The global economy is at the point of maximum danger

Posted by Matt in July 21st, 2008

It feels like the summer of 1931. The world’s two biggest financial institutions have had a heart attack. The global currency system is breaking down. The policy doctrines that got us into this mess are bankrupt. No world leader seems able to discern the problem, let alone forge a solution.

The International Monetary Fund has abdicated into schizophrenia. It has upgraded its 2008 world forecast from 3.7pc to 4.1pc growth, whilst warning of a “chance of a global recession”. Plainly, the IMF cannot or will not offer any useful insights.

World economy banks on China - 24 October 2008
Western leaders are hoping the 1.3 billion Chinese consumers will save the world economy. Despite three decades of rapid expansion, however, the majority of China's population remains relatively poor and hopes that they can pick up the slack left by American consumers appear to be optimistic. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports.

Dalian 2007 - Global Economic Outlook
http://www.weforum.org/dalian 06.09.2007 Global Economic Outlook Despite recent financial volatility and high energy prices, the world economy is widely expected to continue its robust growth path in 2008, with emerging and developing economies leading the way.

This session will highlight the main trends and critical challenges to the global economy over the next 12 to 18 months. 1) What are the potential spillover risks from the expected slowdown in the US?

G20 against new great depression
Today we will once again be talking about the state of world finance and the global economy. At a one-day summit in Washington the leaders of the 20 most economically important countries agreed to a radical change in the international monetary system. Their final statement pledges to reform global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. How radical could this reform be? And will it really help prevent a new Great Depression? Were about to hear one of the most competent commentators on the subject - our guest today is the Director of the London School of Economics - Howard Davies...

East Asia World Economic Forum 2008 - Economic Leadership
http://www.weforum.org/eastasia2008 15.06.2008 Global Economic Leadership: Is Asia in the Driver's Seat As uncertainty looms over a US recession, there is growing belief that a decoupling scenario will see China, India and other Asian economies taking the driver's seat for global growth. With over 50% of the global economy still in the hands of G7 countries and the US dollar at historic lows, is confidence in the region's global economic leadership premature?

NEW WORLD ORDER OUT OF CHAOS: THE COMING ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
Are we facing Financial Armageddeon? I can't say I've ever lived through a Depression, but it sure looks like I will be in the near future, and it doesn't look like some major event is going to be avoided, and as always, the perpetrators will be the saviours once again, bringing the world under a more centralized framework, and thus begins the cashless society and the end of the middle class in the west, and hello to Socialism on a grand scale It would be nice to envision a society who stands up to this constant raping of our God given rights as Humans to exist on a planet, but really, I try to talk to people all the time who don't know or care what's going on, and the conclusion I come to is that things will get a lot worse before they get better....

World Economy. RON PAUL on the Current Crisis. Sep 18.
Sep. 18, 2008. Ron Paul explains how misguided policies and actions by the Federal Reserve and the government led to the current financial crisis. Many who agree with me on a lot of other issues, do not understand my enthusiasm for gold and sound money or why I spend so much time studying and talking about monetary policy. Its true that I talk about money differently than most, but the fact is sound money offers many benefits. For example peace. Can sound money really bring about peace? Actually, it plays a big part in peaceful international relationships. Money based on commodities, rather than paper, is not subject to government manipulation, and is a key component to free and honest trade. History shows that if countries engage in trade with each other, their governments tend to...

Davos Annual Meeting 2008 - Update 2008 US Economy
http://www.weforum.org/annualmeeting 23.01.2008 Update 2008: If America Sneezes, Does the World Still Catch a Cold? As uncertainty looms over the US economy, there is confidence in some circles that China and India and other emerging markets will drive global growth -- despite the fact that G8 countries still represent over 50% of the global economy. Are we finally witnessing the long predicted decoupling of global growth from the US economy? And is the dollar's current weakness a long-term, versus cyclical, trend? C.
