For Zerzan the “Golden Age” is no myth. Not only did it once exist, it is once more attainable, at least to those willing to take the long trip back—neither to the revolutionary era mourned by the Left, nor to the conservative’s beloved 17th century, nor even to the feudal regimes increasingly favored by post-structuralist academia.

“A ball of hot money rolls around the world. It seeks anonymity and political refuge; it dodges taxes and sidesteps currency controls; it rolls through shell companies and numbered accounts, phony charities and religious foundations. And it is kept rolling by misguided policymakers and white-collar criminals, by gun-runners and drug dealers, by superpower secret-service agents and Third World political elites preparing for retirement. And as the ball of hot money grows, so too does the international debt crisis, for hot money and international debt are two sides of the same devalued coin.”
