Niklas's quote from Busting the Bankers' Club - BookWyrm
quote:
ADDING IT ALL UP: IS ROARING BANKING A NET BENEFIT OR COST TO SOCIETY
In a slightly audacious exercise, we take a bird's-eye view of all these component parts and ask the question: Is roaring banking a net benefit or cost to society Juan Montecino and I tried to answer this question. Though we could only come up with a very rough estimate, our evidence shows that the net impact of roaring banking on our economy is actually *negative*. What that means is that, compared with a reasonably structured financial system, such as *boring banking*, our economy would actually be better off without our current problematic financial system.
Earlier in this chapter, I showed that our present financial system has contributed to a large increase in income and wealth inequality. Moreover, I have shown how our system precipitated a major financial crisis in 2007-2009 and almost caused another one in 2020. But it is also important to recognize that our dysfunctional financial system costs most members of our society on a daily basis even when the financial system seems to be operating "normally."
In *economeze*, roaring banking not only operates as a *zero-sum game* which shifts pieces of the economic pie from one group (the rest of us) to another group (the bankers). In fact, finance has operated in recent years as a *negative sum game*. Roaring banking actually shrinks the size of the whole pie. Roaring banking is not only inequitable, it is inefficient as well.
Here I present a big picture estimate of the high cost of roaring banking-the big picture costs of our current financial system, over and above the benefits it provides. I divide the costs into three components: first are the cost of excessive incomes through overcharging customers and the public and the "circuit of wealth grabbing" second are the costs to society that result from the fact that modern finance allocates too much of our human and financial resources to the financial industry and away from more socially productive sectors of our economy third are the costs that arise from the fact that our financial system generates major financial crises.
Adding all these costs together, we find that between 1990 and 2019, roaring banking has cost society somewhere between $45 trillion and $68 trillion. Using the lower estimate, this amounts to more than $170,000 for every person and $350,000 for every family in the United States. Without this loss, the typical American person would have augmented their wealth at retirement (sixty-five years old) by one-third.

Divertido, entretenido y bizarro. Una lectura muy agradable que te hace volar la cabeza con los giros que da y los derroteros que van tomando los personajes.
