Our history books are carefully censored to avoid any mention of the predatory aspects of capitalism that was founded on slavery and the theft of indigenous lands and later of overseas colonies. The Enclosure Acts in England and Scotland forced farmers off their lands and made them criminals overnight.

Presidents Washington and Jefferson profited from massacring the indigenous people and then selling their lands for profit to new immigrants. Ending this practice with the Proclamation of 1763 was a key factor in the elites deciding to rebel against the king.
Few people realize that the wealth of Great Britain was stolen from the people of India. More than 75% of the GDP of the UK was stolen from India and after the people gained their freedom in 1948 the GDP of the UK quickly plummeted.
Prior to the enactment of Glass-Steagal there was a recession or market crash every 3 years on average. The stability of this control over the financial sector ended with Clinton in 1999 (one of his many stupid moves) and we have seen the disasterour results first hand.
