That's obvious bullshit, given that most modern businesses provide actual value to people.
Like an airline: people can hop on planes and go to places, to do business or meet people.
You can't do that with an ATM. ATMs don't fly.

And what is stopping people from creating businesses that don't do that?
It sounds much like a conspiracy theory to me. The mysterious world of finance that everybody just know to be evil.
I don't doubt that shady things happen. But there has to be a better explanation than "evil businessmen extract value". And how is it "extracting", when people get actual services in return? If I buy an apple at a supermarket, has the supermarket extracted money from me?
