Wow is your story good! This is EXACTLY what I believe has been going on with the monetary system. Dollars no longer represent more productive value in the future, but less. They must be propped up by more dollars through borrowing and Central bank (wealthy people) manipulated interest rates. The decrease in production is what is widening the income/wealth gap.
I've always wondered what a root cause might be and you, or Dr Arnoux, may have it!
