The World Economy Beast is beyond control

maybe the govt should be looking towards smaller business' as they were the big business' of days gone by. All the focus to big business in my opinion doesn't help wealth creation apart from a select few.

we are talking about creating more "Dodgy's independent traders"

Bring back the nation state is my solution. Mankind will always create them and us, divisions based on simple geography work better than a global system that is effectively based on class, the ruling educated strata of governments and big business putting their interests above those of the ordinary people.

We need policies based on facts and reality that serve the majority, not a rich elite nor the head in the clouds idealists. Pol Pot had the right idea, exterminate the educated. (Unless they have a 1st in Chemical Engineering obviously)

Perhaps it is simply too late for the World Economy to be brought back under any sort of national management: the operations of the market may have become too big, too electronically automated, too rapacious and ungovernable for any country to handle.

Electronic money is a big part of the problem. Makes it far too easy to transfer billions from one end of the planet to the other in the blink of an eye. Makes it far too easy for money to just disappear. Our civilisation is just not ready for electronic money.

Let them do it. Unilaterally.

And why not? All those dirty spekulants buying and selling euro stuff (like Greek bonds) every nano-second will just have pay every time they want to make transaction or fook off and target some weaker states.
