It is easier now we have Monopoly money - one hand tremble on a key board adds a few noughts. That wasn't posible with £sd.
We also got cheated when they began to use percentages for pay rises. I recall when rises were announced in £sd. Percentage rises gives bigger increases to those who already have most.
World finance is a big Monopoly game - there are limits to how much governments dare to screw the population, because revolution is no longer a rare event. Those with most will lose most, and those with nothing have nothing to lose
