There is a wide spread belief that the banking sector created the current crisis. In this essay I explain in very simple words why private banks are not responsible for the crisis, and more specifically why private banks cannot create what is called "inflationary money". I explain that inflationary money is always and everywhere created by governments. I also explain how and why governments do so. Finally I say a few things about conspiracy theories concerning the central banks, since the latter play a key role on what we call "inflationary money". This essay is written for non economists with an interest on the subject . Even though I have postgraduate studies in economics I am not a specialist, and this document is the knowledge I gathered in an attempt to answer my own questions. Moreover, English is not my first language so you will have to excuse my syntax.
