PANIC DECLARED Empty store shelves, gas pumps, ATMs ahead -

10-10-2008 16:23

The Rise of the Finance Economy and Fall of Manufacturing
Forget debating a 1929-style stock crash. It just happened, and the banking "holiday," if it happens, won't wait 4 years as it did in the Depression because THIS crisis started with banking. If it weren't for World War II, we would still be in the Depression. Capitalism as we have known it is dead -- Bush & Co. are proving it by socializing the insurer AIG and talk of buying into banks, etc. Our only hope that the finance and service economy (see chart) would take up the slack left by the end of WWII. But the finance economy just failed. The tech (computer) industry is sure to follow its partner down the drain. Empty store shelves and unavailability of cash to you as well as businesses are possibilities we deal with here.
