Summary
One of the first human problems was the sharing business. It worked fairly well until someone discovered money. Before long, they had a finance system - ostensibly controlled by a man known as a banker - connected to a new belief system. Eternal growth became the new deity, worshipped by a blessed elite, fuelled by debt and the sacrifice of workers. In this episode, Bruce Petty's finance contraption starts with money circulating around a simple market tube for the convenience of people, and ends with people being circulated around a complex job tube for the sake of the almighty dollar
