  • Bretton Woods Redux: The Real Bridge to Nowhere [View article]
    Chaos or a New World Economic Order?

    Interest Rates [Credit] are the Cause and Consequence of the Explosion of Income/Wealth Disparities and, Hence, of the Inherent Instability of this Economy:

    The Ominous Keynes' Liquidity Trap.
    Origin of Economic Chaos.

    As Far as we Know, As of Today No Other Economist Has Even Touched on The Link Between Income Distribution and the Interest-Rates / Liquidity Trap.

    None of the Traditional Tools of Governments Will Work: The Helpless Leaders of The G20 Countries Are Pathetic, Aren't They?


    DIE ZEIT: Can the right monetary and fiscal policy keep the US out of a recession?

    Alan Greenspan:

    "Probably not. Global forces can now override most anything that monetary and fiscal policy can do.

    Long-term real interest rates have significantly more impact on the core of economic activity than the individual actions of nations.

    Central banks have increasingly lost their capacity to influence the longer end of the market.

    Two to three decades, ago central banks were dominant throughout the maturity schedule.

    Thus, the more important question is the direction of long-term real interest rates."

    "At the present moment people are unusually expectant of a more fundamental diagnosis; more particularly ready to receive it; eager to try it out, if it should be even plausible.

    But apart from this contemporary mood, the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood.

    Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.

    Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. Emperors and armies come and go;
    but unless they leave new ideas in their wake, they are of passing historic consequence.

    I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. Not, indeed, immediately, but after a certain interval;

    for in the field of economic and political philosophy there are not many who are influenced by new theories after they are twenty-five or thirty years of age, so that the ideas which civil servants and politicians and even agitators apply to current events are not likely to be the newest.
    But, soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil."

    "Even apart from the instability due to speculation, there is the instability due to the characteristic of human nature that a large proportion of our positive activities depend on spontaneous optimism rather than on a mathematical expectation, whether moral or hedonistic or economic.

    Most, probably, of our decisions to do something positive, the full consequences of which will be drawn out over many days to come, can only be taken as a result of animal spirits—of a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.

    Enterprise only pretends to itself to be mainly actuated by the statements in its own prospectus, however candid and sincere. Only a little more than an expedition to the South Pole, is it based on an exact calculation of benefits to come.
    Thus if the animal spirits are dimmed and the spontaneous optimism falters, leaving us to depend on nothing but a mathematical expectation, enterprise will fade and die;—
    though fears of loss may have a basis no more reasonable than hopes of profit had before."
