L’économie trafiquante, paradigme de la mondialisation. Dater — symboliquement — le coup d’envoi de la mondialisation économique et financière au 15 août 1971 n’est pas seulement un exercice de style. Le Président américain Richard Nixon n’avait certes pas conscience, ni personne d’autre à l’époque, des conséquences et des développements qu’entraînerait sa décision de suspendre la convertibilité du dollar en or. Il n’empêche que cette initiative a fait exploser l’ordre politique et juridique international d’après-guerre, qui reposait sur le contrôle des économies par l’encadrement des monnaies et de la finance. Cet ordre nécessitait l’intervention des États comme régulateurs économiques, sociaux et financiers, dans le cadre d’une coopération internationale destinée à préserver les équilibres mondiaux.

Le Groupe des 20 (ou G20), qui se réunit le 2 avril prochain à Londres, cherche à faire croire à l’opinion publique qu’il est sur le point d’assainir la finance internationale et que les paradis fiscaux vivent leurs derniers jours. En fait, les grandes puissances ne s’attaquent qu’aux petits fraudeurs du fisc, mais surtout pas aux magouilles des multinationales. Depuis quelques semaines, les médias du monde entier font leurs gros titres sur la mort des paradis fiscaux. Sous la pression des Américains, des Français et des Allemands, la Suisse, l’Autriche, le Luxembourg, l’Andorre ont promis de collaborer.

Scandaleux : l'impôt des groupes privés du CAC 40 n'est que de 3,3% ! Aid in reverse: How poor countries develop rich countries | /The Rules. The idea of international development aid lies at the heart of a tremendously successful PR campaign. The narrative we have been sold claims that aid has been effective at reducing global poverty. Here I will argue that there are three problems with this narrative. First, poverty is not disappearing, despite what we have been told to believe. Second, aid disbursements from rich countries to poor countries are dwarfed by wealth flows that run in the other direction, to the point where poor countries are effectively developing rich countries.
Third, and perhaps most critically, aid is not actually designed to reduce poverty, but operates as a tool that the elites of rich countries leverage to extract wealth, resources, and political compliance. It was 1996, at a summit in Rome, when governments first pledged to use aid to halve the number of the world’s poor by 2015. After the UN General Assembly adopted MDG-1, the goal was diluted two more times. Who is developing whom?

The 147 Companies That Control Everything. Seedindustry.jpg (Image JPEG, 4771 × 3154 pixels) - Redimensionnée (25%) Planet Earth: A Corporate World. The capitalist network that runs the world - physics-math - 19 October 2011. AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy. The study's assumptions have attracted some criticism, but complex systems analysts contacted by New Scientist say it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy.
Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable. The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). "Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James Glattfelder. The Zurich team can. So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. 1. (Data: PLoS One) [1107.5728] The network of global corporate control. The Network of Global Corporate Control. Abstract The structure of the control network of transnational corporations affects global market competition and financial stability.
So far, only small national samples were studied and there was no appropriate methodology to assess control globally. We present the first investigation of the architecture of the international ownership network, along with the computation of the control held by each global player. We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.
This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy makers.

Psychopaths in Power and the Imminent Collapse of Global Society (It's all your fault!) I can't really comment in any informed way on societies in the East, except to point to the Chinese slave workers who produce mountains of plastic crap for Western nations to use and then dump in the ground and oceans; the Middle East's role as a bombing target, 'terrorist' recruiting ground and civil war factory for Western warmongers, and South East Asia and Africa as a block of new 'nations' born out of the 'white man's burden' to civilize their people via brutal colonization and then grant them 'independence' in the form of never-ending debt to Western banks.
In the West, on the other hand, where I live, I can say with confidence that our modern society, its political and social conventions, customs and morality, has passed its expiry date and is well and truly moribund. Leading the cast in this tragicomedy (heavy on the tragi) we find our psychopathic leaders and their media whores trying extra hard to convince us that everything is just fine. Consider that: Domestic drones. See? The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand. INTRODUCTION. Manorialism, commonly, is recognized to have been founded by robbery and usurpation; a ruling class established itself by force, and then compelled the peasantry to work for the profit of their lords. But no system of exploitation,including capitalism, has ever been created by the action of a free market. Capitalism was founded on an act of robbery as massive as feudalism.
It has been sustained to the present by continual state intervention to protect its system of privilege, without which its survival is unimaginable. The current structure of capital ownership and organization of production in our so-called "market" economy, reflects coercive state intervention prior to and extraneous to the market. Most such intervention is tacitly assumed by mainstream right-libertarians as part of a "market" system. But genuine markets have a value for the libertarian left, and we shouldn't concede the term to our enemies. THE SUBSIDY OF HISTORY. J. CounterSpill.

Entretien avec Philippe Frémeaux, directeur d’Alternatives Economiques (extrait d’une chronique de France Musique). Warren Buffet, deuxième fortune mondiale, vient de décider, de donner 85 % de sa fortune, à des fondations caritatives, et notamment à la fondation Bill et Melinda Gates, qui finance la recherche médicale et la délivrance de médicaments au profit des populations du tiers monde. Comment analyser ce renouveau de la charité privée ? Warren Buffet, fondateur de la société d’investissements Bershire Hataway, partage avec Bill Gates, le fondateur de Microsoft, la conviction qu’il est légitime, pour un individu, d’accumuler une immense fortune si celle-ci provient de sa contribution à la création de richesses.

Pour les articles homonymes, voir SA. Une société anonyme (SA) est une société de capitaux, ainsi dénommée car sa dénomination sociale ne révèle pas le nom des actionnaires dont elle peut même ignorer l’identité lorsque les titres de la société sont au porteur.

In international law, odious debt, also known as illegitimate debt, is a legal theory that holds that the national debt incurred by a regime for purposes that do not serve the best interests of the nation, should not be enforceable. Such debts are, thus, considered by this doctrine to be personal debts of the regime that incurred them and not debts of the state. In some respects, the concept is analogous to the invalidity of contracts signed under coercion. Origin[edit] The doctrine was formalized in a 1927 treatise by Alexander Nahum Sack,[1] a Russian émigré legal theorist, based upon 19th-century precedents including Mexico's repudiation of debts incurred by Emperor Maximilian's regime, and the denial by the United States of Cuban liability for debts incurred by the Spanish colonial regime.
According to Sack: Reception[edit] A recent article by economists Seema Jayachandran and Michael Kremer has renewed interest in this topic. Application[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Destructive World Bank projects around the world.
Category:Ethically disputed business practices. None of the world’s top industries would be profitable if they paid for the natural capital they use. The notion of “externalities” has become familiar in environmental circles. It refers to costs imposed by businesses that are not paid for by those businesses. For instance, industrial processes can put pollutants in the air that increase public health costs, but the public, not the polluting businesses, picks up the tab. In this way, businesses privatize profits and publicize costs. While the notion is incredibly useful, especially in folding ecological concerns into economics, I’ve always had my reservations about it.
Environmentalists these days love speaking in the language of economics — it makes them sound Serious — but I worry that wrapping this notion in a bloodless technical term tends to have a narcotizing effect. It brings to mind incrementalism: boost a few taxes here, tighten a regulation there, and the industrial juggernaut can keep right on chugging. It’s a huge task; obviously, doing it required a specific methodology that built in a series of assumptions. Corporatism Is Not Capitalism: 7 Things About The Monolithic Predator Corporations That Dominate Our Economy That Every American Should Know.
Right now, there is a lot of talk about the evils of “capitalism”. But it is not really accurate to say that we live in a capitalist system. Rather, what we have in the United States today, and what most of the world is living under, is much more accurately described as “corporatism”. Under corporatism, most wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of giant corporations and big government is used as a tool by these corporations to consolidate wealth and power even further. In a corporatist system, the wealth and power of individuals and small businesses is dwarfed by the overwhelming dominance of the corporations.
The following is the definition of “corporatism” from the Merriam-Webster dictionary…. the organization of a society into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and exercising control over persons and activities within their jurisdiction Corporatism is actually not too different from socialism or communism.
