Thanks, Nish.

Yeah, it is a bit, really, because actually quite a few others predicted it as well.

But I must say, I'm one of the few women that did.

You know, I'd written a book called The Coming First World Debt Crisis.

And I tell you, it felt like a lead balloon.

I mean, that was a book that didn't sell.

And everybody just said, oh, she's that old lefty.

Don't take any notice of her.

But then amazingly, after the crisis broke, people began to say, oh, that little woman.

So that's been quite nice.

So I wanted to...

make people aware of something economists call the international financial and monetary system.

And I want ordinary people, when I say ordinary people, I mean me and you, to understand that this is like a sort of construction.

This is a construction.

It's a kind of architecture.

And I envisage it as a casino because actually there's so much gambling that goes on in there.

But what I want to show people is that this is like a giant casino.

And inside the casino are little booths.

And these are countries.

This is Britain.
