Our money system is a toxic left-over from a time when theft on a grand scale was glorified. Today, we need to move on from a system that allows and encourages the worst in us (and among us) to prosper. We accept that the system enhances inequality, drives climate change, degrades our planet, and promotes war and conflict. But why do we accept this manifestly undemocratic money system, which serves only to concentrate power and wealth in the hands of organisations and individuals that do not have our collective interests at heart? Researcher and writer Ivo Mosley set out to uncover and tell the story of how money-creation works. This book is a remarkably clear and comprehensive examination of a system that supports unaccountable and destructive power. It also points the way to the simple reforms that are necessary if we wish to create a more just and equitable world.

Born in 1951, Ivo Mosley is married with 4 children and 4.5 grandchildren. He has a degree in Japanese from Oxford University and an MA in Musical Theatre from Goldsmiths College. He lived for 25 years in Devon before moving to London. After a versatile career writing books and articles on current affairs, philosophy, poetry and politics (and five pieces of musical theatre) he began to write about the crisis affecting our world today. His first book on this subject concerned the dubious nature of democracy. In the Name of the People pointed out a fact long evident to political philosophers: that voting for representatives named by powerful political parties is not 'rule by the people'. He then turned to the money system which underpins our current crisis. In Bank Robbery, the result of seven years' work, he exposes the unassailable powers that rule (and are destroying) our world today.
