Congrats wonderful. And btw, what was Eric’s MO? He kept asking for money, saying how sick and desperate he was, then accusing me (and others I had introduced him to) of lacking solidarity with the poor of poor countries by not sending him money. Was he like this when you communicated with him? – alanna

2016-07-1 Dr. Anthony Horvath, author of” CAPITALlessISM … published recently. http://www.capitallessism.com.
PUBLIC BANKING IS NOT JUST an ALTERNATIVE but it is THE ONLY PEACEFUL , UN-RADICALIZED SOLUTION FOR LONG TERM ECONOMIC STABILITY ….. Have you seen a headless spider … agonizing …. each leg trying to move the body into a different direction. Our AGONIZING economy is a headless economy spider; where the government abdicated his ‘’HEAD’’-right of coordination since 1913. Thus our government is not in a position of authority any more to create its currency supply and enforce/coordinate the capital circulation in order to sustain the economy. Consequently, each private financial institution is pulling according to ITS OWN PROFITABILITY VISION, regardless of the survival needs of the other segments of U.S. It is a headless chaotic economic tag-of-war, among the pulling-private-legs because there is no governmental coordination or regulatory supervision. Since the de-regulations took effect, there is no more harmonizing action between public and private economic needs. Profits overrule public needs. Privatization of healthcare for the poor became the norm, while corporate socialism was born (with the 800 billion$ bailout from the taxpayer’s pocket). Hey, don’t get me wrong … it is all legal and legitimate … but is it fair and ethical??? ….. don’t get me wrong I am not a communist, (far from it …. I escaped from it with my family in 1957)… I am definitely for a fair vision of a capitalist dream that made America great, I am for Roosevelt’s second bill of rights where the legitimate capitalist aspirations of the free-enterprising spirit is harmoniously interfaced with the legal/economic survival needs of the people, …. Where each person has a chance of development and a fair starting chance for free enterprise. PUBLIC BANKING IS THE HEART OF SUCH A DREAM. The key is A PUBLIC PRIVATE BANKING PARTERSHIP NETWORK UNDER GOVERNAMENTAL SUPERVISION.
As an example for an efficient public banking system, in a short seventy-six years Quebec has built up several economic giants with her version of a public-cooperative banking system: Quebec’s CAISSE POPULAIRE DESJARDINS, a financial cooperative movement, presently valued at over $220 billion (among the world largest banking institutions) and over above the CAISSE DE DEPOT ET PLACEMENT, with an investment pool of 176.2 billion dollars (2012 data), with which they have invested in 4,000 promising Quebec enterprises. To these financial giants add the Bank National and the Laurentian Bank, as well as the investment capital Fond de Solidarité. To this we have to add a NATIONAL ‘’PEOPLE’S’’ ECONOMY CONCEPT WITH ITS VAST NETWORK, CONSISTING OF COOPERATIVE MOVEMENTS WITH ITS RAMIFICATIONS IN MANY SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY. Quebec has the most elaborate cooperative system in the world, which led the national economy in many areas. It started many giant companies that led its economy and which also help Quebec maintain its independence in several key sectors, such as hydroelectricity, liquor sales, agriculture, etc.
YES PUBLIC BANKING IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR A PEACEFUL ECONOMIC REFORMS FOR A FAIR CAPITALIST SYSTEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. Thank you for your comments.
