The Exigent Duality

Yes, I know people have been getting fleeced by money changers since the time of Christ, today in the form of central banking. I'm also well aware that Gen X'ers in Wall Street defrauded millions of people in the lead-up to the financial crisis. Those points aren't lost on me.

But holy baloney, what I get out of this is that people today spend thirteen years in conventional schools, yet aren't even taught the most basic financial concepts, like interest rates or how loans work. Even though there are immoral people in the world, most of the article's bullets are self-inflicted, like signing up for eight year car loans, or putting thirty grand on an 18% interest rate credit card.
