Milton Friedman Monetarism, Infrastructure Decay in Toronto

The adoption of monetarism, influenced by Milton Friedman and the University of Chicago, led to the abandonment of zero-cost government money in favor of private bank credit. This policy shift is cited as the primary reason for the decay of public infrastructure, such as 100-year-old water mains and bridges in cities like Toronto. Hellyer characterizes the current system as "grand larceny" where bankers set rules that siphon off tax revenue for interest payments.
