    becasue they wish to steal, plunder and destroy us.

    You don’t enlighten the slave to the fact he’s enslvaed … you merely enslave him without him knowing or suspecting it.

    Mhmmm, and I’m sure you’re a genius that knows everything.

    I apologize to you on a personal level. On an esoteric level I believe you would agree with me,(maybe not the bolvin heads)

  4. TheTopBloke says:

    No need to apologize, just elaborate on your point. Nouriel Roubini from NYU made a good call on it. Ferguson is a historian with a wealth of insight. Guys like Rogers and Soros and Schiff aren’t the average financial planner.There are economic theories from different schools. Most of the world these days operates on a Keynesian system.

    hey cani8gr8fag8, that’s exactly what i said when i fucked your ugly mum in the arse. Sucked in. Just returning the compliment Paki.

    You don’t agree with modern economic thought? Great. What exactly don’t you agree with and why? Maybe you have a unique idea of your own that we can all benefit from. However, until you learn how to express yourself on a point by point basis few will listen to what you have to say. Your sweeping generalizations about academic elite do absolutely nothing to change public perception.

    Its real easy to sit behind a computer and flame. Its also real cowardly.

    Why does anyone think that infinite growth is possible on a finite planet?

  13. Nuanceqwest says:

    Human beings have advanced so much. What’s to say that we cannot do it in future.

    Sure we could have another 10-50 years of hardship but mankind will rise again. No one can take away, as far as I can see, the techonological gains we have made and we will build on that.

    Mankind will live better in 100 years than they do now.

    screw those cocksuckers who studied business and hoped to land a job with six figure salary in an investment bank

    You shouldn’t hate someone just because they are soulless. It’s too common to hate.

    @MrPontiusPilate
    Easy there friends. We’re all not souless coucksuckers k. I know you haven’t yet, but read his book then rant on Youtube.

  20. MrPontiusPilate says:

    You are a soulless cocksucker and you know it. Just kidding. No, I’ve never read his book but I watched his entire Finance series. It was actually pretty informative and entertaining.

    This guy says that the Chinese may start buying copper instead of currency’s !

    That says it all.

    harvard professors are notorious for giving horrible snapshots of any markets. a year ago Harvard lost %30+ in their investment portfolio, plus another 40% on something else…..and both were run by faculty, not some student organization thing. this guy was probably one of them.
