WEEK OF CHANGE

The glass fronts of Frankfurt’s bank district seem to imply transparency. But who really knows what goes on behind them? The bankers don’t like to show their hands. But despite this, Carmen Losmann (WORK HARD, PLAY HARD) manages to reveal the foundations of our turbo-capitalist system both conclusively and comprehensively: the inseparable ties of credit and growth. It’s a dependency that inevitably will lead to a great crash. With her seemingly simple questions (“How is money created?”) Losman leaves even top economists hard-pressed for an explanation.
