It’s time to delve into the murky waters of the nexus
between money, central banks, governments, banks, and humankind. Most of
my thoughts are focused on the present and the future, rather than the
past, so that means there will be a certain amount of informed
speculation. It’s much more interesting to look forward and consider
where we are going (using current/recent events as a guide) rather than
be constantly looking backwards for a guide to the future. Everything is
subject to change at all times, so it’s best not to have a fixed view,
but to treat matters on the balance of probabilities having considered
all available evidence. So, some readers may need to cast aside any
existing biases and prejudices they may have around this rather meaty
subject, as the future is likely to make those biases irrelevant.
Where to begin? I’ll start by stating that I have seen plenty of evidence that money is and always has been debt, and that it simply evolved that way. The best anthropological evidence of this evolution is contained in the early sections of David Graeber’s book ‘Debt: the First 5,000 Years’.
