The Money Illusion | How We Came to Believe in a System That Was Never What It Seemed | Full Text

Modern life feels harder for a reason. The Money Illusion exposes how today’s financial system quietly changed – how banks create money through lending, how credit reshapes ownership, and why wages can’t keep up with rising costs. As the book explains, “created purchasing power became real title over real things,” leaving ordinary people struggling under rules they never knew had changed.

If you’ve wondered why housing is unaffordable, why services keep declining, or why you feel like you’re falling behind despite doing everything right, this book connects the dots. It reveals how debt, extraction and unequal access to credit shape the world we live in – and why the system was never neutral.
