Hence the shock-horror when the Lehman failure raised the spectre of an implosion of our banking system. It is far nearer the truth to claim that ‘Evil is the root of all money’, a witty phrase coined by Nobu Kiyotaki and John Moore. If we all always paid our bills in full with absolute certainty, then everyone could buy anything on his/her own credit, by issuing an IOU on him/ herself.
