"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in." Desmond Tutu A Non-fiction book which looks at our greatest economic and social fragility from the perspective of a financial industry insider. Someone who spent enough time within the back rooms of banks and investment firms to witness some of the "Secrets of farming humans". Where the largest gangs are unseen and invisible to the public, and where the first rule is there are no rules for those at the top. "Rules are only for fools", is the silent message at the top. This book could be considered a How To Manual For Dictators and Dummies. It contains historical examples of how our leaders become our looters over a period of time. The author takes the unique perspective that the reasons why we can no longer have nice things in many first world societies, or why nice things seem available only for fewer and fewer people, and not for all, is intentional. Readers will discover a few dozen examples of how those steps were put into place. Slowly and quietly over time. Readers will also discover an organized process or cooperation between professionals and public servants to abuse the public interest, to benefit the richest and most powerful entities on the planet, and to also benefit themselves as a result. A breach of the public trust is what this looks like when all is said and done. This is about how to manipulate rules, regulations, laws and belief systems to make some men more equal than others. An interesting and invisibly masterful repeal of the "all men are created equal" claim made just over 240 years ago in the U.S. Equally applicable to many first world countries today.
