JW Mason — Boulding on Interest
That's Kenneth Boulding.
The Slack Wire Boulding on Interest
JW Mason | Assistant Professor of Economics at Roosevelt University
Here's the correct link: http://slackwire.blogspot.com/2014/07/boulding-on-interest.html
My favorite passage from the link:
"The main purpose of the financial system is to separate "ownership" from "control," or administration, that is, to enable some people to own assets which they do not control, and others to control assets which they do not own. This arrangement is necessitated because there is very little, in the processes by which ownership was historically determined through inheritance and saving, to insure that those who own the resources of society are … capable of administering them."
Link bad.

Somewhat OT, the article also includes a link to a 30 page essay on Minsky:
