Have you not heard of inflation? It is literally the creation of new monies that the government gives to banks to give loans.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

that’s… not at all what inflation means… it is 1 of many causes of inflation

and the government doesn’t “give” it to banks

the reality is far more complex in both cases, even if sometimes the simplified version of things looks like that

I'm talking monetary inflation, not price inflation.
