ΒΟΜΒΕΣ από Κίνα και Ινδία στην Παγκόσμια Οικονομία..! Posted: November 26, 2013 at 11:30 pm Σήμερα (22/11/13) ήταν μια εξαιρετικά σημαντική ημέρα για την παγκόσμια οικονομία… βεβαίως τέτοιου μεγέθους ειδήσεις περνάνε απαρατήρητες από τα δελτία των ελληνικών καναλιών, διότι εδώ πρωτεύον είναι η “κόντρα” του Τατσόπουλου με τον Μουλόπουλο ! 1. Σήμερα λοιπόν η κεντρική τράπεζα της Κίνας ανακοίνωσε επίσημα ότι από εδώ και στο εξής θα σταματήσει να αποταμιεύει σε δολάρια (όσα έχει σιγά-σιγά θα τα ξοδεύει για να συνεχίσει να αγοράζει χρυσό αλλά και σε άλλες παραγωγικές επενδύσεις, αλλά και στηρίζοντας το ευρώ αφού αυτό λόγω λιτότητας δεν πληθωρίζεται). 2. Πάρτον κάτω τον Μπαράκ… Το 2ο είναι η πιο σημαντική είδηση των τελευταίων πολλών ετών… και εδώ δεν μιλάμε ούτε για τον Σαντάμ ούτε για τον Καντάφι… εδώ μαγκιές δεν χωράνε. 3. Είναι γνωστό ότι η Ινδία καλύπτει το σύνολο σχεδόν των ενεργειακών της αναγκών αγοράζοντας πετρέλαιο από το Ιράν. Σχόλιο 1 : Μη περιμένεις ποτέ από τον Πρετεντέρη και τον Ευγγελάτο να αναλύουν τα παραπάνω….τους ξεπερνάει.
How Banks Create Money The money that banks create isn’t the paper money that bears the logo of the government-owned Bank of England. It’s the electronic deposit money that flashes up on the screen when you check your balance at an ATM. Right now, this money (bank deposits) makes up over 97% of all the money in the economy. Only 3% of money is still in that old-fashioned form of cash that you can touch. Banks can create money through the accounting they use when they make loans. In the video below Professor Dirk Bezemer at the University of Groningen and Michael Kumhof, an IMF Economist explain where money comes from in less than 2 minutes: Every new loan that a bank makes creates new money. “Commercial [i.e. high-street] banks create money, in the form of bank deposits, by making new loans. Sir Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England from 2003-2013, recently explained this point to a conference of businesspeople: Sir Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England 2003-2013 (Speech)
Icelandic Anger Brings Debt Forgiveness in Best Recovery Story Icelanders who pelted parliament with rocks in 2009 demanding their leaders and bankers answer for the country’s economic and financial collapse are reaping the benefits of their anger. Since the end of 2008, the island’s banks have forgiven loans equivalent to 13 percent of gross domestic product, easing the debt burdens of more than a quarter of the population, according to a report published this month by the Icelandic Financial Services Association. “You could safely say that Iceland holds the world record in household debt relief,” said Lars Christensen, chief emerging markets economist at Danske Bank A/S in Copenhagen. The island’s steps to resurrect itself since 2008, when its banks defaulted on $85 billion, are proving effective. The island’s households were helped by an agreement between the government and the banks, which are still partly controlled by the state, to forgive debt exceeding 110 percent of home values.

Ben Bernanke's Banksters Legacy Ben Bernanke's Banksters Legacy With Ben Shalom Bernanke set to depart on the last day of January 2014, the critique and speculation of his tenure as Chairman of the Federal Reserve begins. The mainstream financial press is giving mostly favorable accounts. Heretofore, such praiseworthy acclamations strike a shape contrast with the actual record of the state of the economy. However, the admirers of the Fed and his specific enactments live in a time warp that only masters of the universe encounter. Investopedia expresses a complimentary score of The Legacy Of Ben Bernanke, and cites distinguished highlights and concludes that "Under Bernanke’s stewardship, the Fed became the most transparent it has ever been in its history." Yet, they are compelled to mention that from 2008 onward, Bernanke and the Fed embarked on a series of unparalleled – and often unconventional – rescue programs and stimulus measures. Then there is the valid point made by Bill Sardi in LewRockwell.com.
Η παγκοσμιοποιημένη όψη της ανισότητας - NEWDEAL Πρόσφατα έπεσε στα χέρια μου μια εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρουσα μελέτη που έγινε τον Νοέμβριο του 2012 από την Παγκόσμια Τράπεζα για τη φτώχεια και την εισοδηματική ανισότητα, σε διεθνές επίπεδο. Τα συμπεράσματά της έχουν μεγάλη σημασία όχι μόνο για τη διατύπωση φιλοσοφικών-ηθικών ερωτημάτων, αλλά και για τον εντοπισμό σοβαρών διλημμάτων που ίσως αντιμετωπίσουν σύντομα οι πολιτικές εξουσίες. Εν ολίγοις, όπως προκύπτει από τα στοιχεία της μελέτης, μεγάλοι κερδισμένοι της παγκοσμιοποίησης σε απόλυτα μεγέθη είναι οι πλούσιοι αυτού του κόσμου. Το «1%» του πληθυσμού, είτε προέρχεται από τον ανεπτυγμένο κόσμο, είτε από τον αναπτυσσόμενο. Σημειώστε ότι σε αυτό το «1%» περιλαμβάνονται παγκοσμίως περίπου 60 εκατ. άνθρωποι, ανάμεσά τους και το 12% των Αμερικανών. Ακόμη και οι «φτωχοί» των αναδυόμενων οικονομιών της Ασίας, της Λατινικής Αμερικής, αλλά και κάποιων χωρών στην Αφρική είδαν το εισόδημά τους να αυξάνεται, σε ποσοστά από 40% έως 70%. Μόνη εξαίρεση, στον Τρίτο Κόσμο οι «απόλυτα πτωχοί».
Land and Money, the Siamese Twins | The New Economics Party Land and Money, the Siamese Twins When there are two separate movements each claiming that they have the solutions to the world’s economic problems, we have an intellectual challenge. Rational beings might conclude each group of reformers has a key part of the truth. The two groups I refer to are the monetary reform movement and the Georgist movement. The monetary reformers come in several varieties, but in common they believe the creation of money should be without interest and should be a public function. So what do Georgists want? Both arguments seem reasonable. Some, like me, find themselves in both camps. Within the monetary reform movement there are two main camps. Let’s reflect for a moment on the historical connections between land and money and go back to the Italian goldsmiths. Now Jews couldn’t lend to Jews at interest, Gentiles were forbidden from lending out money at interest. In Fiji Indians can’t own land. Now let us go back to the type of monetary reform Type B.
Vincent Browne Vs Troika: Video And Transcript Troika (EU, ECB & IMF) representatives, and Barbara Nolan, head of the European Commission representation in Ireland, held a press conference on the latest bailout review this afternoon.

Barbara Nolan, head of the European Commission representation in Ireland. Early in the conference, Istvan Szekely said: “I’m impressed by the depth of the discussion in Ireland and the understanding of complex, economic financial-sector issues, which is revealed by looking into the Irish place, looking into the discussion. Barbara Nolan: “Well, well, well, can we take a couple together? Nolan: “Right, can I ask you then to pass the mic, and we’ll come back to you for the second question?” Masuch: [silence]
The Nazis' British bankers - News Historians uncovering the story of the gold trade that financed the Nazi war machine would love to have sight of them - not because they will provide further evidence of Swiss guilt in the trade but because they could expose other countries involved, including Britain. In the saga of Nazi gold, it is always the Swiss who are to blame; the Swiss who were prepared to accept bullion looted from the victims of German oppression to the extent that the war was prolonged longer than necessary. But if the historians are right, these papers will go to the heart of the British financial establishment and raise questions about the allegiance of one of the most powerful figures of his day, former Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Montagu "Monty" Norman. In an age without television and media access, Norman's was a household name. That, at least, is one explanation for Norman's behaviour in the years before the Second World War. For Churchill, this was not good enough.
Summers-Krugman: Κίνδυνος «μακροχρόνιας ύφεσης» στη Δύση - ΑΠΟΨΕΙΣ «Κάτι έχει αλλάξει στη λειτουργία των δυτικών οικονομιών, ίσως με αρχή τη δεκαετία του '80, χωρίς ακόμα και τώρα να είναι ορατή η αλλαγή, κάτι που δεν αντιμετωπίζεται ούτε με τις φούσκες που ενίοτε δημιουργούνται. Η οικονομική στασιμότητα και η ύφεση φαίνεται ότι γίνονται ενδημικά χαρακτηριστικά των δυτικών οικονομιών». Aυτό υποστηρίζει ο διάσημος Larry Summers, επίτιμος πρόεδρος του Harvard και πρώην υπουργός Οικονομικών των ΗΠΑ. Άποψη που στηρίζει κι ο νομπελίστας οικονομολόγος Paul Krugman, ταράσσοντας τα νερά στους διεθνείς κύκλους άσκησης οικονομικής πολιτικής. Την άποψή τους ενισχύει το γεγονός ότι οι ανεπτυγμένες οικονομίες δεν έχουν εξέλθει από τη στασιμότητα, παρότι έχουν περάσει τουλάχιστον πέντε χρόνια από τη μεγάλη χρηματοπιστωτική κρίση του 2008. Με άλλα λόγια, δεν δημιουργείται ικανοποιητική ζήτηση στις οικονομίες της Δύσης, εδώ και πολλά χρόνια, ενώ η θετική επίδραση από τις φούσκες, άλλοτε στην τεχνολογία κι άλλοτε στα ακίνητα, περιορίζεται ολοένα και περισσότερο.
Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult | Truthout Barbara Stanwyck: "We're both rotten!" Fred MacMurray: "Yeah - only you're a little more rotten." -"Double Indemnity" (1944) Those lines of dialogue from a classic film noir sum up the state of the two political parties in contemporary America. But both parties are not rotten in quite the same way. To those millions of Americans who have finally begun paying attention to politics and watched with exasperation the tragicomedy of the debt ceiling extension, it may have come as a shock that the Republican Party is so full of lunatics. It was this cast of characters and the pernicious ideas they represent that impelled me to end a nearly 30-year career as a professional staff member on Capitol Hill. The debt ceiling extension is not the only example of this sort of political terrorism. The only thing that can keep the Senate functioning is collegiality and good faith. John P. The media are also complicit in this phenomenon. This constant drizzle of "there the two parties go again!" 1.
The Rothschild Family - Puppet Masters - World's Only Trillionaires - Full Documentary elibrary.worldbank.org/doi/pdf/10.1596/1813-9450-6259 Finally, A Rich American Destroys The Fiction That Rich People Create The Jobs 60 Minutes America's real job-creators...who can't afford to create any jobs. In the war of rhetoric that has developed in Washington as both sides blame each other for our economic mess, one argument has been repeated so often that many people now regard it as fact: Rich people create the jobs. Specifically, entrepreneurs and investors, when incented by low taxes, build companies and create millions of jobs. And these entrepreneurs and investors, therefore, the argument goes, can solve our nation's huge unemployment problem — if only we cut taxes and regulations so they can be incented to build more companies and create more jobs. In other words, by even considering raising taxes on "the 1%," we are considering destroying the very mechanism that makes our economy the strongest and biggest in the world: The incentive for entrepreneurs nd investors to build companies in the hope of getting rich and, in the process, creating millions of jobs. She'd like to create jobs. And Hanauer explains why.
