Money is debt

Money is created by banks from debt, because the banks charge interest, the debt will always exceed the available money supply. The system demands perpetual growth to service a perpetually growing debt that in the long run will transfer all wealth to the banks.

“One thing to realize about our fractional reserve banking system is that, like a child’s game of musical chairs, as long as the music is playing, there are no losers” -Andrew Gause, Monetary historian

“Money is a new form of slavery, and indistinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal, there is no human relation between master and slave” - Leo Tolstoy

3. How can a money system dependend on perpetually accelerating growth be used to build a sustainable economy?
4. What specifically needs to be changed?
