The Financial System Limit: The world's real debt burden"Neither Keynes nor his disciples foresaw the eventual creation of unaffordable debt nearly a century later." "One of the most fascinating books I've ever read" - Reviewer View figure 1 Paying more to the banking system and figure 7 The long fall in LIBORUS edition (Pathway Book Service) Can the world really continue to stimulate its way out of every downturn? What happens to debt as central banks and governments buy prosperity? In The Financial System Limit, the author puts forward three radical theories which show that Keynesian economics can no longer benefit society. He explains why debt cannot expand to infinity; then how debt interest is a cost to us all. The global economic cycle is now determined by central bank policies. David Kauders FRSA is a British investment manager who has been concerned about the hidden social costs of easy money. This is his third book. Read The Financial System Limit to understand why banks keep failing and learn why financial and economic policies have to change. You will discover why debt reduction programs do not work and what will follow the recent inflation. Instead of reacting to the news stories of the day, join the challenge to the economic consensus by reading The Financial System Limit. The UK print edition includes a postscript about Brexit and debt levels. “Radical thinkers might have a point” was how the Financial Times described David Kauders’ first book The Greatest Crash: How contradictory policies are sinking the global economy. This new book offers further original thought. As some e-readers do not display large diagrams effectively, Figure 1 and Figure 7 are available to view.

I am recommending this book, and will, It is a must in one's library and to be transmitted to next generations." - Flo Jacquet, Teacher, France * * * "The author provides a historical view of how we reached the point where the level of global debt is unsustainable and now compounded by a global pandemic. The book is understandable by those without a deep financial background. "Kauders, who has decades of experience as an investment manager makes the case for the difficult situation we, as global citizens, are confronted with." - Librarything reviewer * * * "A very good book about the financial system. How debt works. How debt works and has worked for and against various countries at various times. Highly recommended!" - Hal Perlman, USA * * * "The book pleas to measure interest cost on total debt in relation to economic output. A deep recession and consequential financial upset were inevitable in a world that could not resolve the conflict between stimulus and austerity, a world that remained addicted to debt, a world that refused to admit the limit to the growth of debt caused by the cost of servicing it. That's what David Kauders wants to highlight." - Henk van der Klis, Netherlands * * * "Credit to Kauders for sharing his observations, experience and proposing solutions." - Librarything reviewer * * * "This book by David Kauders provides some unique and interesting insights on macroeconomics and money in general. The topic of debt is such a complex and loaded topic but Kauders approaches it in an easy to understand manner (you don't have to have an economics background). This book is a not a light read or an easy read but its worth the read." - Reviewer, Canada* * * "The book starts with a “Definitions and Explanations” section, which is helpful in clarifying some terms and concepts... "One of the author's main points seems to be that credit can not be created forever, because there reaches a point at which the debt level of a society makes repayment of the debt impossible. Kauders discusses this and other ideas, including the economic strategies of governments to deal with the pandemic, the true cost of debt, and economic cycles cause by central banking policies. His ideas about modern monetary theory and pensions are interesting." - Review posted on amazon.com Table of contentsPart one: Three radical thoughts 1 The financial system limit 2 Debt interest is a cost to society 3 The central banking economic cycle Part two: Academic theory and case studies 4 Academic theory 5 Two case studies of the financial system limit 6 Pensions Part three: How can the world escape its debt problem? 7 Existing ideas 8 Tackling the cost of interest to society Part four: The pandemic and the financial system limit 9 Impact of the pandemic 10 Deflation Postscript: Britain's real debt problem The postscript is only published in the UK print edition 9781907230790 Other books by David Kauders The Greatest Crash: How contradictory policies are sinking the global economy Understanding Brexit Options: What future for Britain?
