Yes, monetarists suggest that the debt/money supply grow with the economy. This recent "innovation" allows the banking system to issue more debt.

This constant creation of new money at a frenetic pace is not the case in a capitalist economy.

Presumably, this is why the Fed has been watching M3 expand at an annual rate of roughly 15% during recent years.

Your comment demonstrates that very few alive today are familiar with capitalism.
