Must be a different economy ffrom ours. Most of our businesses finance a
large part of their operations from bank finance, not their own capital. Which
is the situation which led Douglas to claim, I believe, that capitalism had died
at the turn of the 20th. century and been replaced by "creditism". (I can't give
