« C’est la première fois qu’une entreprise française est mise en examen et va être jugée pour “financement d’entreprise terroriste”… L’enjeu de ce procès n’est pas d’évaluer à quel point le capitalisme n’en a rien à foutre de rien, ou si les “valeurs” autoproclamées des grandes entreprises se résument en fait à un seul mot qui est “profit”, ou même si celles-ci peuvent s’accommoder des projets politiques les plus atroces : ça, on le sait depuis Krupp et Thyssen, ou même depuis la Compagnie des Indes.

Ottawa, February 2022. Canadian banks freeze the accounts of protest donors without a court order, and people learn at store counters that their cards have stopped working. Four years later, in January 2026, Canada's Federal Court of Appeal rules the emergency invocation behind those freezes unreasonable and beyond the law. Between those two dates sits the question this book exists to answer: what is money worth if someone else decides when it works?

For years, the "Mark of the Beast" has been relegated to the realm of fringe theory—a bogeyman for the superstitious, a metaphor for moral decay, or a plot point in low-budget cinema. But as I cross-referenced the functional requirements of a global, cashless economy with the specific constraints outlined in Revelation 13, the skepticism I had carefully cultivated began to erode. I realized that we have been looking for a villain—a singular, dark figure to appear on the world stage—when we should have been looking for an infrastructure. The "Beast" is not a man. It is a system.

In Private Power and Democracy's Decline, Mordecai Kurz explores the relationship between free-market capitalism and democracy. He shows that technology has made capitalism different from what was envisioned in the Age of Enlightenment. Technology creates centers of market power and monopoly concentration that result in a society in which some people are enriched immensely while many workers' livelihoods are often destroyed.

From its inception, liberalism offered a glittering promise of shared prosperity, equality, democratic values and the free pursuit of knowledge. At first, it flourished. And then it faltered. Once a tantalising beacon of hope, it began to erode and decay at the hands of elitism, intolerance and...
