That's an argument to end central banking, and I agree. The federal reserve needs to go away too. But what I'm talking about is different. Saudi Arabia agreed to sell oil internationally, exclusively using the dollar as currency. This is why China is pressing their currency to be the defacto standard to price and sell oil. Sure the financial sector benefits, but so do us all when our dollar is strong.

What a lot of this might suggest is that the entire economic and financial ideas you speak of are a facade, some big lie or show and maybe it's difficult to see beyond these things.
