We have given the banks the rights to shape our minds on the economy.
Despite the fact that we know that the people who run the banks are primarily concerned with increasing the profitability of the banks.
By unwittingly not knowing what we are doing, we then take key decisions on their behalf. We base our opinions, and how to wiew the economy on how the banks make up their wiews. We simply accept their truth. And we accept self injuries, privatising common assets and austerity plans by their advisory.
This is dangerous.
We are giving away our resources and our ability to decide and control our own policy. By doing this we are just supporting the conditions to further push up debt, house prices, inflate speculative financial bubbles, and starve small businesses of investment.
When our government talks about the economy, about their financial policies and funding, it is all to obvious that the decisions they are making about our economy are shaped by the interests of our banks.
They are not shaped by the interest of our common good.
