In response John Christensen's "Dirty money flows distort our economy and corrupt democracy".

It seems to me that what John Christensen is exposing is the "ugly heart" that goes with the "ugly face" of capitalism.

The problem, and the reason why no one has the nerve to recognise, instead of compulsively rationalizing it, is that we are ALL totally dependent on it continuing to pump blood (money) through the veins of our socio-economic order.

We have socio-economic heart disease, but no notion of how to cure it because our understanding of socio-economic anatomy is still Galenic.

Only when we understand the true function of the heart, its physiology, and what drives it, will there be any prospect of a cure.

Allow me to introduce myself: William Harvey, at your service.

I'm afraid I can only offer you my disorganized and incomplete notes at the moment, but if I wait until my book is ready for publication, it may be too late to save the patient.
