Transitioning to a Global Credit Regime Part I

MAAA

...this is the first in a series of posts that will aim to discuss and dissect the more likely nature, features and requirements of the global monetary and debt system that will emerge once the current one disintegrates. To be clear, we define the current system as consisting of fiat sovereign currencies collaterized by sovereign (and now private) debt, primarily from the US. It is precisely this system that we have come to believe is unsustainable and will eventually crash in what many people call the Dollar Event Horizon (DEH). What emerges after DEH must therefore not be of a sovereign nature, but of a global one; of that we are certain.

The 38 Year Cycle in US Monetary History

Jesse

..the longer cycle of 38 years and some others, is that they involve what people call 'generational memory.' People as a group essentially forget the lessons of the past, and human nature being what it is, events based on bad judgement and reckless behaviour seem to recur at these intervals. If there was any 'tell' for the current crisis, it was the general overturning of the safeguards for the financial system that had been put in place in the aftermath of the financial panic of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed, culminating in the eventual overturn of Glass-Steagall and the ascendancy of extreme leverage using exotic, unregulated instruments. This is why we call this a generational change. This is no slump, no recession. And it is far from over. We are experiencing some major changes that are easily lost when one only looks at the day to day moves, listens to the description of events on the mainstream media, and of course, have a lack of memory, a knowledge of history, of things that have happened to their grandfathers and great grandfathers. The arrogant ignorance of so many still in place is a sure sign of greater chastisement to come, until the lessons of history are learned again, and the system is brought back into a sustainable balance.
