The problem is not an issue here or an issue there, so much as it’s an insane notion of the purpose of money. The purpose of an economy is to serve people, the purpose of people is not to serve an economy.

The economy IS the people. It’s the voluntary trading we engage in. The purpose of money is to be a medium of exchange (so we don’t have to barter), a store of value (which the Fed ruined), and to allow economic calculation.

Which must be fairly and appropriately regulated by govt so that monopolistic forces don’t skewer it in the direction of the very wealthy.

Government IS the monopolistic force that is skewing it toward the rich. That’s the entire problem. The gov’t gave the big banks a monopolistic cartel on money, and that’s how they fuck us.
