Another interview of his.

Lots of lucid explanation explaining the basic financial deception foisted upon the mass of citizens by the Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) sector.

I don't know enough about the U.S. greenback, which he mentions near the end, but I do find it a curiosity that he points to the specific time period where corporate welfare began as one example of a fiat currency that worked well. Perhaps he's referring solely to the financing mechanism and not the policy that gave birth to today's corporatist monster. Don't know...
