Alan Zoff Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What a relief. It's Peston's fault - or Gluestick's - and not mine after all. Ever since someone posted on the Forum that I was responsible for driving down house prices, etc by making negative comments about the outlook for the economy (what power this Forum has), I have had such an enormous guilt complex.Fast reporting by Peston meant he got the story out first. Which has made him famous. But Peston is not the story. In fact, I would put him amongst those least responsible - the banks, city slickers, heads of government, so-called regulators and the greedy, lazy, gullible general public come well ahead in the blame queue for this mess.

Pierre ZFP Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just received this from someone who works for a Far East hedgefund "Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more ofexpensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and moreexpensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt willlead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and theState will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism" So who is it quoting? A hedgefund manager? A world bank CEO? Flash Gordon?No Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It is false: Marx never made such a statement in Das Kapital.http://www.bibliomania.com/2/1/261/1294/frameset.htmlApparently this round robin is being passed around by investment bankers, whilst they are planning which economy to ruin next...................[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baypond Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi,I try to be fairly simplistic about these things. Take a look at the USA, and that is pretty much where we will be in 6 to 12 months time. The one main difference for banks in the UK is that they have massive liabilities in Europe and the US that isn't working in reverse. This means that a bank like The Royal Bank of Scotland has large exposure to the US mortgage market, but of even more concern is that the RBS paid £67bn for ABN AMRO and has massive EUR liabilities that are becoming more expensive in GBP terms to cover as £ depreciates. (They wrote down £23 billion this week against the fall in value of ABN). In the event the UK takes full ownership, the UK tax payer will effectively be taking on liabilities that originated under Dutch ownership. IE UK PLC is has taken a share of bailing out the US and Europe.Sterling has not finished, but the foreign liabilities and low interest rates mean that current levels are not seen as sufficient to balance supply and demand.
