Connecting the dots - the geopolitical constituency, the players, whom the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle supports ... So while I'm in dot-connecting mode, thought I'd go back through the archives looking for a post whose context may not have been understood at the time. The post I was searching for was a reply to el_gaverio, from last September actually. In a previous post, he had commented: ((Alan Greenspan ... is an instrument of the powers that be and is only responding to pressure ... My disagreement with you is the source of the pressure ... You talk about "capitalist elites." Perhaps you should be more precise here.)) And the following post was my reply: Message 19340473 If anyone wants to time travel, and see how this same structural dilemma played out in terms of monetary mechanics in the 1920's and '30s, and the consequent unraveling of the gold standard, I again highly recommend the epic 1,300+ page tome Tragedy and Hope, written in 1964 by Professor Carroll Quigley. A fascinating read. Sorry for the "contextual" posts. Will try to stick to more "economic" focused posts from here on in. Regards, Glenn
