It is interesting to note that the 200 richest people have more assets than the 2 billion poorest.

When the institutions of money rule the world, it is perhaps inevitable that the interests of money will take precedence over the interests of people. What we are experiencing might best be described as a case of money colonizing life. To accept this absurd distortion of human institutions and purpose should be considered nothing less than an act of collective, suicidal insanity.

The professional study of economics has become ideological brainwashing. It is a defense of the excesses of the capitalist system.

We can have democracy and a prosperous, just, and sustainable human future. Or we can have corporate rule. We cannot have both.

We should be moving toward local currencies not global or European currencies.

Capitalism is not about free competitive choices among people who are reasonably equal in their buying and selling of economic power, it is about concentrating capital, concentrating economic power in very few hands using that power to trash everyone who gets in their way.

There is no visible sign that the current politicians in the US are willing to see the need for change.
