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

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.

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.
