Moneytheism and Lawless Finance

Ann Pettifor

Chapter 5 in The Coming First World Debt Crisis, 2006, pp 120-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The economic system that dominates our world today — globalization, financial liberalization, trade liberalization — did not evolve spontaneously. It is the result of conscious decisions taken by men and women, many of them elected and enjoying democratically-sourced power. They are, or were influenced by their voters, by the media, by the organized religions as well of course as by ‘big business’ and the finance sector.
