The Debt Machine: How Private Banks Engineered Global Control

Why are average people struggling hard to keep up with the cost of living but never getting ahead? Author Mark Gerard Keenan, a United Nations Environment Programme Expert, argues in The Debt Machine it’s part of a modern, extraction-based economy that turns everyday citizens into permanent debtors. Underlying the “debt machine” is the control private banks have taken of global finance, in his point of view — and wars and recovery plans won’t fix it. If you’re a Social Capital leader, you won’t want to miss Keenan’s insights on what could be done to remake the system and create a better, more equitable world.
