Central banking might be the biggest scam in modern finance.
Think about it: unelected officials control the money supply, set interest rates that determine the cost of everything from mortgages to corporate debt, and bail out their friends when things go south. Meanwhile, regular people get crushed by inflation they didn't vote for and can't escape.
The Fed prints trillions, calls it "liquidity support," and somehow we're supposed to believe it's all for our benefit. Yet asset bubbles inflate, wealth inequality explodes, and the currency loses purchasing power year after year.
Every major financial crisis traces back to central bank policy mistakes — artificially low rates, excessive credit creation, moral hazard from endless bailouts. Then they "fix" the mess by doing more of what caused it in the first place.
Maybe the real question isn't whether central banks are necessary. It's whether they've become the problem they claim to solve.
