Interactive SImulators
Interactive Monetary Simulators
Reading about monetary systems is one thing. Watching their mechanics unfold is another. These interactive exhibits allow you to experiment with bank credit creation, monetary distribution, inflation, purchasing power, and debt through visual models designed to make abstract concepts tangible.
Four Monetary Exhibits
Each simulator isolates one part of the monetary system so you can see the mechanism before connecting it to the larger picture.
Commercial Bank Credit Creation
Watch a commercial bank create a new deposit when it issues a loan. Follow the double-entry bookkeeping and see why the borrower receives newly created bank money rather than a transfer of another customer's deposit.
The Cantillon Effect Simulator
Explore how newly created purchasing power enters the economy, who receives it first, how its effects spread through markets and households, and why monetary expansion does not affect everyone at the same time or in the same way.
Inflation & Purchasing Power
See what happens when prices, wages, and savings grow at different rates. Follow the purchasing power of the same $100, watch the cost of an unchanged basket rise, and compare nominal income with real income over time.
The Debt Creation Pyramid
Compare the amount of bank money created with the principal and interest claims owed against it. Follow the repayment process and examine the closed-system relationship between money in circulation and total debt obligations.
Recommended Learning Path
Begin with the creation of bank money, then follow its movement, its effect on purchasing power, and the debt claims associated with the credit system.
Money Creation
See how commercial bank lending creates new deposit money.
Cantillon Effect
Follow newly created purchasing power through different parts of the economy.
Purchasing Power
Observe how changing prices, wages, and savings affect real economic purchasing power.
Debt Structure
Compare bank-created money with the repayment obligations attached to the credit system.
