<system collapses of its own fundamental decrepedness.>

Yes, a "capitalist" version of the Soviet collapse I suppose?

The aspect of this political economy that I've really wondered about is: who are the criminal enterprise apparatchiks
dictionary.reference.com
who run it? Where did they come from? Who put them in place? For example, how did a wild, deceitful guy like Ben Bernanke get his appointment? Or Franklin Raines? Then how does the Ministry of Propaganda mechanism support them, and give them credibility? The behind the scenes, back room dealings, would be quite another "most interesting" story. For guidance one could perhaps read the Pendergast episode, or perhaps Albert Speer's "Inside the Third Reich"? Maybe "The Godfather" fits better, hard to say? What have you located? And yes, feel free to tie the political economy thesis into the topic of this thread, it should be explored for sure.
