In regards to our “global economy,” one is better off reading Dostoevsky’s The Gambler and saying to himself, “at the present moment I must repair to the roulette-table,” than listening to George Bush deluding himself about the fact that “while there is some uncertainty, the financial markets are strong and solid.”
The truth is, our global markets have become a “lame duck” and all we can do is wait for the next disaster to shake the corrupt foundation on which things have been run.

[Our] great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the
nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few
men... who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill
and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world--no
government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the
volte of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of
small groups of dominant men.
-- President Woodrow Wilson
