GUZMAN1: Well, the russians were poor before that.

At least they had tractors.

TO the nearest million, how many people do you think died as a result of Collectivisation?

I don't know. The numbers are millions, but also were caused by the deportations and political reprisals.

it will be interesting to see what happens, but I think some countries may return to their own mint just based on a few things I have read in the - haven't heard much in the news on it lately though. maybe the countries with the stronger economies if the euro loses value?

My cash is in GB pounds but I use Euros in Finland, there has been a little movement of the Euro rising against the pound, I have not been following it against the $ but I suspect it is holding.
The real problem is the drastically rising prices, this is what is making the Euro look weak.

I get paid the majority in pounds,and in the 12yrs i have been here,i have seen a 30% drop in the exchange rate.Take that,and like you say,the dramatic price hypes,then it dents the income.
Last year a gas bottle was about 10.35e.this year its at 17e or there abouts already. cheers

Yes I was living in Cyprus before (but moved away before the big banks robbed their customers) of course that is another Eurozone. Many of the ex-pats who were well comfortable before have taken a drastic cut in their living standards. Of course I had to move to one of the most expensive places in the world grin grin grin grin grin Many ex-pats went back to the UK only to find their re entry to Britain dogged with problems,

Boban1: why would that (the emergence of a strong EURO) be the end of the Dollar???


The only thread holding the dollar from plunging immediately into the bottomless pit is that it is still needed as a reserve currency by many nations. So they support it to some degree out of self interest. It's not that they have confidence in the dollar, but they don't have confidence in anything else either.

If the Euro were to somehow survive its present crisis and emerge as a strong currency, every nation on earth would start buying Euros and dumping dollars because the dollar is doomed and everybody knows it.

More likely however, given the seriousness of the Euro's situation, both the dollar and the Euro (and all fiat currencies for that matter) will crash soon.

That would be the perfect opportunity for the NWO folks to set up their global electronic currency unit and start chipping everybody.

PJ1961: Interesting social comment in that second article:

I go even further in my views than Mises. I maintain, and have tried to provide evidence of this in many different ways in my writings, that it is democracy which is causally responsible for the fatal conditions afflicting us now. The number of productive people is constantly decreasing, and the number of people parasitically consuming the income and wealth of this dwindling number of productive people is increasing steadily. This can’t work in the long run."

Hence the cause of illegal immigrants "taking" the jobs of citizens in say, the USA... def a global phenomenon


Yes, but the biggest parasites of all. Those that take 90% of the wealth out of the nations are not the blue collar street level loafers but the velvet collar banking elite of the Central Banks. They steal billions of dollars out of the savings of others every day legally and with total impunity just by deliberately inflating the currency.

U.S. dollar depends of a government, while euro depends of many, some of them decidedly unreliable to say the least.

If dollar crashes before the euro, the euro will crash immediatly after.

Fiat money has been defined variously as:

* any money declared by a government to be legal tender.
* state-issued money which is neither convertible by law to any other thing, nor fixed in value in terms of any objective standard.
* money without intrinsic value.


The term derives from the Latin fiat ("let it be done", "it shall be").
