The book examines the historical, economic, and political context of debt-based monetary systems, demonstrating how these systems have created and perpetuated poverty and income inequality. By exploring the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small percentage of the population, the book highlights the challenges faced by the majority of the population in making ends meet and addresses the connection between debt-based monetary systems, socioeconomic issues, and criminal activity. The book also examines the ways in which debt-based monetary systems contribute to the commission of financial crimes, including fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. By analyzing the various factors that drive individuals to commit financial crimes, the book argues that debt-based monetary systems create an environment that encourages financial crimes and encourages criminal behavior.
