Obama sign the LAW for a financial reform package
Obama finally has put his signature on the reform of finance and said that “We think about the people not to large banks” the Regulation is today a real Law, a triumph for the President.
He clearly stated that “No one will pay more for Wall Street”.
A package of measures that will result in the more financial protections in history with a new authority which will have a single task: the objective will be to protect the people, not the big banks, not the companies of loans.
This is not only good only for the people, is good also for the economy, as Obama has recognized, the financial industry is the core for growth and prosperity of a country, the reform will help to give to all the same rules, to encourage competition in prices and quality, not tricks and traps.
The supervision must be careful Americans must make… Continue reading
The Debt and The Power (part 2)
The States retained the right to coin money, for centuries the coins have been made in real metal and their value was always linked to the price of the metal of which have been made of.
The trick of issuing a currency that contains a number of precious metals minor then the one indicated was generally discovered immediately by merchants.
If the test found out a minor quantity of metal, the price of the good that they were going to sell increased in proportion.
There is no way to determine the intrinsic value of a good but that we can always determine the price.
On the contrary, the value cannot swing by definition, because when we talk of values we are always refer to an absolute.
With the fake money of paper, the power of the financial system has increased beyond limits, becoming huge, but at the same time this… Continue reading
The Debt and The Power (part 1)
We know that the banking system creates money from nothing, doing nothing, and there is no wealth in that. That money in the form of a loan represents the wealth that will be created by those to who money is given.
This mechanism has particularly perverse consequences and is really heavy for the entire economic and financial system.
We know that we need a sum of money given accordingly to the level of trade of economic society. Only practice can say how much and the correctness of this amount of money.
Excess liquidity in a system produces inflation, or a reduction of the capacity to purchase of the money.
Lack of liquidity in the system produces deflation, or an increase of the ability to purchase of the money.
The consequences are understandable intuitively. If people have more money than is necessary to buy all the goods in circulation, these will… Continue reading
The beginning of the end at Bretton Woods
In 1944, with the Bretton Woods agreements, was established a new world and a new value of the coins in relation to each other.
Basically was decided that all the coins were convertible in dollar, to a fixed rate, and only the dollar could be converted into gold, and only by Nations.
With the prohibition of conversion, the citizens had lost the power to hold wealth through gold.
This was the beginning of the end of capitalism and of the economic crisis as we are facing today.
The share of conversion, for example how many Pesetas or Pounds needed to buy a dollar, was issued by Nations, but in fact imposed by the International Monetary Fund established in the agreement. The World Bank, also established with the Bretton Woods agreements, had the precise purpose of regulate the exchange rate buying and selling currency.
In other words, in 1944, have been… Continue reading
Power of fake money
For millennia the money was a product as another: in general were used precious metals like gold, silver, copper, iron, which were used to make pots or swords. Other peoples may have considered much more valuable shells, or tobacco, or salt.
In any case, MONEY, was always a thing, a material thing, something real to be used for something and Gold and Silver were precious, worldwide, for the scarcity and for the beauty.
Everything was quite clear in the system isn’t it?
It start to become more abstract just in 1700 when new Banks (that guaranteed the safety of gold or silver deposited with them) began to issue certificates, NOTES, that since then are called banknotes.
Instead of lead the gold or silver necessary to make the payments, was sufficient the certificate issued by the Bank.
The bill, the note, was guaranteed by a Nation or by a Crown, and… Continue reading
Salem
I was in Salem during a terrible raining day, actually I went there just for fun without expect anything special.
There is nothing special there as the whole town is just a place for play with tourists that have nothing better to do.
Nothing looks real and all the witches’ gadgets and shops make all feeling worst. Basically is like a Disneyland about witches.
It was quite hard to get good photos with the neverending rain but my wideangle lenses heped me with some good image.

Salem was founded in A.D. 1626 at the site of an ancient Native American village and trading center but one of the most widely known aspects of Salem is its history of witchcraft allegations, which started with Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, and their friends playing with a Venus glass and egg.
Salem achieved further legal notoriety as the site of the Dorothy… Continue reading
