Do not confuse ignorance with evil. The system permits a good deal of both at the same time. A financial system based upon false premises encourages evil as it distorts social exchanges. Not to be overlooked is the simple incompetence of people.
Adhering to a regime of sound money would prevent many of the abuses and follies we see.

I agree however we had similar abuses with the unregulated money pools in the 1920’s when we were on a gold standard.
