Capitalism & Banking -- Like the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster -- Faulty O-Rings ??

Item 1: Capitalism & Banking -- Like the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster -- Faulty O-Rings ??

Recently, increasing information has become available about identifying serious dysfunctions in our contemporary systems of Capitalism and Banking that will likely produce disastrous consequences for the American People unless they are effectively addressed.

These insights are being discussed by some of our best "outside the box" economic and political thinkers -- several examples of which will be posted during the next few weeks.

This material compels us to re-think some of the traditional "Sacred Cow" concepts about our systems of Capitalism and Banking.

As with faulty O-rings on Space Shuttle Challenger, these defects do not necessarily mean that the overall systems should be scrapped, but that substantial corrective actions may be necessary.

Such realizations, however, are in sharp contrast to many well-known "conventional wisdom" commentators (as well as major political candidates), who insist that "the invisible hand of the market" will invariably fix every deficiency of the systems in question if we just leave them completely alone.

People who are rigidly locked into such thinking are probably not going to like many of the alternative perspectives -- and/or proposed remedies that are recommended by the innovative commentators referenced above.

Those who cling to orthodox views are welcome to delete any of the posts to follow that offend them, or to unsubscribe. Such folks will probably find it far more comfortable to spend their time listening to the numerous radio talk-show commentators whose diatribes daily saturate our nation's airwaves.

I will try not to overload you with too many of the "new-approach" commentaries at any one time -- and will usually accompany them with additional information about topics of a more familiar nature that have been discussed in previous posts.

Some of the new material will undoubtedly be controversial -- encouraging us to assess the pros and cons, and to differentiate between the types of changes and innovations that could produce positive outcomes, as contrasted with those likely to be counterproductive.

With the foregoing comments as preamble, here are a couple of the "fresh" (for us, that is) assessments of Capitalism and Banking, followed by some worthwhile information about topics previously discussed:

B. The Costs of Capitalism's Crisis: Who Will Pay? -- Economist Richard Wolff

>>> Please Note: These two presentations offer viewers some important insights into ways in which our financial system works, about which most citizens are entirely unaware.

Item 2: The Award-Winning Film, "Inside Job"

This item relates to a topic we've frequently considered in the past -- i.e., the Wall Street financial melt-down of 2008.

If you have not already had a chance to view "Inside Job," I'm happy to report that a copy has recently become available on-line:

Inside Job
http://thoughtmaybe.com/video/inside-job

"Inside Job" provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008 -- which, at a cost over $20 trillion -- caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse.

Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia.

Item 3: "Deep Denial and Mass Deception -- Our Freeways to Fascism ??"

As you will likely recall, this item was posted a few weeks ago. It provides documentation regarding several topics of basic importance, about which every American should be aware:

Deep Denial and Mass Deception -- Our Freeways to Fascism
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/universalcivicactionnetwork/message/1247

If you concur that this material needs to be widely disseminated, please consider sending the above link along to as many people as you can.

We are competing with the Mass Media's *extremely powerful* Mind Manipulation Machinery, so unless citizens who have become aware of what is actually going on in the world "under the table and behind he curtain" are willing to join in efforts to circulate "real deal" information, the General Public will continue to be grossly misinformed, and vulnerable to being hoodwinked in ways contrary to the best interests of both themselves and the nation as a whole.
