Naming UsuriesTyranny

Naming Usuries Tyranny is a hybrid work—poetry, pamphlet, satire, elegy, and civic brief—written as a witness statement against a world where shelter, time, and dignity are priced through debt. Moving between imagined introductions (including a Ruskin-like foreword) and a "e;sourced essay in fourteen movements after Cicero,"e; the collection argues that recurring crises in housing affordability, inequality, and political legitimacy cannot be separated from the architecture of money creation, credit allocation, and tax design.At its center is a sustained refusal of "e;neutral"e; technocratic language. The poems and orations return again and again to the laundering of harm into respectability—prudence, independence, stability—and to the way private credit-money inflates assets, disciplines labour, and turns homes into leveraged collateral. The Bank for International Settlements appears not as a cartoon villain but as a symbolic node: a coordinating temple of central-banking consensus and Basel-style standards that shape incentives, constrain democratic choice, and protect balance sheets faster than households.Formally, the book ranges widely: riddles that "e;name the hidden power,"e; prophetic Blakean sequences ("e;The Conquest of Dough"e;), Odyssean rewrites of blame-shifting and institutional evasion, and intimate memorial pieces that insist white-collar harm is not bloodless—only slow, dispersed, and easy to deny. The work closes toward reconstruction: money and payments as public utility, credit guided toward productive and social ends, taxes shifted toward land/location value, and housing treated as infrastructure rather than a speculative game.
