Our money system is a toxic left-over from a time when theft on
a grand scale – war and empire-building – was glorified. Today,
we need to move on from a system that allows and encourages the
worst in us (and the worst among us) to prosper. We take the money
system for granted. » We accept that banks have the right to
create, rent out and then destroy money. » We accept that banks
have a right to charge us (and our government) interest on this
money. » We accept that the system enhances inequality, drives
climate change, degrades our planet, promotes war and conflict, and
has always led to eventual disaster. But why do we accept this
manifestly undemocratic money system, which serves only to
concentrate power and wealth in the hands of organisations and
individuals that have profit – not our collective interests –
at heart? Curious to find the answer, researcher and writer Ivo
Mosley set out to uncover – and tell – the story of how
money-creation works and how it came to be this way. Many years in
the writing, this book is not an attack on individuals or a rant
against bankers. Rather it’s a remarkably clear and comprehensive
examination of a system that supports unaccountable and destructive
power. It also points the way to the simple reforms that are
necessary if we wish to create a more just and equitable world.
Easily accessible to readers with no previous knowledge of
economics and finance, this is a book for anyone interested in
creating a fairer and more sustainable society in the face of
economic, financial and environmental crisis.
