Today’s economy and capital markets are faced with the long-termbuildup of public and private credit. Furthermore, we face highertaxes, greater spending, and more debt. We are now at a criticalcrossroads and our leaders have few realistic solutions. Proposalscalling for tax reforms or fewer regulations have fallen on deafears. In fact, U.S. democracy has become more socialist and reformis needed immediately. Endless Money is an examination ofhow the U.S. government and the country’s financial systems haveembraced socialism, and why cultural deterioration reinforces thetrend and jeopardizes democracy. In it, author William Baker seesthis socialism embodied in two things. The first is thesocialization of income, the second is the socialization ofcredit.
