The Hinterlands

Here's a look at just one of the ways these strange times are playing out in the world of money. Our economic system allows for the accumulation of wealth--in terms of buying power, at least.

The hand that feeds, in this case, is also the hand that steals.
For this episode, I spoke with a friend about this article from zerohedge.com. The content will be a bit thorny for the uninitiated, but this crap is worth trying to understand. Not because understanding will let you get in on the action, but because the action is robbery, and that robbery is facilitated by a system that persists because its members fall almost entirely into two camps: those who benefit from it, and those who don't understand it.
