While most have had an idea that banks run the world with their financial influence, previously it was just that....an idea. Fortunately advances in science and technology have allowed the Swiss to map this capitalist network. This study is not new, but relevant just the same. I hadn't seen it reported on enough when it was released so I wanted to post it again in case anyone missed it.

After you read the article ask yourself, Is democracy even relevant today? With an obvious monopoly influencing policy how powerful are governments in advancing the interests of the people?
