    I think your boogeyman, “the owning class,” is very similar to my boogeyman, “the borrower class.” Both are critiques of groups that benefit from particular economic structures. Although we think about economics in totally different ways, there is an interesting parallel between the two ideas.

    I’m probably a handmaiden to the fascist class in your eyes, while I think you’re economically illiterate.

    My borrower class - Refers to those who gain privileged access to newly created credit or monetary expansion.

    Your owning class - Usually refers to capital owners (bourgeoisie) who own productive assets & employ labor.
