The major influences on Keen's thinking about economics include John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Hyman Minsky, Piero Sraffa, Augusto Graziani, Joseph Alois Schumpeter, Thorstein Veblen, and François Quesnay.

    In that era a small business loan from the CTB was backed by government legislation, until it was privatised and the exchange rate sent interest rates through the stratosphere.

    This is not speculation, it's the obvious example of Control Fraud, and the same mechanism is still making the same returns on social destruction of trust in government today.

    Logic Steve, Logic. If those companies needed banks there’d be a motivation. Companies like GE are their own financial institutions. Apple alone sits on billions. Most of your complaints about what banks don’t do anymore arise from other actors replacing those functions. And banks make mucho money through mechanisms created in the mid 90s.
