1.Who creates money?
2.Who decides how newly created money is used?
3.Who gets the profit from newly created money?
and I'll bet you thought you lived in a democracy - I don't remember voting for any of them 
I agree Banjax!
The hard fact is it is not all about democracy ruling, but so often International Bankers and their institutions who rule! It has been this way for a very long time, although I am not fully knowledgeable by a long way on banking and monetary techniques.
Two things I do know is:
1. The Bank Of England do not have enough gold to honour payments on all the notes and coinage out there in the system. To me that means we always live beyond our actual financial situation
2. Without the International banking system much in history could not have taken place. The Nazis in relatively modern history is a good example of this fact, with their whole war effort only possible due to the financing made available to them by Swiss, American and British bankers, amongst others, in a consortium that lasted from the 1930s to 1945.
Who rules our countries indeed?!
The current situation proves how the dog is waged by the (bankers) tail!
