Given that societies function as a super organisms, as the executive and regulatory function, government is analogous to the central nervous system, while money and banking mirror blood and the circulation system. Presumably circulating resources effectively around the whole body.

One of the current problems is that while we have evolved to accept that government should function as a public utility, even though it is messier than one autocrat, we haven't yet understood the same principles apply to banking. When the medium enabling markets is privately managed, we are all tenant farmers to the banks.

Consequently the banks have the upper hand over government, as they don't have to work around election cycles, have less oversight and can control the finances of anyone running for or in office.

So the only real job those flunkies have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

One very large problem this creates is that it leaves a bunch of compromised people in charge of disposing of all the borrowed money. So they end up playing cowboys and indians on the other side of the planet, while the country falls apart.

My view on it;
