    So it's back to the bad old days then?
    I am of the opinion that nothing is going to stimulate growth unless commercial banks are firstly, stripped of the ability to 'create money out of nothing' through lending and secondly, Fractional Reserve Banking is seriously reviewed as a concept.
    The original idea from the regulators would have been acceptable in the interim but going back to tokenism will not please anybody (except the banks of course)
