MODERATORS
Even expanding the money supply doesn't "magic money up out of the air" in the sense to which I'm referring.
If the ECB expands the money supply, it generates inflation. That effectively taxes everyone holding euros or euro-linked assets and transfers the real wealth associated with that to whoever winds up with the new money being created.
