As world stock markets reel from huge losses in Trump era 2.0, it seems much has changed and little has changed since our book INTERNATIONAL BANKSTER$ was published.
The man of the moment.
Trump’s tariffs war might have turned the markets upside down like never before, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the contents of our book’s very first chapter titled ‘Banksters on the rampage’. In it we remind readers we live in a really perverse world where we have almost unlimited military expenditure to finance wars, where our governments readily bail out privately-owned banks with multi-trillion-dollar relief packages, and yet politicians tell us there is not enough money to cover the measly costs of citizens’ basic healthcare, food, education and shelter.
The above-mentioned chapter, incidentally, includes my favorite quote of Warren Buffett’s:
“If a graduating MBA student were to ask me, ‘How do I get rich in a hurry?’ I would not respond with quotations from Ben Franklin or Horatio Alger but would instead hold my nose with one hand and point with the other toward Wall Street.”
There’s a growing awareness in the general population of large-scale financial corruption by the so-called global elite, or the 1%, if you will. Regardless of whether or not Trump’s tariffs work, I hope the 99% demand greater transparency in the way their money is being managed, and I pray the grotesque gap between the haves and the have-nots closes sooner rather than later.
