Good stuff! I look forward to reading part II, etc.
There is an even more generalized view of the parasitic condition: top politicians and banks get together and use state power to artificially inflate the values of financial assets (which include almost everything, even stocks and real estate in an indirect fashion, via interest rate policy.) The state contributes power, and the bankers contribute brains. The state rewards banks mainly by using public money to guarantee their debt, etc. The banks reward the state by helping to prop up money and public debt (by increasing demand for them.)
(As alluded just above, financial asset inflation benefits the elites not only because they issue some of the assets, but also by creating demand for other assets issued by the elites. E.g. when interest bearing bank deposits are "safe guarded" by state power, you are less likely to go to gold and more likely to hold paper money which you give to banks.)
Fractional reserve banking deposits are one of the assets being propped up. The general phenomenon has been around since the early 1600s (when the Bank of Amsterdam began to issue Europe's first paper money); Fractional reserve banking started somewhere near the end of the classical international gold standard, probably late-19th or early-20th century.
What this means is that, we, the public in democratic countries, are a crucial part of the problem, by allowing our elected politicians not only to allow the theft, but actively to form an alliance with banks to perpetrate it, by establishing the central bank, whose real purpose is to ensure the survival of the state-bank alliance by holding each party to its bargain.
