Money And Debt
Synopsis: This week on “Learn Me Something,” Aaron and Rich delve into the topic of money and debt. How did our economy get this way, how can we fix it, and can we build a society that doesn’t rely on currency?
If you want to be slaves of the bankers, and pay the costs of your own slavery, then let the banks create money. –Lord Stamp (1937)
Money doesn’t mind if we say it’s evil, it goes from strength to strength. It’s a fiction, an addiction, and a tacit conspiracy. –Martin Amis, Money (1984)
