Interview With Former JPMorgan Director John Fullerton

Laura Flanders, The Nation: ''John Fullerton is a former managing director at JPMorgan. Finance drives economics, he says, and economics largely determines the fate of the planet, yet the resources of the planet are finite. 'The notion that exponential growth can go on indefinitely in a finite planet is in violation with arithmetic and basic physics.' As long as growth is the sine qua non of market economic ideology: 'We are lost.'''

After $9 Billion in Losses, JPMorgan Still Wins With Co-Opted Congress, Hobbled Volcker Rule

Jeffrey McCord, Truthout: ''The Securities and Exchange Commission s (SEC) current budget of $1.32 billion is dwarfed by the $4 billion to $9 billion JPMorgan Chase may ultimately lose through disastrous gambling on derivatives and related instruments for its own accounts. Ironically, the Dodd-Frank reform law s 'Volcker Rule' restricting such noncustomer-related trading, opposed by JPMorgan s CEO and most Republicans, might have eliminated or limited the billions lost by this federally insured bank had it been in place (and enforced.)''

Banksters Take Us to the Brink

Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: "Every day brings more reminders of the terrible unfairness that besets our country, the tragic reversal of fortune experienced by millions who once had good lives and steady jobs, now gone.... And you wonder why the banksters still roam free, like gunslingers in a Wild West town without a sheriff.''

Anger and Political Culture: A Time for Outrage!

Michael A Peters, Truthout: ''At a time when anti-austerity measures across the world punish taxpayers after national banking systems have been bailed out with hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars, when both educated and working-class youth suffer historically high levels of unemployment, when the people of Tahrir Square continue to demonstrate peacefully for basic democratic values against corrupt officials and their military.... it is remarkable that a 94-year-old veteran resistance fighter should become an icon of resistance and an advocate of peaceful protest.''

Past time to move from rhetoric to reality on lawless bankers

Our Future
by Isaiah J. Poole

09/04/12

The mortgage fraud task force led by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is charged with building a legal case against the people responsible for crashing the economy and destroying the finances of millions of people. But a new report released today by the Institute for America s Future raises critical questions about whether that task force is being allowed by the Obama administration to do its job, and whether as a result Wall Street bankers guilty of criminal acts will go scot-free...

Brechstange Fiskalpakt. Hilfsinstrumente in Euro-Krise sollen »Staatsfinanzen sanieren«. Tatsächlich schaffen sie Platz für Abbau von Beschäftigtenrechten

''Weitgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit werden in den EU-Staaten die Arbeitsbeziehungen und Sozialsysteme weiter dereguliert, vulgo: »reformiert«. Den Deckmantel bieten Konstrukte wie »Rettungsschirme«, »Schuldenbremse« und »Fiskalpakt«. Tarifverträge werden ausgehebelt, Löhne und Renten gesenkt, Arbeitszeiten verlängert, befristete Verträge gefördert, der Kündigungsschutz weiter gelockert. Gleichzeitig wird der öffentliche Dienst weiter geschrumpft und privatisiert?'' Artikel von

EU und die Finanzkrise: Heiner Flassbeck hat die Hoffnung auf die wirtschaftspolitische Vernunft der deutschen Seite verloren und empfiehlt die Scheidung der Euro-Partner

Hat Heiner Flassbeck kapituliert? Oder eine letzte Warnung??

''Stets warnte Heiner Flassbeck, Ökonom und Publizist (Chef-Volkswirt bei der UNO-Organisation für Welthandel und Entwicklung (UNCTAD) in Genf.'') vor dem Auseinanderbrechen der Eurozone. Er thematisierte immer wieder die wirtschaftlichen Ungleichgewichte im Euroraum und machte konkrete Lösungsvorschläge. Jetzt empfiehlt er in einem Beitrag für Wirtschaft und Markt, den die NachDenkSeiten cross veröffentlichten: ''Trennt euch''. Er meint damit, dass die Währungsunion wieder in mehrere Einzelwährungen aufgespalten werden sollte, weil er glaubt, dass die jetzige Politik alte Ressentiments weckt und neue Feindschaften erzeugt. Aber Politisch verbirgt sich dahinter die Frage: Zurück zum Nationalstaat oder Europa neu begründen? Und wo verbergen sich die größten Gefahren, dass Rechtspopulistische Bewegungen weiter Zulauf bekommen?'' Ein Kommentar von Marty Ludischbo vom 27. Aug 2012 im Online-Magazin Ruhr rein, Rhein raus http://dnzs-politik.blog.de/2012/08/27/heiner-flassbeck-kapituliert-vorbereiten-14584928/
