or kept some cash in their wallets for a rainy day.발음듣기

Although if they did, we would included it in this calculation.발음듣기

I assume that everyone always deposits their gold with Bank of Sal.발음듣기

So when we did that calculation.발음듣기

there was this gold pieces of reserve that we had set aside at first.발음듣기

Then 90 here, oh, 900 here, sorry.발음듣기

And then 810 here. And if you add those up, you get 1,000 gold pieces in the system, which makes a lot of sense.발음듣기

Because we originally had about 1,000 gold pieces in the system.발음듣기

In the example, at least as I described it - we didn't have anyone discovering any new gold. nor was any a gold eaten or destroyed in some way.발음듣기

So it makes sense that there are 1,000 gold pieces.발음듣기

But then there's a more interesting question.발음듣기

If you went around the city, and you asked everyone how much money they had, they'll say, I have this much in my checking account with the Bank of Sal.발음듣기

If you ask me how much money I had, I would tell you how much is in my checking account.발음듣기

I actually have very little cash in my wallet right now, if any of you are thinking of mugging me.발음듣기

All of my money is in a checking account.발음듣기

So if someone asked me how much money do you have, I'd give that number.발음듣기

So if you went around the town, and you asked everyone, how much money do you have, and you added it up, you would get the total of the of their checking accounts.발음듣기

And so we had 810 gold pieces from the contractors, 900 gold pieces from the ditch diggers, and then 1,000 gold pieces from the farmers.발음듣기

Let's see, 1,900 plus 810. You get 2,710 gold pieces collectively in checking accounts.발음듣기

And since I'm the only bank, that's the total of my liabilities here.발음듣기

And we call that M1. And I'm calling these that for a reason because these are the actual words that are used by economists and our government officials.발음듣기

There's a couple of really interesting questions here.발음듣기

One is how did a 1,000 gold pieces get turned into 2,710.발음듣기

And then, this 2,710, does it represent real wealth, or was this some kind of weird shell game we played, and it represents some type of weird pyramid scheme?발음듣기

Well, how it got created - we went through the mechanics, right?발음듣기

Every time I set a little aside, I lent some out, and then they deposited, etc.발음듣기

That's how it got created. The interesting question is, does it represent real wealth?발음듣기

The answer is it represents real wealth if each of these investments were real investments.발음듣기

So if this 900 gold pieces that were used to build this irrigation ditch or whatever it is, if that project actually does generate at least 900 gold pieces of future wealth essentially you could at least pay back the 900 gold pieces.발음듣기

It'll probably generate more if it's a good project.발음듣기

But if it generates at least 900 gold pieces of future wealth, then this is a real asset, right?발음듣기

This is a real asset. Likewise, if this factory really does generate at least 810 gold pieces of future wealth, if it really will allow us produce that much more apples or gold or whatever, this is a real asset here, right?발음듣기

So these people, this wealth, really does exist.발음듣기

This 2,710 gold pieces of quota quote wealth, really does exist as long as the projects that were the justification for borrowing the money actually do generate future wealth.발음듣기

So there's a couple of things to realize.발음듣기

There are not 2,710 gold pieces in this world.발음듣기

There only 1,000 physical gold pieces.발음듣기

But if these projects are real projects that are actually not mismanaged, they're not just some type of pouring-money-into-a-hole type of project, then we do have 2,710 gold pieces worth of wealth.발음듣기

And I really want to stress this point.발음듣기

Remember gold isn't wealth in of itself.발음듣기

Gold is used to represent wealth.발음듣기

You cannot eat gold. You cannot live under gold. Gold will not transport you someplace.발음듣기

Gold will not improve your health.발음듣기

It's something that's used to represent wealth.발음듣기

Sometimes people think it is wealth itself, and that's actually a misconception.발음듣기

So this 2,710 perceived gold pieces, that does represent real wealth, although it doesn't represent real gold pieces.발음듣기

And once again you might say, oh boy, this is some type of a shell game.발음듣기

But it's really not. As long as these investments are good investments.발음듣기

Remember, these are wealth generating investments.발음듣기

And notice, the money supply - at least as we defined it with this M1.발음듣기

it expanded to facilitate real economic production.발음듣기

So as long as this factory does generate wealth, or this irrigation ditch does generate wealth, then the money supply did not grow faster than the amount of wealth out there.발음듣기

So gold piece, you know, if before a gold piece bought an apple, now hopefully a gold piece will still buy an apple.발음듣기

In fact, and this is an important thing to realize, if these investments are very good, you're actually going to have let's say that we used to produce 1,000 apples per year.발음듣기

And notice apples are real wealth.발음듣기

Apples are something that you can consume.발음듣기

They will keep you living. And you can also view them as a form of investment, because by eating them you're able to do work.발음듣기

But anyway, let's say before all of this investment started happening, our economy could produce 1,000 apples.발음듣기

Now let's say that after this irrigation ditch was produced, instead of 1,000 apples, we go from being able to produce 1,000 apples to being able to produce 2,000 apples a year.발음듣기

And once again, a lot of wealth was created.발음듣기

Remember, we only took 900 gold pieces to build this.발음듣기

And all of a sudden we're doubling.발음듣기

We're able to produce another incremental 1,000 apples a year, which, in our old economy, was worth 1,000 gold pieces.발음듣기

So that actually will definitely pay off, right?발음듣기

You borrowed 900 gold pieces and this project will generate, not 1,000 gold pieces in total, it'll actually generate the equivalent of 1,000 gold pieces per year.발음듣기

It increases our production of 1,000 apples per year.발음듣기

And likewise, let's say that this factory takes us from 2,000 apples a year to 3,000.발음듣기

So let's think about it. Now in a given year, how many apples are being produced?발음듣기

We used to only have 1,000 apples being produced.발음듣기

Now we have 3,000 apples being produced, because these were really good investments.발음듣기

They really improved our productivity. So now, if you say everyone in the economy thinks that they have 2,710 gold pieces, or some equivalent of them, and we can produce 3,000 apples, now the money supply, 2,710, actually grew slower than our wealth.발음듣기

Let me let me draw that out.발음듣기

Before... Let's say money. Wealth.발음듣기

I think it's really important to separate the two concepts.발음듣기

Money is used to transact wealth or represent wealth.발음듣기

It is not wealth in and of itself.발음듣기

And that has some important philosophical underpinnings to it.발음듣기

It'll probably make you live happier if you realize this difference.발음듣기

But before we had 1,000 gold pieces, before the banking and this fractional reserve system existed.발음듣기

And we had 1,000 apples of wealth per year.발음듣기

And I'll go more into the velocity of money.발음듣기

But after all this stuff happened later, we had 2,710 perceived gold pieces.발음듣기

This was our M1 definition. Our M0, the actual physical gold, was still 1,000.발음듣기

But how many apple do we produce a year?발음듣기

We now produce 3,000 apples. So notice the ratio of gold to apples actually improved And now, if you think about it, an apple is actually going to cost less gold.발음듣기

Before roughly you had one gold piece per apple; now you have less than one gold piece per apple.발음듣기

So because of our innovation, we actually experienced deflation.발음듣기

So you might have said, oh, boy, all of this money was created out of nowhere.발음듣기

This money doesn't exist. This will lead to inflation. But no, this is a very important point, because the money was put to work in actual productive investments that create wealth, that make the pie bigger, or the pie of apples bigger, we actually experience deflation.발음듣기

And our economy actually grew. And this was actually a very positive example.발음듣기

I'll see you in the next video.발음듣기
