Everywhere I look, I see economic vitality. Goods being transported across continents. Food being grown. Factories producing. Services operating. Commerce flowing. People working, creating value, dedicating their energy and time. It is, in many ways, something beautiful. Humanity cooperating at an enormous scale.
And yet, almost all of it is being quietly destroyed by a single mechanism.
A mechanism so poorly understood that the very people affected by it do not realize their work could deliver far more to themselves, to their families and to society as a whole. The fruits of all this productivity could be shared naturally. Everyone could be improving their standard of living, saving for the future and building personal security without depending on governments to survive.
The natural state of a productive economy is falling prices and rising purchasing power for everyone.
When technology improves and productivity increases, life should become more affordable. That is not a theory. It is basic logic. And yet, this does not happen. Not because of greed. Not because people are not working hard enough. But because of a hidden mechanism of theft operating at the core of the system.
This mechanism uses a specific tool: expandable money.
Money that can be created more of. Money that can be issued at will. Money that does not represent saved work or real value but is produced by decree, either printed or created digitally. Legitimate money should never be created out of nothing by anyone. Not by banks. Not by governments. That is precisely what humanity has always searched for and never fully achieved.
Instead, financial elites and governments invented a form of money they control. A money supply they can expand whenever it suits them. They use this newly created false value to divert the real productivity of society toward themselves, quietly and continuously.
What results is a poisoned system.
Money is the blood of society. It circulates through every activity, every exchange, every plan for the future. When that blood is contaminated, the entire body suffers. Universal prosperity gives way to poverty, social tension, violence, wars and even disease. Not because humanity failed, but because the medium coordinating its efforts is corrupt.
This is my personal view when I observe all the economic strength of modern society. So much energy. So much cooperation. So much potential.
All undermined by a mechanism of theft that most people do not even know exists.
