Reading and loving this collection of short stories. “Money as a weapons system” is about midway through the book; early in the story comes this line:

“It wasn’t my idea,” said Bob, “We remade the Ministry of Agriculture on free market principles, but the invisible hand of the market started planting IEDs.”

Catch-22 laugh-out-loud funny for the rest of the story. World class critique of institutions and how they move forward with no understanding of context or impact.
