This document provides a summary of major systemic risks in the global economy as seen by the author. It discusses how systemic risk was transferred from the private sector to governments and how investors are engaging in "cognitive dissonance" by acknowledging past excesses but preventing rational deleveraging. The author outlines several fault lines including aggressive monetary policies, the risks of zero interest rate policies, the limits of deficit spending, and debt levels around the world. While opportunities still exist, the author advises exercising caution given expected volatility in 2011.

Alternative Currencies: The Solution to the Economic Crisis?Brian McConnell
"What is now being called the 'Great Recession' shows no sign of ending either in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world. What then should be done? In many locations people are increasingly turning to creation of alternative currencies. But can these really be effective?
This and many other questions will be addressed by Richard C. Cook, author and retired U.S. Treasury analyst."
As a resident of Roanoke and director of the Peace Spiritual Center, Richard brings a wealth of information and an open-eyed critique of the most discussed solutions as well as examples from both ancient and recent history.
In a speech following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and in the midst of the accompanying U.S. recession, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan made a declaration that turned the world of the investment bankers upside down. Greenspan declared that the FOMC (Federal Open Markets Committee) stood prepared to maintain a highly accommodative policy stance for as long as needed to promote satisfactory economic performance. Translated from central banker speak, what Greenspan meant is that he is willing to inflate the money supply and hence lower interest rates for as long as necessary to “revive” the economy and repair it from the shock it received on that fateful day. What this meant for investors in the U.S. Treasury bond market is that they were not going to make any money on U.S. treasury securities for a very long time. Smart investors, diverted from the bond market, scanned Wall Street for a similar low-risk, high-return investment that could take the place of U.S. Treasury securities, and they fell in love with residential mortgages. On September 18, 2008, after months of economic anxiety and several massive bailouts of distressed firms by the government, the stock market had its largest single-day drop since September 11, 2001. Officials and commentators declared an economic emergency and moved on two fronts. The Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") dusted off a 1932 statute and invoked the Fed's authority to stabilize failing firms by lending them money, although some were allowed to fail.

Meltdown presentation atca full master Mike HaywardEd Dodds
Mike Hayward: With the help of DK, I have redrafted my Meltdown presentation to be suitable for an International Audience and it is attached below. I have already given this talk at several UK universities with more to come. It is designed multidisciplinary audiences so it is not too technical and is richly illustrated. Please feel free to use and adapt the presentation to suit your own needs and viewpoint. My name is not mentioned in the presentation. The subject is too important to claim authorship or credit.
Summary...... The global debt mountain, peak oil, population growth, resource depletion, population growth, the pension time bomb and climate change are all interconnected.
Meltdown did not occur in October 2008, but we were within 4 hours of it happening. It has only been deferred. Remember, only 3 dozen economists correctly predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, out of a profession of 20,000 members. Not one of the World politicians and Central Bankers saw the crisis coming, but all of them claim to know the remedy. The reasons for the 2008 crash have not gone away. The US housing market is still in freefall and US and European Banks are becoming increasingly insolvent, although they won't admit it. Economic growth will be stifled by rising oil prices. The bailouts are not working. World Politicians, Bankers and Economists are trying to maintain the status quo but they are losing control. Fundamentally, the real systemic causes of the crisis are rarely discussed with transparency and have not been addressed. Fractional Reserve Banking and universal public ignorance of banking practices are the cause of all the our global problems.
The collapse will happen within the next couple of years. The Eurozone or USA will most probably be the epicentre. The interconnectivity of the financial system means we will all be affected. What happens next after the collapse is impossible to predict. History is replete with examples but not on a Global scale. Massive political unrest will prevail. There will be a rise in popularity of extreme left and right political parties.

World crisis of 2008 and its economic, social and geopolitical consequencesFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to identify the causes of the global economic and financial crisis of 2008, tracing the economic and social scenarios and global geopolitical changes resulting from the crisis. The methodology consisted in the analysis of publications related to the global economic and financial crisis and its consequences. The result of the studies indicated that the global economic and financial crisis of 2008 will be prolonged and that it may result in the advent of a new world order, the decline of the US and the rise of China as a major economic power in the world.
The Benefits of a Public Bank for New York State; the Derivatives explosion (nominal value of $1.2 quadrillion); The joint FDIC-Bank of England Proposal to forcibly swap deposits (incl. state deposits) for equity in a failing bank; The Public Banking model based on the Bank of North Dakota; The specific state bill for New York state; What the Fed can and can't (or won't) do to save municipalities
A disturbing fact becomes more and more obvious: The governments of the both the U.S. and most of the Eurozone member countries are about to overstrain their debt servicing capacity.
For individuals, organizations, and countries that have so far regarded the currencies of these countries as reliable storages of value, news could hardly be more alarming: Evidence is rapidly piling up that the debtor governments involved intend to rid themselves of their unsustainable debt largely at the expense of their creditors. This could be effectuated either through a sudden expropriation of lenders (nowadays euphemistically referred to as a “haircut”), or by means of a gradual dispossession through a deliberately induced devaluation.
However, investors currently holding large amounts of Dollar-, or Euro-denominated reserves, do not yet have to resign to the fate of seeing their wealth evaporate through arbitrary acts of governments they had trusted for long. In the document to this message, I have sought to specify some of the basic principles prudent investors should heed in order to protect their wealth from the impending world economic crisis. You may copy and circulate it freely, but would do me a huge favour if you could do so with a reference to my authorship. And, of course, any opportunity you could grant to me to carry its message further afield in person would be most welcome.

Western governments are hopelessly addicted to deficit financing while refusing to address looming funding issues - with apologies to the embarrassingly foolish Angela Merkel, politicians can no more successfully “battle” the markets than you and I can successfully “battle” gravity. Petrocapita is an investment trust built around the premise that demand for energy will continue to move prices higher over the long-term. Petrocapita was created to allow investors to add professionally managed oil & gas assets directly to their portfolios.

The world has not learned the lessons of the financial crisisBan.docxpelise1
The world has not learned the lessons of the financial crisis
Banks are safer, but too much of what has gone wrong since 2008 could happen again
WHEN historians gaze back at the early 21st century, they will identify two seismic shocks. The first was the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the second the global financial crisis, which boiled over ten years ago this month with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. September 11th led to wars, Lehman’s bankruptcy to an economic and political reckoning. Just as the fighting continues, so the reckoning is far from over.
Lehman failed after losing money on toxic loans and securities linked to America’s property market. Its bankruptcy unleashed chaos. Trade fell in every country on which the World Trade Organization reports. Credit supplied to the real economy fell, by perhaps $2trn in America alone. To limit their indebtedness, governments resorted to austerity. Having exhausted the scope to cut interest rates, central bankers turned to quantitative easing (creating money to buy bonds).
Just as the causes of the financial crisis were many and varied, so were its consequences. It turbocharged today’s populist surge, raising questions about income inequality, job insecurity and globalization. But it also changed the financial system. The question is: did it change it enough?
To splurge is human
One way—the wrong way—to judge progress would be to expect an end to financial crises. Systemic banking meltdowns are a feature of human history. The IMF has counted 124 of them between 1970 and 2007. There is no question that they will occur again, if only because good times breed complacency. Consider that the Trump administration is deregulating finance during an economic boom and that the Federal Reserve has not yet raised counter-cyclical capital requirements. Even when prudence prevails, no regulator is a perfect judge of risk.
A better test is whether the likelihood and size of crises can be reduced. On that, the news is both good and bad.
First, the good. Banks must now fund themselves with more equity and less debt. They depend less on trading to make money and on short-term wholesale borrowing to finance their activities. Even in Europe, where few banks make large profits, the system as a whole is stronger than it was. Regulators have beefed up their oversight, especially of the largest institutions that are too big to fail. On both sides of the Atlantic banks are subject to regular stress tests and must submit plans for their own orderly demise. Derivatives markets of the type that felled AIG, an insurer, are smaller and safer. Revamped pay policies should prevent a repeat of the injustice of bankers taking public money while pocketing huge pay-packets—in 2009 staff at the five biggest banks trousered $114bn.
Yet many lessons have gone unlearned. Take, for example, policymakers’ mistakes in the aftermath of the crisis. The state had no choice but to stand behind failing banks, but it took the ill.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

Bass cognitive dissonance

February 14, 2011
The Cognitive Dissonance of it All
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only
recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
‐ Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.
Dear Investors:
We continue to be very concerned about systemic risk in the global economy. Thus far, the systemic risk that
was prevalent in the global credit markets in 2007 and 2008 has not subsided; rather, it has simply been
transferred from the private sector to the public sector. We are currently in the midst of a cyclical upswing
driven by the most aggressively pro‐cyclical fiscal and monetary policies the world has ever seen. Investors
around the world are engaging in an acute and severe cognitive dissonance. They acknowledge that excessive
leverage created an asset bubble of generational proportions, but they do everything possible to prevent
rational deleveraging. Interestingly, equities continue to march higher in the face of European sovereign
spreads remaining near their widest levels since the crisis began. It is eerily similar to July 2007, when equities
continued higher as credit markets began to collapse. This letter outlines the major systemic fault lines which
we believe all investors should consider. Specifically, we address the following:
• Who is Mixing the Kool‐Aid? (Know your Central Bankers)
• The Zero‐Interest‐Rate‐Policy Trap
• The Keynesian Endpoint – Where Deficit Spending and Fiscal Stimulus Break Down
• Japan – What Other Macro Players have Missed and the Coming of “X‐Day”
• Will Germany Go All‐In, or is the Price Too High?
• An Update on Iceland and Greece
• Does Debt Matter?
While good investment opportunities still exist, investors need to exercise caution and particular care with
respect to investment decisions. We expect that 2011 will be yet another very interesting year.
