human history
Banks exist because of people
Source? @Arch-Fiend
There were banks that formed absent actual government presense
The first banks weren't even state sponsored
if you dont care to listen to what someone has to say then you really dont need to be having a conversation with them
The modern banking system exists on the basis of fiat currency
Bank = i have money and i can lend you some, but you have to give me back every month by ??% increase.
also i wont give you more than i'm ready to loose on each person because i dont trust you and if you dont give me back i wont give you anymore and will tell other (banks) not to have business with you
I am reading what you are saying, I am also providing some counter points
I'm listening, but you're making a statement and I want a source for that statement. @Arch-Fiend The thing is that historically, ruling classes were not the merchant class, but rather, the warrior class.
If you need sources for whatever I'm saying, please ask and I'll gladly provide
When i say financial instutitions, i dont mean buildings but rather contracts between people to work for goods or alot trading that one individual alone coulsnt possibly produce
Like 2 people trading with 2 other people
You don't need the state for that
Yeah no state is needed for normal financial exchange
It isn't until the second half of the 19th century that the merchants effectively took over as the leading class in society. Samura to Zibatsu (Spelling?) in Japan,
Or any financial exchange, even for shit like law
People just want it to regulate existing modes of transaction
AskTheRisk i dont know how about your country but in my country some company avoid % you have to pay government by directly selling product to the costumer without company involvement
it doest take cuts if you directly sell to another person but when you start business than government comes in play
Isn't that what the black market ends up being, ultimately?
Not all black markets are bad but they get ugly fast
They get ugly fast because they end up in war with the government
Also because they're a good method of offloading goods gained via non monopolized coercion
pazuzu as you put it, the person who produces enough to hire people to voluntarily produce for them isn't leeching off anyone or taking advantage. thats true, and his children will inherit that system and wealth that he had of hiring people to work for him. but he might exapand his business into something more than agroculture, something like civil protection, metal industrys, and then perhaps an industry that serves both such as weapon manufacturing. and now once he is hiring people to create food, extract metals, create tools, and protect everyone doing the following he could hire and overproduction of people who protect everyone who has all the tools of protection from the tool creators to make war on other people doing the same thing as him in a form of forced consolidation of wealth
its not black market tho
its like, i want something, you buy something but i have not official company
technicly in human history this occured before metal production, it was stone to begin with
Essentially as the markets expands more and more, more regulation will be neccesary
and honestly people were killing eachother for production long before agroculture
A good example is stopping the deplatforming of people on the internet
Why is that necessarily the case?
@My Preferred Pronoun Is Sama like social media
You can't yeet people off the internet, just normie sites
Non normie sites are quarantine sites
But thats a whole another debate
basically, monopoly is bad and it needs to be regulated, and there is a laws to regulate
for most of human existence humans really only saw other humans as dangerous animals that were less dangerous than most other animals when you took them by surprise. if you were part of the ingroup you were human, otherwise you got the same treatment as the wolf did.
well, even now there is low number of people a human can look as a human tho
like you will feel tragedy when you hear that one of your friends die
