Banking has nothing to do with capitalism, and hasn't since 1913. The Federal Reserve was set up to free both the government and banks from the constraints of honest money (i.e. money backed by precious metals). One Depression era "reform" was deposit insurance, which put the government on the hook for bank's deposit liabilities. In 1984 Continental Illinois Bank would have failed and perhaps caused an international financial crisis. Too Big Too Fail (TBTF) was born. TBTF reached its zenith in the last financial crisis, where all of the nation's largest banks, and several large international banks, received over $1 trillion in government "investments" and loan guarantees. I'm a devout capitalist and would never impugn domestic or international bankers, if they had anything to do with capitalism. As currently constituted, they do not. They've set up a wonderful (for them) game of heads we win, tails the world's taxpayers lose. That's not the Socialist Worker Weekly; that's what banking as now practiced actually is.

But how much of what these international bankers do is actually free market and how much of it is really just corporatism at it's worst? Fiat currency, fractional reserve lending, and central banking are not compatible with a free market. These are instruments of both the state and their cronies to usurp the power and wealth away from the people and into own their palms and pockets. YouTube "Money As Debt"
