And add to that how the "production standard" is so often replaced in practice by a "speculation standard", and the divorce between apparent economic performance and real production output is not so much an indicator of real economic performance as it is an indicator of how much creation of wealth there has been for an absolute minority. Quote by Norfolk


Hi Norfolk, agree absolutely and this is done through the separation of economic policy form what is called monetary policy. It is done intentionally, this not a phenomenon of nature and it allows people to make money instead of creating wealth (useful life support as opposed to changing numbers on a piece of paper) and power will accrue to a concentrated few again regardless of who is elected. It is not called war but it can create the same effect as war because you can most certainly impose your will upon them.
