I'm just as concerned about international banking houses as I am about industrialists, Ron. Making money is a game that very wealthy people play (while for the rest of us it's a matter of survival), and it's essentially an artificial game which works within its own rulebook. You win simply by making more of the stuff, regardless of how you do it. That makes it a dangerous game.

It's been going on for a long time, but I think that with the advent of the digital age and electronic money that can be created out of thin air and moved across the world in the blink of an eye, we have bigger problems with the abuses of financial power (and the fallout from that abuse) than we used to.

It's also much harder to contact any real living person now, and discuss it with them. Have you noticed that when attempting to phone any large financial organization lately? Then too, when you do manage to reach a real person, all they can usually do is read to you from a prepared script, from the sound of it.
