Want to Read $ 9.99"Popular morality blames victims for going into debt – not only individuals, but also national governments. The trick in this ideological war is to convince debtors to imagine that general prosperity depends on paying bankers and making bondholders rich – a veritable Stockholm Syndrome in which debtors identify with their financial captors."-Michael Hudson, Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy
"In fact, they are not taught in any university departments: the dynamics of debt, and how the pattern of bank lending inflates land prices, or national income accounting and the rising share absorbed by rent extraction in the Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (FIRE) sector. There was only one way to learn how to analyze these topics: to work for banks. Back in the 1960s there was barely a hint that these trends would become a great financial bubble."-Michael Hudson, Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy
