Everyone's favourite tabloid, The Daily Telegraph, contains an article decrying the Financial Independence Retire Early philosophy1 I have a mixed relationship with the FIRE movement. It basically boils down to "spend less, save more, then you can retire once you've save 25x your annual spend". That's it. As Michael Taylor writes, some people f…
Only accusing the "big companies" for doing all sort of "unethical" things, is like only accusing mass murderers for the killings that they do. Every crime is a crime. Big or small. Small companies do similar shady practices and abuse people or destroy the environment.
But best is to look at the system that creates these entities instead of accusing companies or people.
As long as the underlying practice on this planet is to TRADE or else you are fucked, then this is what we are going to do and prioritize. Thus the evolution of companies and billionaires, waste, pollution, you name it.
A thing I think he doesn't give enough attention to is the role the Fed DOES play. The Fed indirectly controls bank lending rate through a couple mechanisms. The first is whatever rules it has for declaring a bank solvent. They've eliminated reserve requirements but now it's something like a stress test or whatever. A bank can't keep lending

#money -- some awesome #books about how fiat money system works … (fiat money is Govt-issued currency that isn’t backed by any #commodity such as #gold)
When the UK’s deputy foreign secretary has to admit that around 40% of all money laundered globally likely flows through London & the Crown Dependencies, you can bet that such an estimate will be on the low side.
There are many reasons that the UK's global reputation is increasingly tarnished & the work in financial services to hide & process criminal/illegal funds is contributing to that malaise.
So much for the value of financial services to the UK
Why not start the day with a little political economy
For those of you new to the idea that money is primarily the result of private credit creation in the banking sector, here's a nice (concise) summary of the position, linking the history of money, the role of the state & the importance of banks credit creation activity.
The key point, is there is no 'natural' economy, only one made from rule/laws of exchange & state interventions.
Our nearby small market town used to have 3 banks; they're all closed (taking their cash machines with them), and this week one of the two remaining cash machines was removed from the supermarket where it was located.
So, we're down to a single cash machine in an area with a radius (I'm guessing) of around 20 miles.
The cashless society doesn't represent consumer choice, its pace is being forced by financial institutions keen to charge fees on transactions!
Fair point - if you're not using digital payments, you should make the effort to get used to them. Cash is (mostly) going away. (This article also contains a guide to getting started with digital.)
Cash is dead. Why are we still pretending it isn’t?
“Everything at 100 pesetas”
(Everything at a low price)
A throwback sign on a side street in Petrer, Alicante, Spain.
The peseta was Spain’s monetary unit from 1868 until 2002 when it was replaced by the euro. The original exchange rate was approximately: 166 pesetas = 1 euro.

How Much is Enough? Money and the Good Life by Robert Skidelsky, 2012
What constitutes the good life? What is the true value of money? Why do we work such long hours merely to acquire greater wealth? These are some of the questions that many asked themselves when the financial system crashed in 2008. This book tackles such questions head-on.
