What are the consequences of ending FRB?

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

What would happen if fractional reserve banking were ended? 

 

... just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own - Albert Jay Nock

 Fractional Reserve Banking != federal reserve.

We'd go back to the good ole days.Wink 100% reserve banking.

Deposits or borrowing wouldn't effect the money supply.

Banks could only lend out what's in their vaults - only the timed accounts as well.

Much of the pyramid-building (pdf) would cease, but a persisting Federal Reserve system would, I think, keep the bank/account-holder relationship from changing.

 It depends on the situation and the environment; also, how is the FRB liquidated?
