Money and how it is created is a fascinating subject, not well understood by the public. I too have some questions. We know money is created by debt - money is debt. The CBs keep track of how much money is in circulation, and adjust int. rates and lending policy to achieve their targets. For example, in the news currently: China Money Supply Growth Slows Amid Campaign to Contain Risk Bloomberg · 1 day ago S.Korea Jan money supply growth eases to slowest in nearly 3 years Times of India · 1 day ago I wonder, is there any "free" money in circulation, that isn't debt? And if there is, can it be increased? Which brings me to gold, which is considered a form of money, held by Central Banks, but what about cash, or electronic cash, ... can money supply be increased without debt? I think I know the answer, and wouldn't it be nice if it could be done?
