There has to be a logical fallacy in there somewhere!

No there isn't. It is entirely OK.
For each person they hold both a debit and a credit balance in their own accounts. In other words, each of them owes E100 and is owed E100. All the consumption has already taken place. Once the money has wizzed round, they are all richer by E100, having been paid, but poorer by E100 having paid their debts. Simples!!

So it was a zero sum gain!

If it's that simple then why didn't quantitative easing work?

I think your question could more accurately be put thus: why doesn't QE solve problems QE cannot solve? Very happy to explain if you want me to. Ask me in the economics thread.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Great. The only ones I missed were the "logician" ones (have to think more about those) and one of the computer ones.
Does that qualify me as a nerd?
