The Extractive Nature of the Current Financial System
The current financial system is characterized by a debt-based structure that is fundamentally insolvent, relying on continuous inflation to maintain its appearance of solvency. This system is viewed as extractive, effectively stealing from individuals to sustain itself, while also exacerbating societal divisions and externalities. A unifying solution is not achievable from within this flawed paradigm, leading to a worsening state of affairs. As inflation escalates, the natural market tendency toward deflation, driven by productivity improvements, remains suppressed, causing 8 billion individuals to miss out on increased wealth through lower prices.
