<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1248697, member: 29012&quot;]This analogy is one I read a few years ago that first peaked my interest in precious metals. The answer can be one of two things. It either comes from thin air, thus decreasing the buying power of existing currency if goods and services are not also increased by the same magnitude. Or it comes from the existing pool of money, meaning that somebody somewhere must lose wealth for the borrower to break even, thus increasing the overall level of debt. My understanding is that the banking system started out as the latter, and is now like the former. In either case it amounts to loss of wealth by those participating in the system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
