Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy by Michael Hudson
Introduction
In Killing the Host, Michael Hudson argues that the global economy has been hijacked by a powerful financial sector that he likens to a parasite. He contends that this sector—primarily banking, insurance, and real estate (the "FIRE" sector)—extracts wealth from the productive, industrial economy through debt, rent, and fees, rather than by creating new wealth. The book challenges the idea that finance is a beneficial part of the economy, instead portraying it as a force that leads to rising inequality, economic stagnation, and political corruption. Hudson's central thesis is that the financial sector's overgrowth and political power are actively "killing the host" that sustains it.
