Publishers Description: Extreme money is money made endless, capable of infinite multiplication, completely unreal. It changed everything, individual life, business, even countries. At the heart of this new economy, voodoo banking increases bankers' profits. The Masters of the Universe and their cult of risk dominate economies and lives. The human race created money and the finance economy. Somewhere thereafter, it recreated us and not always for the better. Mankind mistook money, a lubricant of society and the economy, for an end in itself. Finance became eviscerated reality - the monetary shadow of real things. Extreme Money is that story. It is also essentially the story of the modern world.
