Value isn’t a zero-sum game. Disregarding inflation, money is. Fractional-reserve banking can only increase the money supply by a finite amount. I’m also puzzled by the notion that loans create new money.
Agreed. I guess you can argue that loans put money back into circulation, but the obvious corollary is that rich people hoarding money effectively destroys it.
There is no limit in how many loans a central bank can give to regular banks because the central bank doesn't have to be backed by deposits, gold or any other scarce resource.
