About Oligarchic malefeasance. More importantly, right under your nose, this little bit of news illustrates how it all begins. make no mistake, within the context of Oligarchic malefeasance, demand creates its own supply. US currency situation is a result of the exact kind of behavior that is illustrated by the story below. N. Koreans Abandon Worthless Won for Yuan North Koreans in the border area with China have abandoned the won since a shock currency reform, Internet broadcaster Open Radio for North Korea reported. The regime in November suddenly introduced a new won at an exchange rate of 100:1 to the old currency, a move which instead of curbing inflation sent it sky-high. The broadcaster quoted a North Korean source as saying North Korean banknotes are nothing but pieces of paper, and almost all goods are traded in yuan. "Not even cart pushers would accept won for their work," the source said. Having watched their new currency plummet in value over less than a month after the reform, North Korean residents realized that the yuan is a safer asset, the station added.

Balkanization. When the going stops being good, the members of groups think about how they should proceed. When the going is good, there is taxes to sen to the more poor and some equalization is done by the central government. Once going is no longer good, the poorer are left to fight for themselves. China: Deng changed the economic model not to disappear as USSR. Yugoslavia: just settle their accounts. Indonesia: as the bags of rice stopped coming to the far flung islands, they went to each other throats. Europe and US the two big chunks banded together will have to sort themselves out as the going is no longer good. Et Pluribus Pluribus
