2. Douglas Carswell MP leads the way on monetary reform This Wednesday, Douglas Carlson MP (Conservative, Clacton) will introduce legislation into the UK parliament that takes the first step towards ending fractional reserve banking. As Steve Baker MP describes: ‘Douglas’s Bill would assert property rights over demand deposits. Real savings – term deposits – would be loaned to entrepreneurs, delivering an economy built on save and invest.’ This would have the effect of making fractional reserve banking impossible, requiring a shift to full-reserve banking (where the bank either lends your money, or keeps it safe, but doesn’t claim to do both at the same time!). In plain English, it would stop private banks being able to create money as debt. Steve Baker MP explains this in further detail here: http:\/\/conservativehome.blogs.com\/centreright\/2010\/09\/carswell-on-bank-reform.html Once Douglas Carlson has made his presentation in the House of Commons this Wednesday, the full text of the speech, and hopefully the video, will be available, along wth some ways that we can support this move.<\/p>\n
