Banks create credit money when they spend into the real economy, so the money is created without debts nor taxes, ex nihilo. Banks can have the whole world without really paying, sic... unlimited in many countries, as in Canada...
Any person or any organization who can create practically at will sums of money equivalent to the price values of all the goods produced by the community is the virtual owner of those goods, and, therefore, the claim of the banking system to the ownership of the money which it creates is a claim to the ownership of the country.[18, C.H. Douglas ]
