	I'd never thought of that. What would Fischer Black say? He thought the money supply was endogenous.

So if the government creates a lot of dollars via spending but banks destroy it via reducing lending, then the amount of dollars floating around the economy won’t go up, and companies will be less likely to freak out and start raising prices rapidly. This happened during the Great Recession. But we don’t really know what makes banks do this, or when the process might stop. Presumably banks could reduce lending all the way to 0, but would they? And what would the economy look like then?)--Noah Smith, https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/no-one-knows-how-much-the-government}}
