Crime Against Humanity: Debt Money, 2

The banker loans the money out of thin air to nations, businesses, groups, individuals; they borrow it giving in exchange whatever pledge of delivery or real products, and that commits them to pay back the banker an interest as well as the original amount.

Speaking of interest, let’s entertain ourselves for a moment with another facet of the greed of the suppressive: compound interest, also known as anatocism. Sort of an exponential accelerator; when the criminals gain the upper hand show this tendency to fiddling about with these cat−and−mouse tricks…
Had you never heard of it, the mechanism is as follows:

If a friend lends you a long−playing, you keep it, hopefully listen to it, even more hopefully care for it, you do so for an undefined while, then you give that very long−playing back to your friend and that is all.
If a creditor a bit less your friend and a bit venal loans you something, he wants back more: loans you ten quids, wants back eleven; interest, he calls it.
If a creditor not at all your friend and just a little more venal loans you something, he wants back much more, so he will play cat and mouse with you.
The first trick is subdividing time: the creditor tells you that time is not indefinite anymore but it is now divided into units, say, a month or a year, so now you’re going to owe him a given amount of interest for each time unit the loan lasts.
The second trick is subdividing the loan: the creditor also tells you that the loan is now subdivided in parts, say, quids or pounds or gallons, so now you’re going to owe him a given amount of interest for each part of the loan.
The third trick is combining the first two: the creditor tells you, now that both time and the loan are subdivided, you’re going to owe him a given amount of interest for each part of the loan and for each time unit that part is on loan to you.
