Hyperinflation Is Here!
This Economic Breakdown
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

January 23, 2008
The insane U.S. decision, over the past week, to launch a ``stimulus'' package for the U.S.A. economy, has committed the U.S.A. to its present entry into a new trajectory: that of a hyper-inflationary economic breakdown-crisis. This is a crisis whose effects, unless reversed very soon by the measures I have recently specified, would certainly radiate world-wide, almost certainly bringing the entire planet, soon, into a ``new dark age'' comparable to that triggered by the Fourteenth-Century, medieval Venetian system's Lombard banking firms, such as the notorious House of Bardi....

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

Hyperinflation Is Here!:
This Economic Breakdown

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. writes that the insane decision 'to launch a 'stimulus' package for the U.S.A. economy, has committed the U.S.A. to its present entry into a new trajectory: that of a hyper-inflationary economic breakdown-crisis,' comparable to that of 1923 Weimar Germany. Unless this trend in policy-shaping in process is stopped, there is no part of the world which would not be soon swept into a chain-reaction form of global hyper-inflationary collapse comparable to that of Europe's Fourteenth Century. But this threat could be stopped, if the kinds of U.S. emergency reforms which LaRouche has prescribed, are taken.

Fed Copies Weimar Hyperinflation:
Yes, That Is a Stimulus Package, and No, I'm Not Happy To See You

The LaRouche Youth Movement Basement Team shows that the hyperinflationary frenzy which engulfed Weimar Germany in the years immediately after World War I, is a dramatic example of what can happen to a nation when its productive capacity is destroyed, and it turns to the printing of money to try to preserve its economy.

Russians Reply to Provocations by Warning of Nuclear War
Russia's Chief of Staff warned, in response to aggressive British-led efforts by Western nations to cut Russia down to size, that Russia reserves the right to conduct preventive war, including the use of nuclear weapons, if its sovereignty or that of its allies is under immediate threat.

Economic History

'A Time of Unexampled Prosperity':
The Great Mississippi Bubble

In 1819-20, the American writer, historian, and patriot, Washington Irving, set out to educate his fellow citizens about the folly of succumbing to financial bubbles created by rampant speculation. He used the example of 'The Great Mississippi Bubble' of 1719, which was created by English speculator John Law in France, whereby Law sent the French economy into a speculative mania of soaring interest rates and hyperinflation, based only on the promise of future land values in France's Louisiana Territory around America's Mississippi River, which left the nation in ruins when the bubble burst.
