What happens when money is created from promises,
risk is wrapped in respectable paperwork,
and responsibility quietly leaves by another door?

Cormorant has seen credit become product,
product become security, security become insurance;
and insurance become a pipe leading directly to the PUBLIC PURSE.

Who is it for?

For readers who are curious about commerce.
For citizens puzzled by economics.
For those who want history without hostility.
For anyone asking how to understand buying without losing humility, humour, or hope.

Satire with a serious edge.
Economics without the lecture hall.
Social Critique that arrives carrying a small bucket of fish.

Because some fences do not look like fences.
Some cages are built from convenience.
Some monopolies wear several labels.
And some markets remain open long after choice has left the building.

Society, Systems, Seriously Reformed.

Do we really know that which we know?
