As Evil Does

Viac o knihe

The book explores how historical economic structures have hindered modern governments from effectively addressing crises like housing bubbles and unemployment. Author Fred Harrison argues that a "culture of cheating," rooted in the 16th-century feudal aristocracy's coup against monarchy, has led to the misappropriation of social revenues. As a result, governments resorted to taxing earned incomes, which has negatively impacted productivity and contributed to contemporary social issues. Harrison presents a critical view of the systemic failures in financial governance.
