Hi

There has been a dispute going on for this wiki on and off for about 6 years.

1. One group say that only previously created money can be lent by private banks

2. The other group say the private banks create credit where they lever their available asset base by creating money "ex niliho" or out of nothing and they then manage the liabilities this creates for them.

In february of 2007 view 2 was removed, time went by and new editors arrived and the struggle continued. In 2010 it appears that due to abitration an 'alternate view' area was permitted, which up and until recently was quite poorly cited and only two small paragraphs or so.

Currently Group 1. are "the mainstream economics" and group 2 are 'alternative views' and are labeled as fringe in discussions.

I have now supplied a large number of central banking quotes in the alternate area. For example from current BOE deputy governor for financial stability paul tucker.

In the discussion area it appears people are not aware how banks operate and because this information is not available in the text books they are aware of then it represents a minority view where the important view is the mainstream view where as i understand it mainstream economics means taught in universities as the dominant view.

In the past the mainstreamers have demanded central bank references and now they have them they are still saying it is a minority view.

So here i am. Can you please tell me what in the first instance i should do once discussion is not happening in the talk pages?

Thanks Andrew
