A NEW CULTURAL RENAISSANCE IN THE COMING AGE OF REASON

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the founder of the Schiller Institute, opened the second day of the Institute's conference, ``The Eurasian Land-Bridge Is Becoming a Reality!'' held on Sept. 15-16 in Kiedrich, Germany. Her keynote speech began:

"You all know that the danger of a new war is looming over our heads, and the effects of a collapse of the financial system would be probably equally devastating, if no remedy is found. The idea which was pronounced by Jochen Sanio, the head of the German credit authority, BaFin, that we are right now in the worst financial crisis since 1931, is a total understatement of the problem, but it is useful, because it does remind people that after 1931, we had 1933. We had Hjalmar Schacht in Germany, but we fortunately had FDR in the United States.

"But, out of great economic and financial crises, there is the danger of fascism and war.

"Now, everybody knows that the 20th Century was a century of great tragedies for the world, and even if for 62 years in western Europe, we did not have war, but peace, one can say absolutely with clarity, if there is not a dramatic change in policy today, there will be another tragedy...."

The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism, by Stanislav M. Menshikov
March 23, 2007
—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

Feature

A New Cultural Renaissance in the Coming Age of Reason
Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche gave this speech opening the second day of the Institute's conference, 'The Eurasian Land-Bridge Is Becoming a Reality!' which was held on Sept. 15-16 in Kiedrich, Germany. With the world in the worst economic crisis since 1931, she said, 'what we need to do, is to combine the Eurasian Land-Bridge, which is an alliance of sovereign nation-states for the common aims of mankind, with the idea of a cultural Renaissance. And by focussing on the best, highest traditions, highest cultures of all cultures, to form a dialogue among those.'

On Vernadsky's Space: More on Physical SpaceTime
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

A gift of a translation of V.I. Vernadsky's On the States of Physical Space, prompted LaRouche to renew an earlier challenge he had given to a LaRouche Youth Movement scientific team, to discover the methods that Carl Gauss used in his scientific breakthroughs. Gauss responded to the difficulty of working in an environment hostile to science, by demonstrating his results, without revealing the method he had used to arrive at them.
