Musgrave On 100% Reserves

Musgrave On 100% Reserves

In a comment on an before post, Ralph Musgrave pointed to his interesting novel paper on 100% reserve banking.

I haven't read the newspaper yet, but I beloved the Table of contents, reproduced partially below.

The cite "narrow Banking" or "full reserve banking" needs improvement. It's genuinely real broad banking -- as well as so long every bit the banking is funded past times equity or long-term debt. To enjoin "narrow" is almost a fallacy inwards itself, as well as perpetuates the fallacy that depository fiscal establishment lending volition dry out up. Maybe "Equity financed banking" or "full reserve deposit taking" would hold upwards better. Can anyone scream back of a cite that is both sexy as well as accurate?
