I've been taking economy classes in college as a minor. Then it hit me. Something that people in ancient times have already known. The problem is interest.
The lending capacities of banks is not limited to deposits of their customers. They can loan money they don't have. The interest a loan generates has to be paid back by the borrower. Money that didn't exist before. THIS right here is the reason why all countries are indebted. THIS is the reason why all companies DEPEND on growing. THIS is the reason why the economy is pressured to increase productivity. YOU are paying for interest with your taxes.
As long as there's private banks and hedgefunds, you will be exploited for labor. As long as speculation happens, you will be exploited for labor.
You can't have infinite growth with finite resources. You can't have wealth without having poverty.
This is capitalism. Divide and conquer. Dividende et impera.
