It's not entirely clear to me, because I'm not an economist, but from everything I've read I understood the following:
1 The Central Bank CREATES MONEY OUT OF NOTHING
2 It uses that money to lend, pay, buy and do whatever it wants with companies, governments and other banks
3 It puts everyone into debt, creates MORE MONEY OUT OF NOTHING and continues doing whatever it wants
Is that so?
Basically, some of the specific mechanisms may differ by bank, but it's the same scam in every case.
The check on runaway money creation is just how politically unpopular inflation is. Otherwise, they could just abolish all taxes and purely pay with freshly printed money.
