There's still money to be made everywhere. It's just hard to compete in the markets against the entrenched giants that have been around since the 1800's. I feel there's more a shift towards making money "entertaining" than there is to made through the standard business model.
At what point in history do you think it has been easier to compete against giants?
Since the money is literally created out of thin air by your rulers, you will never be able to beat them at their own game, or even have half a chance of a fair fight.
Everybody around you worships until death this money that is created by the rulers, even though they can see with their own eyes that it's made of worthless paper. So strong is the spell.
