You weren’t careless. You were conditioned. Why Debt is Modern Slavery dismantles the polite fiction of financial freedom and exposes the profit-driven reality beneath it. This book doesn’t offer budgeting tips or debt payoff hacks. It offers something more dangerous: clarity.

Modern debt isn’t a flaw in the system. It’s the design. From student loans branded as investments to homeownership rebranded as freedom, every financial decision is preloaded with control mechanisms. You’re not choosing—you’re complying. Your credit score doesn’t measure your intelligence or worth. It measures your usefulness to lenders.

Written in a dry, sardonic tone that pulls no punches, this book unpacks how personal sacrifice became economic fuel. Why you glorify overwork. Why you confuse exhaustion with virtue. Why owning a house feels like success, even when the bank owns most of it. Through 30 concise, unflinching chapters, it reveals how your morals, ambitions, and sense of identity were engineered for compliance—and monetized at scale.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck while doing everything “right,” this is your answer. If you've started to question who really benefits from your struggle, this is your confirmation. And if you're ready to stop measuring your life in payment cycles and start reclaiming your agency, this is your manual.

You don’t need more discipline. You need less obedience.
You owe them nothing. You owe yourself everything.
