  You mean leverage/borrowing? Pretty time tested mechanism of risk taking in free markets.

    Moving money from one pile to another so that you can skim a little off the top is imaginary work and is slowly destroying the west

      That’s not what’s slowly destroying the west but I understand that I must keep my remarks on this Marxist-friendly website very tame.

      It's always gone on, and probably always will on some level. It's only when it becomes the primary concern that capitalism eats itself.
