Money is the route of all evil. There's a quote somewhere that says "If everyone fully understood the banking system there'd be a revolution overnight". I can't even think about it because it boils my piss so much because it's basically legal corruption. You pay back £1.80 for every £1 you borrow with a mortgage and the frustrating (putting it very fucking lightly) thing is that that money does not, has not and will not ever actually exist. It's just numbers on a computer.
The Venus Project (Jacques Fresco) is a fucking interesting alternative.
