In this episode, Matt Love and I break down exactly why that happens, how banks actually make their money, and why owning your own banking system beats depending on someone else's.\nWe unpack the real math behind bank lending — when a bank pays you 1% on deposits and charges 7% on a loan, that's not a 6% spread, it's a 600% rate of return, because none of the money being lent was theirs to begin with.
