The dominant consideration in our economic system is not what people want,
either as consumers or workers, but what people can afford or be persuaded to
buy, and what they can be persuaded by force of circumstance to do for
money, as
a job. To put the matter another way, the modern economy is driven, not by the
aggregate desires of what people want out of the economy, but by what the
economy can get out of them. The only fitting word for this is
slavery. Michael
Rowbotham, The Grip of Death: A Study of Modern Money, Debt Slavery and
Destructive Economics, (Charlbury: Jon Carpenter Publishing, 1998),
