Most other forms of money are viable only to the extent they can be converted on demand into the government's fiat money.Operating in a fractional reserve regime, banks expand the money supply by creating deposits as they issue loans to borrowers. Bank money is now the principal form of money used within the private sector.Some economists believe fractional reserve banking creates serious problems for the economy in terms of inflation and the misuse of credit.
