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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIvo Mosley\u003c\/b\u003e is a respected journalist and author of several books including\u003ci\u003e Democracy, Fascism and the New World Order\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIn The Name of the People\u003c\/i\u003e.
