This is a half truth. True collapse will come soon, but this is not it. What we are seeing now is not a collapse but, rather, an engineered swindle, a remaking of the financial system that excludes the vast majority of people from the arena of economic power. <TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="100%" border=0><TR><TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="50%" class="fonty"><BR>We are deluged with a massive amount of financial jargon, some of it sincere attempts by technocrats to explain in their occult language what has happened, more of it is insincere smoke blown by paid propagandist for an increasingly narrow class of the super-rich. From my non-technical viewpoint the proper explanation for what we are seeing is excruciatingly simple. It boils down to, <i>we-the-people have been robbed blind with the connivance of a so called "representative" government.</i><BR><BR> </TD><TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" WIDTH="1%" class="fonty"> </TD><TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="center" WIDTH="49%" class="fonty"> <!-- PULLQUOTE --> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH=100% border=0><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH=100% BGcolor="#BBBBBB" class="fonty"> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH=100% border=0><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH=100% BGcolor="#CCCCCC" class="fonty"> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH=100% border=0><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH=100% BGcolor="#DDDDDD" class="fonty"> <TABLE CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH=100% border=0><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH=100% BGcolor="#EEEEEE" class="fontpq"><B> We have met the enemy and it is us.<BR><BR>We allowed ourselves to be robbed by choosing immature self-absorption and naiveté over sober, critical thinking maturity.<BR><BR>In a world teeming with thieves a baby and its candy are soon parted. </B></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE> </TD></TR></TABLE> For my purposes, most of the analysis and blizzard of statistics that are available is just so much misleading flak. To my mind, the only statistic that sheds light on these ongoing financial crimes is the exponential growth in the degree of <A NAME=ANCHOR></A><A HREF="http://www.demos.org/inequality/"><B>economic inequality in the US and the rest of a world</B></A> that is dominated by the US imperialist hegemons and their multinational clients.<BR><BR>If a lot of money disappears mysteriously and one group shows up with a lot of unexplained wealth, a complex investigation is not needed to find the crooks who are responsible.<BR><BR>That is not to say that there is not a lot of interesting detail to be discerned about this greatest rip-off in history. The net is full of illuminating analysis, but it is nearly impossible to sort out the useful analysis from the mass of incredible bullsh*t on offer. I depend on books as my path to understanding -- books with thick indexes and abundant references. I am currently reading <A HREF="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/226291702&referer=brief_results"><B><i>The Wrecking Crew</i></B></A> by Thomas Frank, and give it my unreserved recommendation to those interested in the details of this massive heist. A couple of months ago I read <A HREF="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/128236664&referer=brief_results"><B><i>The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism</i></B></A> by Naomi Klein, which is a good compliment to Frank's work. But perhaps more deeply illuminating is <A HREF="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76871466&referer=brief_results"><B><i>Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole</i></B></A> by Benjamin R.

Robbery at the point of a gun is no respecter of the maturity of the victim. This robbery, however, was accomplished with the cooperation of the victims in a gigantic confidence swindle, a taking of candy from babies situation.<BR><BR>For working people the reality is that wages have declined and debt has ballooned. Gradually over many decades working people have seen any effective power to negotiate wages eroded to due to the actions of a government of, by and for the super-rich.<BR><BR>The bait for the big swindle was easy credit. In return for declining wages the people were offered unmanageable mortgages, an avalanche of credit cards, ruinous student loans, tax write-offs that put people in monster trucks and RVs that they didn't need and ultimately didn't want, all engineered by a cabal of bankers and </TD></TR></TABLE>politicians as a scam to impoverish ordinary people and reconfigurethe US and its imperium as a Medieval style feudal society.<BR><BR>Barber's book offers the most illuminating analysis because he explains how a nation of relatively mature adults was transformed into a nation of babies holding candy. We have met the enemy and it is us. We allowed ourselves to be robbed by choosing immature self-absorption and naiveté over sober, critical thinking maturity.
