LaRouche: The Urgency of the American System Today
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon LaRouche delivered this keynote speech to EIR’s March 2 Berlin seminar. Addressing a primarily European audience, he described his task as, “first of all, to describe the general situation, and the relationship of what’s happening in the United States, to what the fate of Europe and other parts of the world is going to be. And secondly, to indicate some of the problems, particularly on economic conceptions which stand in the way of competent thinking about economic policy, in the United States to some degree, but emphatically in Europe: that the failure to understand economics in the way that is needed now, is one of the biggest impediments in Europe. And I think I shall make clear to you, what these impediments are.”
