• El dinero se crea a través de la deuda bancaria. Cuando solicitas una hipoteca a través de un banco, te dan 100.000 dólares para comprar una casa y básicamente te envían al mundo para que devuelvas 200.000 dólares en los próximos veinte años. Los primeros 100.000 dólares son el principal y los segundos son los intereses.

• When the banks create the money, they don't create the interest. They send you into the world to compete with everybody else to get the second $100,000 that never was created and bring it back to them. So if we're in a world with zero-growth population, goods, services, and money, the problem would be obvious.

• Básicamente, para que cualquier complejo sea sostenible necesita un equilibrio entre dos factores: resistencia y eficiencia. Estos dos factores pueden calcularse a partir de la estructura de la red que interviene en un sistema complejo. Un sistema resistente y eficiente necesita ser diverso y estar interconectado. Por otro lado, la diversidad y la interconectividad disminuyen la eficiencia. Por tanto, la clave está en un equilibrio adecuado entre eficiencia y resistencia.

• Our [American] money system is structurally brittle. It doesn't matter if you put a very clever guy or a stupid guy at the wheel. The clever guy will take a half hour to have an accident, and the stupid guy will take ten minutes.

• Mira en cualquier institución financiera, en cualquier banco. Son todas fotocopias unas de otras. No hay diversidad de instituciones y aún menos diversidad de moneda. Por lo tanto, igual que dices que es muy lógico que un ecosistema así se colapse, es muy previsible que un sistema monetario así también se colapse. Y no ha terminado de colapsar, por cierto.
