But sixty years later, with worsening poverty and a deepening environmental crisis, the global economic system and the UN's capacity seem tragically flawed. Fundamental change is urgent to assure the future of human life on the planet.

This is yet another example of one of the greatest tension points of globalization resistance of the body politic to the structural reforms necessary for economic revitalization and cross-border integration. Yet there is great debate over how to pull this off. The reforms of globalization shake the social contracts that bind nations together leading to recurring clashes between capital, labor, and deeply entrenched political power structures. A globalized world must come up with a new model of the political economy. Germany is struggling mightily with just such a challenge. But it is hardly alone.

Culture RESOURCES: Bloomberg TV Bloomberg Radio Markets Economies E-Mail This Story Printer-Friendly Format Fed's Greenspan Says Speculation Having `Greater Role' in U.S. Home Prices Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said speculative buying may be driving up housing prices and creating a risk for the U.S. economy because so many Americans rely on home appreciation to support their spending. The so-called froth in housing markets may now be spilling over into mortgage markets, Greenspan said in a speech to the American Bankers Association annual convention in Palm Desert, California. The abundance of interest-only loans and ``exotic'' variable-rate mortgages ``are developments that bear close scrutiny,'' he said. The unconventional mortgages are letting buyers who barely qualify purchase homes at inflated prices, and a slump in price gains may lead to losses for both borrowers and lenders, Greenspan said. The risk to the economy is magnified because about half the money consumers pull out of their homes when refinancing is used for consumption or repayment of debts. ``In the event of a widespread cooling in house prices, these borrowers, and the institutions that service them, could be exposed to significant losses,'' Greenspan said. Any retraction in sales or refinancing raises the risk of an ``adjustment'' in overall spending. How much is an ``open question,'' he said.

In their hands it is the magic wand designed to conjure away the scarcity of capital goods, to lower the rate of interest or to abolish it altogether, to finance lavish government spending, to expropriate the capitalists, to contrive everlasting booms, and to make everybody prosperous." - Ludwig von Mises It was a cold, dreary autumn day at the central bank. The clocks struck 13. It was another reminder to visitors that all is possible in the neo-Keynesian puzzle palace. For he who controls the money controls the man. It seems central bankers and their allies still believe all things good flow from credit expansion. They create fancy equations and theorems to justify and rationalize their forays into the free market. It's simply inflationism - which is the essence of Keynesian economics - built upon an elaborate structure of pseudo-science. George Orwell once said, "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing." Sadly, the modern central bank believed him - and the big news this week is the adjustment of interest rates in China.

"The complexity of our economy is such ... that you essentially get very complex differences in the way monetary policy plays out, but at the end of the day it does seem to be effective," Greenspan told the Senate Banking Committee. Seeking to avert the first recession in 11 years, the Fed has cut interest rates six times this year, totaling 2.75 percentage points. It has been the most aggressive credit-easing campaign in nearly two decades. The Fed meets next on August 21 and many economists believe policy-makers will cut rates for a seventh time, probably by a more conservative quarter-point.

He is with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. It's perfectly possible to have both sustained economic growth and low inflation. The only thing needed is a dose of good government-monetary policy on the one hand and fiscal and regulatory policy on the other. In monetary policy, the Federal Reserve must terminate its tendency to swing widely from one extreme of monetary growth to the other. In the last year, this has caused wild swings in interest rates and dramatic downs and ups in the economy. If this erratic policy were to continue, it would be impossible to achieve steady growth with low inflation. Controlling the growth of money is important because, ultimately, inflation is a monetary phenomenon - nothing else. If you control growth of the money supply, you control inflation, if you do not, inflation cannot be limited. Secondly, this control is important

115. Monetary Policy That central banks attempt influence the economy through monetary is a given. In any event, insights into monetary policy are very important to the investor http://www.finpipe.com/monpol.htm

Monetary Policy Monetary policy is one of the tools that a national Government uses to influence its economy. Using its monetary authority to control the supply and availablity of money, a government attempts to influence the overall level of economic activity in line with its political objectives. Usually this goal is "macroeconomic stability" - low unemployment, low inflation, economic growth, and a balance of external payments. Monetary policy is usually administered by a Government appointed "Central Bank", the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States. Central banks have not always existed. In early economies, governments would supply currency by minting precious metals with their stamp. No matter what the creditworthiness of the government, the worth of the currency depended on the value of its underlying precious metal. A coin was worth its gold or silver content, as it could always be melted down to this. A country's worth and economic clout was largely to its holdings of gold and silver in the national treasury. Monarchs, despots and even democrats tried to skirt this inviolate law by filing down their coinage or mixing in other substances to make more coins out of the same amount of gold or silver. They were inevitably found out by the traders, money lenders and others who depended on the worth of that currency. This the reason that movies show pirates and thieves biting Spanish dubloons to ascertain the value of their booty and loot.
