Snippets: Finance is unique

From mine of 3 January:
The growth of finance is not endlessly sustainable, because it creates a gradually growing cost problem for those who pay the cost that is income to finance.

On the one hand the increasing cost of finance, and on the other declining income growth in the non-financial sector: Together they work like a vise, squeezing the sector that is the source of income to finance.

The irony is that finance itself is the source of the cost problem ...
