Spain: who is responsible for the property bubble? - Credit Writedowns
As recession takes hold, European citizens are starting to ask questions about how they were led into this, the deepest downturn in three-quarters of a century. The leading Spanish daily El Pais published a very thoughtful article today asking how things had unravelled so quickly and so spectacularly in Spain, previously one of the fastest growing economies in Europe.

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.

Tipping point
There is a moment when the average person becomes aware that something is wrong, even if they don’t understand what exactly is going on. In that moment, they go to the bank and withdraw large amounts of money, which makes things even worse, making the whole situation a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This tipping point -with images like these, link below- is being reached as we speak.

Potential Future Hyperinflation
Potential Future Hyperinflation
Walter “John” Williams thinks out of the box. He makes disquieting reading, but you won’t find him in the mainstream. At least not often. He runs a “Shadow Government Statistics” site with an electronic by-subscription newsletter. Anyone can access some of his data and occasional special reports. They can also assess his reasoning. In his judgment, government data are manipulated, corrupted and unreliable. He’s not alone thinking that.
