Aftershock was a great book (actually that just translates to my total agreement ;-)
But I don't think the conclusions in Part III 'The Bargain Restored' go far enough into the root of the problem. The fundamental imbalance in the monetary system cannot be fixed thru tax codes, but we should instead consider putting a small holding fee on money to limit its use as a speculative instrument & enhance the economic value of increasing the velocity of the currency. I'm going to list 2 web sites.
@vjillh haven't gotten that far with this, and I did the love the series with Chalmers Johnson..getting there with the viewing though... controlled society is not working for the average person anymore..too many leaches in the mix..
Very insightful as always.

bnote.org talks about why demurrage currency rather than tax code changes is a better solution for the financial inequality we now face.
