Capitalism and credit go hand in hand. Credit
makes trust valuable, with more credit entrusted means more investors are
willing to bet on something that isn’t tangible now but will have the potential
to generate immense wealth later on. It’s almost magical to make more money out
of money, to make one slice of cake turn into 20 slices of cake. With credit, the
cake gets bigger and bigger, and now there’s more than enough cake to go around
the whole world. Now, people can become rich without the extent of you becoming
poor, people can become obese without the extent of you having to starve. That’s
the ideal version of capitalism, but oh do some people starve.
