Once upon a time there was a huge bank that financed a revolution in a small country, then put a puppet oligarch in charge. The huge bank then gave a couple of billion dollars to the small country in what was called a "bailout loan."
The Oligarch took the money on the condition that a large portion of that money was spent on multinational conglomerates that were favored by the huge bank. The oligarch pocketed the difference and funneled the money into the pockets of the friends of the huge bank who coincidentally had accounts at the huge bank.
The Interest due on the loan came out of the pockets of the citizens and they were foreclosed on by the huge bank because they couldn't afford the interest. The huge bank now owned most of the land.
The End
