Today, we need to move on from a system that allows and encourages the worst in us (and the worst among us) to prosper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe take the money system for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- We accept that banks have the right to create, rent out and then destroy money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- We accept that banks have a right to charge us (and our government) interest on this money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- We accept that the system enhances inequality, drives climate change, degrades our planet, promotes war and conflict, and has always led to eventual disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearcher and writer Ivo Mosley here uncovers - and tells - the story of how money-creation works and how it came to be this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivo Mosley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911193643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911193647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triarchy Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Ivo Mosley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941104615679,"sku":"9781911193647","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ae4953ae-16d5-4222-b60e-4982eddde81e.jpg?v=1681450934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bank-robbery-ivo-mosley-9781911193647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
