Abstract

In this study, it is explained that the perception of the conventional economics of the bank as an intermediary institution of funds, while not conforming to reality, distorts the analysis of monetary fluctuations and subsequent economic turmoil; but in the alternative approach, the bank, as the most important player in the monetary system, has the power to create flexible credit. The specific question of the present study is whether it can be said that in the current form of the monetary and banking system, the interests of the bank and society are inherently in conflict with each other. To answer the above question, the library and documentary method has been used and Finally, it is concluded that the bank is an institution that can outsource the costs associated with the flexible and irregular expansion of credit and affect the economic interests of individuals in society, and in return, gain the benefits of creating credit; This important result is based on Minsky's explanation of the dynamics of bank-firm relations; In his view, the internal mechanisms of the money manager capitalism and specifically the way the firm and the bank interact, cause "stability to create instability". The result of the current research is that, firstly, the conflict between the interests of the bank and the society is the natural outcome of the unrealistic understanding of the conventional economic knowledge of the "bank", and secondly, the examples of this conflict can be seen in three recurring periods: 1. Before the appearance of the initial signs of the monetary and banking crisis. 2. After the initial signs of the crisis appear. 3. The occurrence of a widespread crisis and its spread to other sectors of the economy.
