A Brilliant Warning On Robert Rubin's Proposal to Deregulate Banks, circa 1995

Jesse

...The notion that Glass-Steagall prevents American financial intermediaries from fulfilling their utmost potential in a global marketplace reflects inadequate understanding of the events that precipitated the act and the similarities between today's financial marketplace and the market nearly a century ago...The unbridled activities of those gifted financiers crumbled under the dynamic forces of the capital marketplace. If you take away the checks, the market forces will eventually knock the system off balance. Mark D. Samber (1995)

The Plan to De-dollarise the Oil Markets: Its Roots and Implications

Jesse

The breakdown of US dollar reserves being held overseas in the attached article of news is interesting, even though estimated. I am curious to see when Kevin Phillips and Chalmers Johnson start speaking to this as this sort of historic change is in their respective ballparks. Of course, there is always the option to listen to those in the American financial media who dismiss the internationally respected and well-connected Robert Fisk as a commie crank, a liberal web spinner, and a tinfoil conspiracty theorist.
