The State Should Rescue the Market Economy - by Markus MugglinA balance recession is more than a temporary slump of the economy. During a balance recession, private economic actors try to reduce their debts. Debts are minimized instead of businesses taking credits to finance production and maximize profits.

Who Owns the World? - by Wolfgang SchleyerMost states are so indebted today that their politics are determined more by creditors than citizens. Why can't democracies deal with money? Can we be waiting for the world to join our worldview although adapting our worldview to the world would be more visionary. A minority can routinely enforce its will against the rules of the market economy. Elites are those whose sociology no one dares write, Hans-Jurgen Krysmanski explains. Posted: Wed May 8, 2013 4:59AM
