Fancy Forms of Paperwork and the Logic of Financial Violence -- ROAR Magazine
David Graeber:
"There's this fantasy that Wall Street rakes in the money because
somehow people around the world are dazzled by the brilliance of its
'financial instruments.' But what are these instruments really? They're
just fancy forms of paperwork! They're the very pinnacle of this
bureaucratized form of capitalism we have today, where there's a perfect
synthesis of public and private power to guarantee profits to those who
fund the politicians."
