I don't know what I'm writing about.
I know nothing of GDP, of where or how money is produced, I don't understand the difference between money and credit or how the taxation system or commodity markets work. Do you?
If you do then this blog probably isn't for you. Please do feel free to stick around and offer corrections where necessary, though.
If you don't then welcome, thank you for reading.
Don't you think it is odd that we live in a capitalist society yet know little of the way capitalism actually works? Doesn't it gnaw at you to see those who have so much already prosper even more while the rest of us scramble and squabble over their scraps.
Don't be confused by my rhetoric, I am a capitalist, I think it can be a great leveller of people and nations. Used wisely I think capitalism can provide for the world. But if we look at the world to today it is clear capitalism in it's current format is not working. The odds are stacked in the favour of the 5% who control the staggering majority of the world's wealth. Why should this be so?
Do you want to understand it? I sure do! I want to understand it, I want to share it and I want to change it.
