ECHOES OF THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BARDI:
Wall Street's New Dark Age
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

September 22, 2008
Conniving U.S. Treasury Secretary Paulson has turned out to be another typical swindler, and worse. Up to last night, he had been a slicker, and also more pompous swindler than dumb-bunnies such as Rohatyn's and Soros's dupe Senator Christopher Dodd, or the utterly flakey U.S. Representative Barney 'Bail-out' Frank. The tragic, greed-driven stupidity of the lot of them and their like, has been the relatively simplest aspect of what is actually the presently onrushing, global financial breakdown-crisis of the world's IMF system—the same crisis which the current President and post-2005 sessions of our U.S. Congress have done so much to bring about...

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."

  • Echoes of the Fall of the House of Bardi:
    Wall Street's New Dark Age
    by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

    The Wall Street bailout package concocted by Treasury Secretary Paulson, Fed Chairman Bernanke, and the Congressional leadership, demonstrates that they lack the special category of moral intelligence which distinguishes the human species from baboons. Their moral failure could get you, your family, and our republic killed. 'Since the close of July 2007,' LaRouche writes, 'the entire international bubble created by these and kindred monetarist practices, practices which were launched during Greenspan's tenure, has been lurching toward the implicitly inevitable stage of a general, planet-wide, financial-monetary 'breakdown-crisis,' a crisis comparable, factually, to Europe's Fourteenth-Century 'New Dark Age' crisis.'

  • A Volcanic Eruption Against the Bailout
    By Sunday, Sept. 21, the American public had erupted in spontaneous, coast-to-coast rage against the scheme. Lawmakers found themselves caught between Wall Street's demand for a quick fix, and the pent-up anger of their constituents at the total failure of Washington to deal with their life-and-death needs.
