Pfff ....................................
Did I insult you? Or? When?
I am not telling you that you are intellectually deficient
soft. It is the hospital that does not care about charity.
Not short of arguments but short of patience.
But let's move on, I want to get out of this dead end ...

Re Pfff ................
Yes, this guy takes the opportunity to advertise his books; yes, it may be venal. And so, is this as far as his tickets are false or false? I want to hear it but with evidence then. Show me the reason to be wary of his tickets other than by the simple fact that he derives a profit from the fruit of his work.
It's the same as when you say there must be an eel under the rocks.
You do not give enough arguments in favor of mistrust compared to the number of arguments justifying this action. And yes, after I get angry! Because you cast doubt on what I believe, for all the reasons developed above, to be a
excellent citizens' initiative.
The points on which I want to clarify :
Obamot wrote:This is completely untrue. It has been a long time since merchant banks have been in the circuit of banks offering services with current accounts for the average citizen (apart from a few exceptions for the big banks which have been supported by the National Banks ...)
On the other hand, all the deposit banks invest on credit and are therefore merchant banks. Whether they invest on credit directly or indirectly, it's the same.
So to say that a massive withdrawal of customers would not turn the tide on the argument that you develop has no tail or head. Sorry to insist but it is so.
You tell me that the economic system is not in ruins because we are not experiencing a depression as dazzling as in 29 and that in addition consumption is going well.
(I invite you to read this article for example:

The 2007 crisis is a domino effect which was brought down in 2008 by the refinancing of central banks and states. This means that we have aggravated the problem in order to be able to post-pose it. The liquidity crisis is still there and increasingly threatening.
2 °) The consumption index is, today more than yesterday, an indebtedness index not wealth. Since the market is boosted by credits and not by real values, the evolution of global wealth is actually the evolution of global debt. The states went into debt even more (devaluing their currency in the process) to allow the banks to continue their delirium.

"There is no crisis" is a catchy and provocative title that had to be taken in the second degree.
Well done
Then you have to understand what is developed behind:
There is no crisis that was not initiated by the banks but stifled by their recapitalization via central banks and the states. It is the difference with the interwar period. What we understand today is that the progress made in terms of market regulation is comparable to the evolution of dynamite towards the atomic bomb. The only common point, its inevitable explosion.
By domino effect, there is devaluation of the currency (debt vs GDP), therefore less funds, therefore more credits, ... It is an infernal circle neither the banks, nor the states themselves can stop under penalty of collapse. But this collapse will take place, whatever happens, it is inevitable. You just can't spend more than you have. All the more so if you have less and less to spend.
The sooner the crash happens, the better it will be because we may have some monetary strength left to rebuild our societies.
Finally, concerning your graph (at the heart of our controversy
), if you admit that we are talking about the same thing, you will also admit that it is misleading. In short, this is the growing volume of assets under management which will only exist when they are realized in monetary value, ie "tangible" assets (money, gold, real estate, etc.) .
If this graph is there to prove that there is no crisis because there is massive money circulating then we disagree. In this case, I invite you to learn more about what debt money is.
These goods are currently represented by an investment capacity but not (yet) an existing value. So your graph is in fact the image of world debt (which I demonstrated with the evolution of French debt which, being one of the highly indebted countries, illustrates the same dynamic).
In fact, it is the image of wealth (currencies) that will have to be created so that this "fortune" does not remain fictitious.
Your graph in fact proves the ease with which we manipulate figures and people.
In the end, yes, the banking crisis is a lie; yes, people always consume more (on credit) but that does not mean that wealth increases. It is a deception which will send us all right towards the 3rd world war if we let them do it.
Why? Because when the debt reaches the threshold of no return, the chaos of war will reset all counters to zero. Change of game, change of rules.
We will have other problems on our hands, surviving for example. The banks during this time there, will invest in the armament, will inflate their cases of funds real goods (the war effort deprives (atise) the peasants of their grounds, the taxpayers of their goods, the industries of their productions, .. .). This scenario, on the other hand, is exactly that of the interwar period.
"An attempt to recover the American economy will be initiated by the New Deal and in particular the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, but a relapse occurs in 1937. It is only with the entry of the United States in the Second World War at the end of 1941 that the country recovered durably. " (source:

Hoping to have been more understandable this time. If we are talking about the same thing (the fictitious debt money), we agree. Otherwise, I count on you to develop your opinion with less pettiness and more courtesy.
