The fundamental problem is the Federal Reserve bank and its legal cartel, and fractional reserve lending, which makes credit too plentiful.<BR/><BR/>I recommend reviewing Michael Hudson's take at Counterpunch, which can be found here.<BR/><BR/>http://www.counterpunch.org/hudson09222008.html<BR/><BR/>Especially this paragraph-<BR/><BR/><BR/>In the fifth place, we need to start discussing whether we really need a banking system that behaves in the way the present one does. In recent decades banks have made loans mainly to inflate asset prices by loading real estate and industry with interest-bearing debt. What if all banks were to be organized along the lines of savings banks, with 100% reserves. This is the Chicago Plan from the 1930s (currently revived by the American Monetary Institute, which holds its annual meeting this week in Chicago, by the way). This at least would go back to basics to provide a foundation from which to re-begin to discuss just what kind of credit the economy needs and what would be the best terms on which to structure financial markets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998221.post-24637865816886439662008-09-23T03:43:00.000-07:002008-09-23T03:43:00.000-07:00Look at this from the bright side: now at least future game designers will have things to base their games on too...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
