The fact that the modern day economy is based on usury (aka interest) seems not to be brought up by either the left or right, even though eliminating it would provide huge value for everyone (except the few at the top). It's a form of slavery, but it does the job for those at the top of the hierarchy, so it remains the way it is. That, coupled with a backward and extremely intrusive tax system which also benefits the same group of people, and you see why there's vested interest in keeping the status quo. This combination forms the basis for the fragility of the present day economic system.
