You might find the chart under the heading “cumulative effect” interesting; under a 20% reserve requirement a $100 deposit creates $357 in new money via loans:

A lower reserve requirement allows even greater credit expansion.

This one?

The one that shows a 10% reserve requirement magically turning a $100 deposit into a hair less than $1000?

I get it. Would you 'splain that to the Toddster for me?

I'd do it myself, but clearly my teaching skills aren't up to the challenge.
