What this man is telling you is not accurate,( not to his fault ) I am a mechanic working in Reno, Nv. I repair heavy equipment.( A good paying job for most men) I make less than $40,000 a year! and that is after year's of training! My wage is well above the national average for production and manufacturing job's! most warehouse and factory worker's make even less than is known to most people. what i'm getting at is the perception that most U.S. men and women make " GREAT" money is false...
@26Keano Nationalism is an alternative to free markets that has a track record of enrich its people. The globalist know this which is why they encourage anti-nationalist ideology of every stripe, including neo-liberal fundamentalism.
@jbyeats as an American, and these days I call myself an American with a heavy,heavy heart...the Irish brogue (sounds Scottish?)when saying 'Chinese' sounds like 'Cheneys' to my ears at first -lol.

The US government is to a large extent controlled by Zionists who apparently will stop at nothing to destroy Israel's arch enemy, Iran. As far as Russia is concerned, one only has to look at Russia's response to US/Zionist meddling in the Caucuses. The result was the 2008 War in South Ossetia. I'd like to think that the sociopaths in D.C. and in Langley learned their lesson in 2008, but as we all know, sociopaths are by definition incapable of changing their behavior.
@usagoodbyeisayhello Did you know the Jews use Hollywood as a means to control the minds of the western population? So Russia invade a small part of disputed land, to which it suppiled oil and had hundreds of millions worth of pipeline and infrastructure, and because georgia had U.S support, which admittedly was only really so they could use their oil pipelines, and you infer that the U.S.A caused the entire conflict???
@mickoooo123 I am inferring nothing. Giorgiy Gogiashvili (brother of a former Georgian Finance Minister and son of a friend who is a close confident of former Georgian President/Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze), told a mutual friend that the US overthrew the Georgian government in 2003. I knew Gogiashvili, who was involved. Gogiashvili also stated that Cheney/Bush et al wanted Georgia to initiate policies which would affect genocide in Georgia. These people are sociopaths.
@usagoodbyeisayhello which former finance minister are you referring to? Some guy tells a friend of yours the U.S overthrew Shevardnadze and that's supposed to be gospel? The U.S obviously supported the rose revolution, they didn't hide that. They openly aided Georgia. You're trying to twist it into some Zionist/ U.S plot to kill innocent people for no reason. Did the U.S order the hundreds of thousands of Georgian citizens into the streets of tiblisi as well?
@mickoooo123 Mirian Gogiashvili is the former Finance Minister. A very good friend of mine has a brother who is a well-respected Georgian journalist and Member of Parliament. I had the inside scoop when I was there.
@mickoooo123 Continued - Of course I know that "Jews use Hollywood as a means to control the minds of the western population". Have you heard of the Rene Harlin project 'Georgia' or '5 Days in August'? I learned about this in the early autumn of 2009. Not long afterward, I declared political asylum in Ireland. I contacted virtually ever newspaper in Ireland, and RTE repeatedly, in the hope that someone in Ireland would do a piece on me, so that I could then inform people of the truth...

@georgejacktheripper Are you pissed off with Gaddafi for crushing any potential political rivals over the past forty years or for oppressing his own people in order to enrich himself? or is it just only the westerners fault?
@jbyeats JB & George, as I've already expressed in another post, never underestimate the Jocks. We have the SNP in power for a second term in Edinburgh, but we(SNP) must keep the Scottish people on our side & as I say, they aint no dafties. We are an old country, with our own Legal system etc & a very good infrastructure as a result of being part of the UK. So as for independence; it is a waiting game, we need a stable world economy.
@georgejacktheripper What did Libya [Gaddafi] do to The british? Gave the IRA Semtex. If the Scots want to go alone we the people in England will get their coats.They have an elected parliament we can only dream,so if the scots want to go yippee !. The french are also in Libya, but i guess that doesn't fit into your agenda. Ireland doesn't exist ask Jb. We can't afford another conflict with our debts, £7 billion flushed down the toilet given in loans to Ireland. And we are still enemys ?

The destination is a world in chaos so the financiers can guide civilization to feudalism. Ready Set Go.
@mickoooo123 The financiers have financed a number of wars, and funded both sides with loans, so YES, the financiers benefit from war. They also benefit from economic turmoil, because they buy up resources built by lots of labor, cheaply. Look at what is going on in Greece. But frankly, I'm not here to convince you of anything. You either see it or you don't.
@Ranger4564 Any examples of a financier funding both sides of a war? or buying up cheap resources? what in Greece have they bought so far? I'm not saying you're wrong, just feel arguments should have a factual basis rather than be someones opinion.
@mickoooo123 For financiers, search for something like "financiers funding both sides of conflict" or money lenders / masters, or look for videos on YT that speak about the history of conflict and money. There is likely little evidence we can get out hands on, but there is supposedly a body of evidence indicating that finance funded both sides, to gain no matter who won. ex: watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs Also, greek asset sale - islands, acropolis, art, industries, transport... search the news.
@Ranger4564 What war are you even talking about? all historical conflicts or just more recent ones? the greek sale of islands and acropolis refers to a comment made by some mep from germany, which resulted with the greeks reacting in outrage and boycotting german goods, nothing has actually benn sold.......they owe 80 odd billion, selling an a few islands would be wholly insignificant in trying to reduce that debt.
@mickoooo123 Continued - I've met Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who is A FUCKING LUNATIC!!! I could go into more, but what's the point? To summarize, the US caused the 2008 War in South Ossetia. I know this because I was there. How's that? Apologies if I sound perturbed. P.S. People like JBYEATS should be running Ireland. Unfortunately, Ireland's fast becoming a nation of absolute retards. I'll say that again: Ireland's fast becoming a nation of absolute retards.
@usagoodbyeisayhello Why is he a lunatic? you say you've met him and thats supposed to be some sort of proof that he's a murdering psychopath? Yes I agree people like JB should be in office, instead we've been saddled with teachers, farmers and lawyers who see towing the line as a good euro-zone member as their only priority. But if we get who we vote for. Insult Ireland all you like, it has no feelings.
@mickoooo123 True, Ireland does not have feelings, but does it still possess a soul? As far as Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is concerned, I'll just say that he's a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
@mickoooo123 I spent a few years living in a land mass called Russia, and I can tell you that that land mass has a soul. So do a lot of other places. Ireland used to, in that it was once a very special place. One could feel magic in the air...all one had to do was tune in to one's surroundings. When I was back in Ireland recently, I'd get those same feelings every now and then, but nothing at all like I used to. Maybe they were just memories, I don't know.
@usagoodbyeisayhello I get that feeling everyday in Dublin, I absolutely love it here. Judging by your videos id guess you're in and about thirty. Which means you couldnt really have been here as an adult any earlier than the eighties. Are you telling me it was a special place then and not now? The magic you felt in the air was your own magic, not Irelands.
@mickoooo123 I'll be 43 next month. I first visited Ireland in 1988. My first port of call outside of Dublin was Westport, Co. Mayo. If felt magical, and I felt like I had come home. It was the Ireland portrayed in books and in film. It was the land which my ancestors had fled from. This was back before forced multiculturalism in Ireland. Perhaps you're too young to remember what it was like? The Troubles aside (I lived in Belfast in 90'), it was a better place than today. Much so.
@jbyeats so instead of thinking that China is on an upward trend, with the standard of living slowly improving, which it is,though im by no means promoting state-dictatorship or exploitation of workers, you would rather see it as the world being on a downward trend, with the global population just few years away from being slaves to a rich few who are going to order us all about and tell us we have to give up our sacred labour to build things that nobody will buy cause we'll be poor slaves?
You are sounding bigoted, and you're conveniently ignoring a large body of history, including the imperialist west and the support that added to the capitalist engine. But regardless, in terms of what is actually transpiring across the globe, you are thinking way too small. There is a coup underway, perpetrated by finance, against nation states. The strategy is to burden by debt and to bankrupt the nations / citizenry, confiscating revenue streams, to return to a global feudal state. Period.
@Ranger4564 What do you mean by feudal?? its quite a slippery term? im presuming you're trying to imply some kind of one world government, correct me if im wrong, but if im not at exactly what point in history was there a single dominating power?
@mickoooo123 Feudal has nothing to do with 1 government, and by hte way, I'm not advocating it, I'm pointing out that's where we're headed. Feudal, like in the dark / middle ages...look up feudalism in a search engine... no links allowed here. wikipedia Feudalism
@Ranger4564 Yeah classic feudalism relates to land ownership and power derived in that sense. It also didnt emerge as a single definable idea, which is why i dont really get what you mean when you say we're headed there. I dont see how we are and since you wont back up any of your claims with decent examples i just assumed you were adopting the classic anti-capitalist stance which assumes that a tiny rich cabal of international bankers are planning on taking over the world
@mickoooo123 Don't take the concepts too literally... the point of the traditional feudalism you know was not to tie it to land. It was to tie it to a controlled resource, which only the privileged had access to, and the serfs had to serve those who had the resource. In the historic case, it was property (land). In capitalist terms it is money. In impending future terms, it's money / food / water / shelter / etc, all sorts of things which are related to cost so money.
The oppressive systems in China and Russia as anywhere else share the same strategy as the oppressive systems that were in place throughout the history of labor in the US also, until labor organized and put in place some protections... the same protections which are being dismantled as we speak. The capitalist system fails precisely because it reinforces the oppression of the productive components of the system. As efficiencies improve, less labor is required leading to more exploitation.
@jbyeats Wal mart, capitalism in action. 400 billion in revenues, 16 billion or so profit- which is given to shareholders or ploughed back into the company. a few get very rich, most get an average wage. if its too low they can can complain, make documentaries, leave the company etcetc. Plus if enough people cared or had the ingenuity they could set up a co-op supermarket and keep all the profits themselves.
Agree with much of what you are saying about capital and labour, but would also like to add land ownership. For hundreds of years, the people of the British Isles have been methodically robbed of their lands and natural resources. There were the "Highland Clearances" and "Enclosure Acts" that forced people off the land and into towns and cities where they were forced to work in factories for slave wages.
Thanks JB. Your musings once again reinforce the notion that this game, of life, needs to played with your head on your shoulders. I have tried to figure out how one works around the capital consolidation issue, which is what ultimately skews the capital/labor balance in capital's favor, Marx says it is an inevitability of capitalism. The game needs smarter actors to continue in any sustainable fashion, or needs to reset naturally so that the setbacks don't result in social calamity.
Yet it grows without any sowing or weeding or fertlizer, I accept that it needs cut and seasoned etc but that leads me to me main point, what is labour? Does it mean an activity that involves effort? Pain? Frustration? Can valuable things not be created through joy? Do you not enjoy gardening? As I am sure you agree words are powerful, more powerful than I can imagine and contain more than just their surface meaning... so what is work?
When you say that valuable things can only be created by human labour I can't help thinking about the gorse that is being destroyed across this land. For thousands of years the people of this island used it as firewood which from experience is a fantastic fuel for the stove, It also feed their livestock, Gorse has up to half the protein of oats.It is also an incredibly important source of food for bees.
It is a legume which means it actually improves the soiI, I could go on.
@jbyeats Capital & Labour are both incredibly important. However ... we should not discount the incredibly benefit given to us by nature for which we do no thinking, no work, use no robots & we can not replicate it. Nature itself has a lot to offer, for how much longer we do not know, using energy but not ours, having patterns but none of human design.
@SchiffReport this is why China can't be regarded as a free market any more than a "over-regulated" market for labour & production. China itself is undercutting markets by stealing human capital (imprisonment & killing). This means the "low cost" (nothing is free) of goods from China is not because of a lack of regulation - there is heavy regulation in China in the form of imprisonment & killing that distorts markets. Americans sell their future earnings for today's prices by dealing with China
Wealth is not a wage, wealth as we know it now exists in a fictional construct, where we accept a fiction wage as valuable for our Labour. So when we stop accepting fiat money as valuable there will be a "shock wave" through the fiction construct. it also can be likened to an addiction to a communication technology in that the currency at present is fluid and global. This is our addiction to fiction... We are approaching "PEAK FICTION" very fast.
PT 3 Can you imagine if an alien invasion of Earth happened tonight, everything that humans believe in will suddenly and instantly be rendered void. Thats how feeble we really are. We're just guests on this planet and we're actully detroying it. War is just something that is started by the upper classes and fought between the working classes. Flags and elbems rule our world seldom reason and justice.
PT 2 These people are possesions of the state, not indivduals. Its all very Orwellian. Had to laugh at humans being here for just a fraction of time so far. I think as a whole humans are extremely vain, cursed with a mind. The greatest mystery of the human race is not its desire to destroy itself, but the concept of religion. As if to make some phony sense for all the wrong doing that goes on. Is an gorilla religious? Does he pray?
@manormaid You mention that lots of wrong doing is going on.I'm just curious as to how, without a religion, you decide upon whats right and wrong. A gorilla doesn't pray, but nor does he wear clothes or speak...Why mark out one arbitrary form of behaviour for special praise and not the others?
PT 1 Everything the West has is made in China and other places to the East, laptops, clothes, shoes even bloody toothburshes. I remember watching a documentary about a factory in China. The workers actully worked most of the waking hours and sleep on bunkbeds in billets that were on the factory premises. Depression, misery, unhappiness was among the workers there, some even spoke out, almost going against their own self, that it was unfair and horrible.
Hi JB, here's a book suggestion for you to consider adding to your reading list, which I'm sure is probably already quite full.
It's free if you type into google: "essentials of economics ballve"
Short book, puts a lot of societal and economic concepts into a succinct, logical perspective. The first 50 pages or so I think are relevant to the subject of this video.
I believe scarcity in energy and our ability to feed everyone will bring about very serious problems. Certainly we will see the end of the kind of civilisation we're used to.
On 1 October 1949, they established the People's Republic of China as a socialist state. Since 1949, mainland China is administered by the People's Republic of China—a one-party state under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
Modern day slavery is commonplace where there are no laws against sweatshop labor practices. Out of sight, out of mind, just manufacture the cheap electronic mind & life controlling gadgets that rule the masses. We in the west bemoan the elite & rightfully so in some respects...but we are elitists in our own right, but refuse to see the truth. Your videos make me think JB, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
$200 a barrel of oil will play a big part. food prices will sky rocket, interest rates will increase, many many people will become homeless and unless the people work together society will fall
There is another way to 'create' wealth; by stealing it. That's what the stock market is for (explicitly, if you look a bit) and government (implicitly). Without a complex financial system this kind of theft would be to easy to spot and people wouldn't stand for it. I agree with your assessment on Iran, although I find it quite unlikely that the US will attempt it. As for Japan, its simple; All reactors must be shut down before collapse, otherwise Fukushima will be picnic in comparison. Thx JB
Labour was a limited commodity and to amplify its effect for good, the co-orporation was invented as a tool - it was chartered to be a controlled animal.
As labour numbers grew, the industrialisation of those corporations became a necessity - the animal was unchained.
Now the beast has attained the prominance you describe in Capital vs labour - there was little option.
Globalisation is just the free ranging of the Corporation beast to be able to choose its low paid servants at will.
Nice video JB,one of the problems i have found,is people dont live in a balanced society,or dont know what a balanced society is,which is why it is un-balanced,they are not educated,not because they dont want to be educated,but because certain groups of people at the top,dont want people to Understand,to know whats really going on,the people cant make the real choices.there are two kinds of labour,one is about slavery,the other is about bulding a balanced open society(8parts),watch?v=t5u0xgIDXNA
@CanterburyCat He would certainly try, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that the underlying economic paradigm is broken and totally corrupt. Deconstructing the empire would simply be a small setback on the road towards planetary suicide. Unfortunately I don't think Ron Paul understands this yet. Don't pin your hopes on him doing anything useful before its way way too late.
I disagree a bit on this. Capital is power, simple as that. So when the old chieftain had his people labour for him & his family or the emperor had slaves labour to build a new villa it was capital in the form of force (force projection) and that is what the US dollar is force projection dominating labour. This has always been the case the village brute & priest projected force to get free labour. In an ideal world labour should be evenly distributed on skills & capacity.
@jbyeats Thats exactly my point it has always been this way & on going today, capital is just another word for power projection of the wealthy like royal families who are still in charge today. So capital (extortion/power) has always been put on top of labour. In an ideal world as you say it should be the other way around sadly this is not & has never been the case.
the black swan will be that now that everybody expects a collapse, society wont collapse into chaos but reinvents itself peacefully and remind its creativitys beautiful power. ANTICYCLIK LAWS
What this man is telling you is not accurate,( not to his fault ) I am a mechanic working in Reno, Nv. I repair heavy equipment.( A good paying job for most men) I make less than $40,000 a year! and that is after year's of training! My wage is well above the national average for production and manufacturing job's! most warehouse and factory worker's make even less than is known to most people. what i'm getting at is the perception that most U.S. men and women make " GREAT" money is false...

To summarize, the US caused the 2008 War in South Ossetia. I know this because I was there. How's that? Apologies if I sound perturbed. P.S. People like JBYEATS should be running Ireland. Unfortunately, Ireland's fast becoming a nation of absolute retards. I'll say that again: Ireland's fast becoming a nation of absolute retards.

Yes I agree people like JB should be in office, instead we've been saddled with teachers, farmers and lawyers who see towing the line as a good euro-zone member as their only priority.

@mickoooo123 I spent a few years living in a land mass called Russia, and I can tell you that that land mass has a soul. So do a lot of other places. Ireland used to, in that it was once a very special place. One could feel magic in the air...all one had to do was tune in to one's surroundings. When I was back in Ireland recently, I'd get those same feelings every now and then, but nothing at all like I used to. Maybe they were just memories, I don't know.

@usagoodbyeisayhello I get that feeling everyday in Dublin, I absolutely love it here. Judging by your videos id guess you're in and about thirty. Which means you couldnt really have been here as an adult any earlier than the eighties. Are you telling me it was a special place then and not now? The magic you felt in the air was your own magic, not Irelands.
mickoooo123 9 months ago
@mickoooo123 I'll be 43 next month. I first visited Ireland in 1988. My first port of call outside of Dublin was Westport, Co. Mayo. If felt magical, and I felt like I had come home. It was the Ireland portrayed in books and in film. It was the land which my ancestors had fled from. This was back before forced multiculturalism in Ireland. Perhaps you're too young to remember what it was like? The Troubles aside (I lived in Belfast in 90'), it was a better place than today. Much so.

You raise an interesting point regards modern day feudalism.
International capital is drawn to China because it sees a massive slave / feudal
workforce , directly controlled through a political & economic command structure
of government. They would love to see this model world wide .
They salivate at that prospect. The likes of Soros, Buffett etc openly admit to it , holding
China up as the economic model we all should aspire to.
Many thanks. jb

@jbyeats so instead of thinking that China is on an upward trend, with the standard of living slowly improving, which it is,though im by no means promoting state-dictatorship or exploitation of workers, you would rather see it as the world being on a downward trend, with the global population just few years away from being slaves to a rich few who are going to order us all about and tell us we have to give up our sacred labour to build things that nobody will buy cause we'll be poor slaves?

You are sounding bigoted, and you're conveniently ignoring a large body of history, including the imperialist west and the support that added to the capitalist engine. But regardless, in terms of what is actually transpiring across the globe, you are thinking way too small. There is a coup underway, perpetrated by finance, against nation states. The strategy is to burden by debt and to bankrupt the nations / citizenry, confiscating revenue streams, to return to a global feudal state. Period.

@mickoooo123 Feudal has nothing to do with 1 government, and by hte way, I'm not advocating it, I'm pointing out that's where we're headed. Feudal, like in the dark / middle ages...look up feudalism in a search engine... no links allowed here. wikipedia Feudalism
Ranger4564 9 months ago
@Ranger4564 Yeah classic feudalism relates to land ownership and power derived in that sense. It also didnt emerge as a single definable idea, which is why i dont really get what you mean when you say we're headed there. I dont see how we are and since you wont back up any of your claims with decent examples i just assumed you were adopting the classic anti-capitalist stance which assumes that a tiny rich cabal of international bankers are planning on taking over the world
mickoooo123 9 months ago
@mickoooo123 Don't take the concepts too literally... the point of the traditional feudalism you know was not to tie it to land. It was to tie it to a controlled resource, which only the privileged had access to, and the serfs had to serve those who had the resource. In the historic case, it was property (land). In capitalist terms it is money. In impending future terms, it's money / food / water / shelter / etc, all sorts of things which are related to cost so money.
Ranger4564 9 months ago
The oppressive systems in China and Russia as anywhere else share the same strategy as the oppressive systems that were in place throughout the history of labor in the US also, until labor organized and put in place some protections... the same protections which are being dismantled as we speak. The capitalist system fails precisely because it reinforces the oppression of the productive components of the system. As efficiencies improve, less labor is required leading to more exploitation.
Ranger4564 10 months ago
@Ranger4564
Some fair comments ...
It is impossible to discuss a full history of Capital /Labour relations
within a 15 mins setup . The capitalist system fails on many fronts -
not least its lack of sustainability . ie . -- Most of the money goes up to the top of the
triangle , rather than being distributed in an equitable manner throughout the triangle.
This constantly creates a massive conflict of economic interest which eventually is only
solved through direct action . Thanks jb

@jbyeats Wal mart, capitalism in action. 400 billion in revenues, 16 billion or so profit- which is given to shareholders or ploughed back into the company. a few get very rich, most get an average wage. if its too low they can can complain, make documentaries, leave the company etcetc. Plus if enough people cared or had the ingenuity they could set up a co-op supermarket and keep all the profits themselves.
mickoooo123 9 months ago
Agree with much of what you are saying about capital and labour, but would also like to add land ownership. For hundreds of years, the people of the British Isles have been methodically robbed of their lands and natural resources. There were the "Highland Clearances" and "Enclosure Acts" that forced people off the land and into towns and cities where they were forced to work in factories for slave wages.

Thanks JB. Your musings once again reinforce the notion that this game, of life, needs to played with your head on your shoulders. I have tried to figure out how one works around the capital consolidation issue, which is what ultimately skews the capital/labor balance in capital's favor, Marx says it is an inevitability of capitalism. The game needs smarter actors to continue in any sustainable fashion, or needs to reset naturally so that the setbacks don't result in social calamity.

Hi Navy, Good to hear from you.
Indeed as you say - cool heads are definitely required.
The Capital Consolidation issue is one of the key issues in our society.
It is central to the elites overall philosophy . Monetary power acquired through
generational gains is almost akin to a form of Commercial Monarchy.
We can witness that today , where many large scale companies & investment funds
have more economic power than many Nation States .

Where it all goes is really anyones guess - but in its present form ,

at least in any meaningful form.
I fear some form of accidental social chaos brought about by economic
contradictions or deliberate large scale war - as the most likely scenarios.
I hate to be so pessimistic - but events are accelerating in that direction .

Yet it grows without any sowing or weeding or fertlizer, I accept that it needs cut and seasoned etc but that leads me to me main point, what is labour? Does it mean an activity that involves effort? Pain? Frustration? Can valuable things not be created through joy? Do you not enjoy gardening? As I am sure you agree words are powerful, more powerful than I can imagine and contain more than just their surface meaning... so what is work?

JB,
When you say that valuable things can only be created by human labour I can't help thinking about the gorse that is being destroyed across this land. For thousands of years the people of this island used it as firewood which from experience is a fantastic fuel for the stove, It also feed their livestock, Gorse has up to half the protein of oats.It is also an incredibly important source of food for bees.
It is a legume which means it actually improves the soiI, I could go on.

@jbyeats Capital & Labour are both incredibly important. However ... we should not discount the incredibly benefit given to us by nature for which we do no thinking, no work, use no robots & we can not replicate it. Nature itself has a lot to offer, for how much longer we do not know, using energy but not ours, having patterns but none of human design.

@SchiffReport this is why China can't be regarded as a free market any more than a "over-regulated" market for labour & production. China itself is undercutting markets by stealing human capital (imprisonment & killing). This means the "low cost" (nothing is free) of goods from China is not because of a lack of regulation - there is heavy regulation in China in the form of imprisonment & killing that distorts markets. Americans sell their future earnings for today's prices by dealing with China

you are the voice of reason and real debate. i agree that labor is highly under-valued,
it can only be re-evaluted through collective action.
frankly, people will will always work at cross purposes. sad but true.

You have mentioned a key issue in ' collective action '
Capital always acts in consort - it rarely acts alone.
Think of a large company and the number of board meetings , the number
of ongoing management meetings - which take place week after week.
Labour is denied such activity - IT IS LABELLED AS SEDITIOUS or
CONSPIRATORIAL -when they hold meetings to defend their rights.

Wealth is not a wage, wealth as we know it now exists in a fictional construct, where we accept a fiction wage as valuable for our Labour. So when we stop accepting fiat money as valuable there will be a "shock wave" through the fiction construct. it also can be likened to an addiction to a communication technology in that the currency at present is fluid and global. This is our addiction to fiction... We are approaching "PEAK FICTION" very fast.

Depression, misery, unhappiness was among the workers there, some even spoke out, almost going against their own self, that it was unfair and horrible.

Hi JB, here's a book suggestion for you to consider adding to your reading list, which I'm sure is probably already quite full.
It's free if you type into google: "essentials of economics ballve"

There is another way to 'create' wealth; by stealing it. That's what the stock market is for (explicitly, if you look a bit) and government (implicitly). Without a complex financial system this kind of theft would be to easy to spot and people wouldn't stand for it. I agree with your assessment on Iran, although I find it quite unlikely that the US will attempt it. As for Japan, its simple; All reactors must be shut down before collapse, otherwise Fukushima will be picnic in comparison. Thx JB

Labour was a limited commodity and to amplify its effect for good, the co-orporation was invented as a tool - it was chartered to be a controlled animal.
As labour numbers grew, the industrialisation of those corporations became a necessity - the animal was unchained.
Now the beast has attained the prominance you describe in Capital vs labour - there was little option.
Globalisation is just the free ranging of the Corporation beast to be able to choose its low paid servants at will.

I disagree a bit on this. Capital is power, simple as that. So when the old chieftain had his people labour for him & his family or the emperor had slaves labour to build a new villa it was capital in the form of force (force projection) and that is what the US dollar is force projection dominating labour. This has always been the case the village brute & priest projected force to get free labour. In an ideal world labour should be evenly distributed on skills & capacity.

NO power & generally are unable to understand its workings anyway --
Mainly due to lack of education . Here in Ireland we are told - the top 1%
of society own 34% of the total wealth . Is this sustainable ?
Is this to the advantage of Irish society at large?I think not

@jbyeats Thats exactly my point it has always been this way & on going today, capital is just another word for power projection of the wealthy like royal families who are still in charge today.
