The world economy is doomed to spiral downwards until we do 2 things: outlaw government borrowing; 2. outlaw fractional reserve lending. Banks should only be allowed to lend out money they actually have and nations do not have to run up a "National Debt". Remember: It's not what backs the money, it's who controls its quantity.

Manufactured Landscapes. (español)

La cineasta canadiense Jennifer Baichwal siguió durante tres semanas al fotógrafo Edward Burtynski por China y Bangladesh. En su viaje, observaron algunos de los peores casos de destrucción del medio ambiente: extensos campos de carbón, ríos ennegrecidos por los desechos contaminantes de las fábricas, enormes basurales. "Esto es algo muy complicado y no existe una solución fácil. Lo importante es ser consciente de lo que está sucediendo"

Jeff Madrick: Age of Greed, Triumph of Finance, Decline of America

A lecture and book signing by noted economist Jeff Madrick "Greed will always be with us," he writes, "but it rises and falls with the times." In Age of Greed: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, Madrick brings a narrative history of how greed bred America's economic ills over the past forty years—and in so doing tells us how we got to the crisis of 2008 and to the perilous situation we now face. He talks about the impact of the 1970s—a decade of punishingly high inflation and unemployment.. . . . Madrick addresses how tax and economic policies contributed to the nation's ills. A 50-year-old, free-market economic theory was resurrected to justify weakening or eliminating government regulation and social programs. Businesses organized aggressive, well-financed lobbying efforts to support such views. The single-minded pursuit and justification of self-interest has risen to levels of increasing destructiveness. Age of Greed is a history of this era, told through the lives of the individuals most responsible for it. . . . .Jeff Madrick is a professor of economics at Cooper Union, contributor to The New York Review of Books and former economics columnist at the New York Times.
