As Evil Does

Meer over het boek

The book explores how historical economic structures have hindered modern governments from effectively addressing crises like housing bubbles and unemployment. Author Fred Harrison argues that a "culture of cheating," rooted in the 16th-century feudal aristocracy's coup against monarchy, has led to the misappropriation of social revenues. As a result, governments resorted to taxing earned incomes, which has negatively impacted productivity and contributed to contemporary social issues. Harrison presents a critical view of the systemic failures in financial governance.
