Debt: The First 5,000 Years

Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it

Gov. Rick Perry: Texas Could Secede, Leave Union

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall -- one of three tea parties he was attending across the state -- that officials in Washington have abandoned the country's founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.

Doubts on Saudi Capacity May Keep Oil Volatile

Oil prices are likely to remain volatile over the next year, analysts say, amid worries that Saudi Arabia has become less able to pump the global market out of any extraordinary disruptions to supply.

Saudi Arabia and some smaller Gulf oil producers have stepped in to cover recent shortfalls, but analysts are increasingly skeptical about whether these countries have the capacity to shield Western consumers against a new oil shock.

"The cushion to cope with supply shortfalls looks uncomfortably thin, especially in light of heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East and Africa," Deutsche Bank said in a report Friday.

Proff Kjell Aleklett - Will Saudi Arabia Become an Oil Importer by 2030?

Economist Richard Duncan: Civilization May Not Survive 'Death Spiral'

Richard Duncan, formerly of the World Bank and chief economist at Blackhorse Asset Mgmt., says America's $16 trillion federal debt has escalated into a "death spiral, "as he told CNBC. 

And it could result in a depression so severe that he doesn't "think our civilization could survive it."

And Duncan is not alone in warning that the U.S. economy may go into a "death spiral." 

Since the recession, noted economists including Laurence Kotlikoff, a former member of President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, have come to similar conclusions. 

Kotlikoff estimates the true fiscal gap is $211 trillion when unfunded entitlements like Social Security and Medicare are included. 

However, while the debt crisis numbers are well known to most Americans, the economy hasn't suffered a major correction for almost 4 years.

So the questions remain: Is the threat of collapse for real? And if so, when? 

A team of scientists, economists, and geopolitical analysts believes they have proof that the threat is indeed real - and the danger imminent. 

One member of this team, Chris Martenson, a pathologist and former VP of a Fortune 300 company, explains their findings:

"We found an identical pattern in our debt, total credit market, and money supply that guaranteesthey're going to fail. This pattern is nearly the same as in any pyramid scheme, one that escalates exponentially fast before it collapses. Governments around the globe are chiefly responsible.

Peak Oil nu i mainsteam media

Detta skriver nu altså Bloombergs och refererar i sin tur till en analys gjord av Citygroup.

Det är bara 18 år kvar till 2030....

“If Saudi Arabian oil consumption grows in line with peak power demand, the country could be a net oil importer by 2030,”Heidy Rehman, an analyst at the bank, wrote. The country already consumes all its natural-gas production and plans to develop nuclear power, which pose execution risk amid a lack of available experts, safety issues and cost overruns, Rehman said.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-04/saudi-arabia-may-become-oil-importer-by-2030-citigroup-says-1-.html

 

Den bakomliggande analysen som visar detta är en model utvecklad av en ameikansk energi expert som heter Jeffry Brown och hans modell kallas "Export Land Model" eller förkortat ELM. I korthet innebär det faktum att produktionen av sk konventionell olja redan har nått sin topp 2006 (se videon nedan) och i de flesta länder och regionen även börjat att gå ned år från år samtidigt som de oljeproducerande ländernas inhemska oljekonsumtionmer eller mindre exploderar.

Om man tar de största olje procuderande länderna sammantaget dvs Ryssland, Opec, Venezuela och Mexico som komsumerar bara dessa länder mer än dubbelt det som Kina konsumerar per år. Och i takt med att standarnden och generella tillväxten i dessa dessa ekonomier nu byggs ut i vissa fall tämligen aggressivt så kommer den ihemska konsumtionen öka än mer i framtiden. Kombinationen minskad konsumtion med okad inhemsk konsumtion gör att det som faktiskt blir kvar att exportera går ner i en fantastiskt snabb takt kommande decennier.
