Dollar Collapse Foreseen In Dutch Documentary

Americans are living beyond their means and Asia is currently financing that. But eventually the Asians/Europeans will stop financing the USA and then the bubble will burst. Also check out the 1-minute video which I’m responding to for a quick explanation.

Here is a snippet of a speech made by Ron Paul before the House of Representative on February 25 2006.

“A hundred years ago it was called “dollar diplomacy.” After World War II, and especially after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989, that policy evolved into “dollar hegemony.” But after all these many years of great success, our dollar dominance is coming to an end.

It has been said, rightly, that he who holds the gold makes the rules. In earlier times it was readily accepted that fair and honest trade required an exchange for something of real value.

First it was simply barter of goods. Then it was discovered that gold held a universal attraction, and was a convenient substitute for more cumbersome barter transactions. Not only did gold facilitate exchange of goods and services, it served as a store of value for those who wanted to save for a rainy day.” [Ron Paul]

GLOBAL ECONOMY: It Doesn’t Matter Where You Live Anymore

book

For ezvancouver.com by Anthony Pratt

I just stumbled upon this new Richard Florida book. I started to read it. It offers an interesting perspective on global economy. I might review it on this blog later.

” It’s a mantra of the age of globalization that where we live doesn’t matter. We can innovate just as easily from a ski chalet in Whistler or a beach house in the Caribbean as in the office.

According to Richard Florida, this is plain wrong. Globalization is not flattening the world – it’s making it “spikier.” Place matters more than ever to the global economy and to our individual lives. Where we live determines the jobs and careers we have access to, the people we meet, and the “mating markets” in which we participate. Where we live determines where the good ideas come from – and even whether they come at all. Everything we think we know about cities and their economic role is up for grabs.” [Amazon]
