marginal productivity of debt is now negative

"In view of the fact that the marginal productivity of debt is now negative
we can see that the damage-control measures of the Obama administration,
which are financed through creating unprecedented amounts of new debt,
are counter-productive. Nay, they are the direct cause of further
economic contraction of an already prostrate economy, including unemployment."



"It follows that price rises are unsustainable, as the consumer is unable to pay them.
As a consequence the retail and wholesale merchants are also squeezed. They have to retrench.

Pressure from vanishing demand is passed on further to the producers who have to retrench as well.

All of them are experiencing an ebb in their operating cash flow.

They lay off more people, aggravating the crisis further as cash in the hand of the consumers is
diminished even more through increased unemployment.

The vicious spiral is on."

For those of you who have never read Antel Fekete let me just say this.
I have read him for over a decade and he is spot on in his analysis.

With the information in this one article you now have a bright lamp
to light the dark closet of economics.

Your policiticians were and are the cause of the global economic destruction.

Therefore any and all attempts by the governments of the world to
try to stop the economic meltdown has the same effect
a playing russian roulette with a bolt action rifle.
 Quoting: Kingman-Art


A very interesting read. Thank you for this thread.

I am in no way an expert on this whole financial picture, but than with all the counter-productive measures by pumping in more money in this ocean of debt, it makes you wonder who is an expert when it comes to solutions.

It is I guess like in every business, when things go from bad to worse, the so called experts tend to try and find solutions in their specific line of business, instead of trying to think out of the box. If you translate that to the business we call our global economy, this behaviour gives you an insight in what shape we are when it comes to solutions.

There are none, because these financial "experts" like Bernanke and Geithner and the likes of Sarkozy and Merkel can only think in financial solutions and their most favorite one is to pump in more debt to buy time, force fake static budget cuts on to society, stare at the sky and hope things get better. But in that respect hope is for suckers.

So, unless they accept input from an "Einstein"-like genius (if there is anyone with that genius at all), there is no other way than that the whole financial and social system will zero out. Just in time has in that respect become just too late. A war won't change things. If the line of thinking throughout the system does not change, the problem will still exist after any war, probably even gotten worse.

This about sums up the "solution strenght" of our so called experts:

just in time is definitely going to be very damaging.

it is interesting that a year ago CNBC was extolling the virtue of just in time and how the US companies were so efficient it wasn't going to result in huge layoffs like in other slow downs. guess what? they were right! we're going to go straight to shut downs.

it is not pretty and i cannot see anything that will save the US, aside from a war.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 521026

The problem is of such a nature that a war... a real big war would not do anything to fix the problem.
It would make it worse.

The current cycle most likely peaked in 1999 with a possible winter phase beginning in late 2008. The Austrian-school economists point out that extreme price inflation in the absence of economic growth is a form of capital destruction, allowing either stagflation (as in the 1970s and much of the 2000s during the gold and oil price run-ups) or deflation (as in the 1930s and possibly following the crash in commodity prices beginning in 2008) to represent a recession or depression phase of the Kondratieff theory.


WINTER PHASE BEGINNING IN LATE 2008....
which is where we are today.
 Quoting: Kingman-Art


OP, I have read about the Kondratiev Winter that we are approaching and I agree with, however, I personally believe the entire thing is much bigger than just the Kondratiev wave theory. I believe the Mayans are also correct and we are at the end of an age, this has spiritual implications that I believe are far more important than the economic ones. What do you think?

There is more than one way to do it. Unfortunately, most Christians believe they are in an exclusive group just like the jewish people and the Muslims and only they are the choosen ones(which has caused most of the problems in the world). These 3 Abrahamic religions have been responsible for most of the wars, hate, killing, rape, pedophilia, etc. that has occurred on planet earth for the last 2,000 yrs. or so. Let's start with the early Catholic church and the fusion w/ the roman empire resulting in the Inquisition, Reformation, Holy Wars, and now the ultimate Holy War which will be WW3. Do you really think Christ would have wanted it this way. I don't, the kingdom of heaven is within all of us if we will only look, no matter our race, color, creed, religion or sex.

Re: The economic problem is this: Updated last page 17
Interesting theory, but remember this still places responsibility on ECONOMIC THEORY that is the better part of a century old, and every ECONOMIC THEORY has at least 3 contrasting theories to show that the theory is wrong, and each of those contrasting theories have multiple theories explaining why those theories are wrong about the original theory which they contend is wrong but for another reason.

It may be easier to place the global economic crisis on the theory that human beings are no better than parasites.

Individually, all human beings have positive aspects, but as a mass worsen exponentially.

Consider the following:

Hypothesis - a proposed explanation for a phenomenon

Theory - analytical tools for understanding, explaining, and making predictions about a given subject matter.

Law - established principles thought to be universal and invariable


Economist always like to propose THEORIES. Yet Business prefers to stick to LAWS

Consider the Laws of Supply and Demand and modern social conditioning. Most store brands are manufactured in the same mill at the same time as a name product. For example Sam's Choice Toilet paper in manufactured by Georgia Pacific at the same time GP produces Angel Soft. Social conditioning steers consumers away from store brands as they are products for a lower class of people, yet they are identical products, but then you have the Cottonelle purchasers that just prefer the feel on the rosebud.

Humans being are not in harmony with the world, and history has shown that they will strip the Earth of Natural Resources until there is nothing left. It is the way of humans, with the natural world, and the world they created. Human Beings want choice, and they want what makes them appear the best, as with the Toilet Paper example, it just proves that Human Beings are full of shit.

I digressed from my point, but it was necessary.

The main idea is that Economic Theories are great in theory, but they are for the most part impractical. technology has grown faster than the economy and usurped any relevance to the real world. Considering that most economic theories were postulated when the author could not even conceive of someone flying Wagyu Beef from Japan, Stone Crab from Miami, Lobster from Maine, Snow Crab from Alaska, Pineapple from Hawaii and Caviar from Russia for a dinner party tomorrow all while social networking with their suppliers on a computer the size of a billfold.

It is more likely that the Global Economic Crisis has little to do with cycles of fluctuation, rather it is a result ignoring the need for sustainable resources. Society has pushed toward making money off of buying and selling, unfortunately very few are making any products to sell.

Major agreement, except in that it seems you're thinking that the physical/current events are happening independently or along-side of the spiritual events...

I purpose this: ALL physical/current events happen along-with spiritual... or even follow spiritual evolution.

Eg. The internet is the physical manifestation of our consciousness. (If you understand that statement, w/out explanation.)

SO... this economic event that is occurring, is just a manifestation of the evolution of consciousness.

I'm not sure where that evolution is going to take us, but the fact is, it is changing/evolving and the events that are taking place, ie. our economic collapse, is nothing more than the physical manifestation of that change.

Nothing to be concerned about, unless you are able to only identify with the physical and not the spiritual.
