> Banks lend at certain multiples of assets, 10:1. No this is wrong. They can not loan out more than total deposits. The trick is that if you deposit 100, they can loan out 90. It gets deposited with them, so they can loan out another 80

If it's symmetrical I'm sure lots of people would be fine with a work contract that guarantees them income for almost 3 years even if it means they can't easily quit. I know people in upper management roles in Switzerland tha
