Bring back something like Bretton Woods. When it ended in the 70s and the dollar was no longer tethered to anything physical, is when the financial system started eating up more and more of the economy. Using the financial system as the middleman for money creation (as opposed to e.g. directly depositing helicopter money into people's accounts, or having a non-inflationary currency) necessarily entailed a continuous transfer of wealth from main street to wall street.
Haha, Bretton Woods wasn't magical. The dollar had long been unmoored in practice, that's why the Bretton Woods agreement collapsed.
So if you see any trends that only show up after Bretton Woods was _formally_ abandoned, then those trends can't have been kicked off by the unmooring.
