Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Just to be clear, I have no objection to the form of banking/"credit intermediation" that you describe and aim to practise, since I see that as "service provision".

The credit intermediation I see as unsustainable mathematically - and I am not commenting on any moral issues - is the Basel I/II style creation of interest-bearing credit.

I am talking about banking reinventing itself as service provision, and I do not see that as inconsistent with your description of your profession of banking.

Well, to the outside observer, you often seem to be in violent agreement.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
