You didn’t get to finish the question of how will this all play out. What would you have said?

Good imagery with the banks hoovering up debt. So are they just borrowing like crazy to pay their staff and their bills and holding out hopes that there returns will catch up?

What are they borrowing all that money for?

Dear Ann,

I love to read you insights on the global financial crisis, grim and scary though they are. I first saw you on Al Jazeera about Greek debt crisis. I got interested when you spoke about the Argentine experience. could you please write more on Argentina and Iceland, so that people can understand what it is like to default. I was just in Buenos Aires, and they are definitely coming out of the crisis now. A scary ride no doubt, but what is on offer for Greece now looks like agonizing life support to me.

a shame you don’t have a Facebook share facility, I’d love to send my friends here. all the best.

I agree: section 3 of the IFS 2012 Green Budget is ridiculous. I gave it a drubbing on my own blog:

Austerity may be helpful against climate change. It may be the only remaining tool against it. The faster the economy goes bust, the better. It does not necessarily bring chaos, it may bring more centralisation of power. Which again is good for the climate.

How to break the fraud of Bankers? We just refuse to play their Ponzi scheme. We withdraw our deposits from the banks and invest in physical assets like gold, silver, farm land, etc. The fraudulent fractional reserve banking system will just collapse.

Global Debt Crisis

The greatest private fraud of human history.
Who are the great fraudsters who are becoming the murderers of the human kind? How does the economy “illness” threaten Democracy and the freedom of people?

By knowing what happened in indebted Greece, where loan sharks created “bubbles” and the current inhuman debt, one can understand the inhuman plan in total …understand where this plan started just to bring all states at the same end …understand how this type of plans are established…

It will be impossible to create jobs in the industry, because of Peak Oil. Less oil means less energy, less materials, de-urbanisation, de-globalisation, de-industrialisation. So those who can will have to go back to the land and learn the old skills of self-sufficiency. Those who do not have a land will fight for it.

There are a lot of books on peak oil. See “The end of growth” for example of Richard Heinberg.
