Notes

• most people have no

alternative but to sell their ability to work for a wage and inevitably be paid less than the value they produce.

• What is the first

step in this direction? It is a radical change of perspective. There is nothing more political than the lens through which we view the world. Only if we learn to look at the world differently can we act differently.

• central banks,

which began removing key policy decisions from democratic scrutiny.

• the profits of saver-entrepreneurs are the result

of their virtuous behavior, enabling them to sign workers’ paychecks, which sounds good. The message is so persuasive that today almost everyone has internalized it: if we try hard enough, each of us can become a rich investor
