Take out the banks and the whole thing comes tumbling down like a house of cards, because nobody's going to be working anymore without getting paid, and each and every corporation is indebted to the banks — that's how the banks make their fortune in the first place. And if there's a war, then the banks are sponsoring both sides of the battlefield — it's called hedging. That way, whoever wins the war, the bank always wins.
