How is the term "financial violence" any worse about that than, e.g., "structural violence"?
- mrcrumb1 4y agoStructural violence arguably causes death and bodily injury at a large scale. Surely you can see the difference there.
- pseudo0 4y agoFinancial crimes absolutely can cause death and bodily injury on a large scale. Madoff's ponzi scheme caused multiple suicides, for example, including Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet, and Charles Murphy. Then there are the thousands of people who suddenly could not afford healthcare, or lost their home.
