We’ll be in Great Depression 2 by 2011 — here are 30 reasons why - MarketWatch

We pinpointed the dot-com crash at its peak, in a March 20, 2000 column: “Next crash? Sorry, you won’t see it coming.” Bulls-eye: The dot-com bubble popped. The economy went into a 30-month recession. The stock market lost $8 trillion. And today, over eight years later, the market is still roughly 40% below its 2000 peak. See previous Paul B. Farrell.
Factor in inflation and the average stock has lost well over 50% of its value. Stocks have proven to be a very big loser, a bad investment for Americans, thanks to Wall Street’s selfish greed, plus the complicity and naiveté of politicians, press and public.

If cargo trade stops, the wheat doesn’t get exported. If the wheat doesn’t get exported, the mill has nothing to grind into flour.

The Great Depression of the 21st Century: Collapse of the Real Economy

The Great Depression of the 21st Century: Collapse of the Real Economy

The November 15 G-20 Financial Summit in Washington upholds the Washington-Wall Street consensus.

While formally presenting a project to restore financial stability, in practice, the hegemony of Wall Street remains unscathed. The tendency is towards a unipolar monetary system dominated by the United States and upheld by US military superiority.

The architects of financial disaster under the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act (FSMA) have been entrusted with the task of mitigating the crisis, which they themselves created. They are the cause of financial collapse.

The G20 Financial Summit doesn’t question the legitimacy of the hedge funds and the various instruments of derivative trade. The final communiqué includes an imprecise and blurred commitment “to better regulate hedge funds and create more transparency in mortgage-related securities in a bid to halt a global economic slide.”

A solution to this crisis can only be brought about through a process of “financial disarmament” as initially formulated by John Maynard Keynes, which forcefully challenges the hegemony of the Wall Street financial institutions including their control over the monetary policy.
