    Well, yes and no. It’s grey like most things in life.

    Banks and credit are a means to “grow the pie” by allowing us to factor in future value. Before banks and credit, the world was a zero sum game where one person only had because the other person had not.

    They do serve a real purpose but are only valuable when properly managed.
