E2: How Money Is Created

About this episode

This episode explores how money is created through governments and banks, emphasizing the role of lending and debt in the economy.

Where does money actually come from? Most people think money is earned through work or exists in a fixed supply—but that’s not how the system works. In this episode of Currency Today, we break down how money is created through governments and banks, and why most of the money in the system is created through lending and debt. Once you understand this, you’ll start to see money and the economy very differently.
