Surely the point is that in the modern world, the one we now live in, not the one we used to have hundreds of years ago, we need the bankers and the money men to be able to do anything.
Without money, mortgages, loans, currency etc. we cannot live, buy food, receive medical help or anything - take holidays, buy a car, have a drink at the local or dine out - or at home.
We do not live on a deserted island, we live in a global market, where money is needed to do anything, if we start to kill off those who make the modern world work, we will end up back in the dark, or middle ages.

Exactly the point I made in #73, Roger.

Yes I appreciate that Peter, I just felt I had to make my point (even though it echoed yours).

Anyone who thinks the world can skip along very nicely without financial markets should take a short holiday in Pyongyang, the only country in the world which does. Even Cuba and Albania have emerged from such splendid isolation in recent years.
