The Global Economic Crisis, The Great Depression of the XXI Century. | Global Research

In all major regions of the world, the economic recession is
deep-seated, resulting in mass unemployment, the collapse of state
social programs and the impoverishment of millions of people. The
economic crisis is accompanied by a worldwide process of militarization,
a “war without borders” led by the United States of America and its
NATO allies. The conduct of the Pentagon’s “long war” is intimately
related to the restructuring of the global economy.

We
are not dealing with a narrowly defined economic crisis or recession.
The global financial architecture sustains strategic and national
security objectives. In turn, the U.S.-NATO military agenda serves to
endorse a powerful business elite which relentlessly overshadows and
undermines the functions of civilian government.

This book takes the reader through the corridors of the Federal
Reserve and the Council on Foreign Relations, behind closed doors at the
Bank for International Settlements, into the plush corporate boardrooms
on Wall Street where far-reaching financial transactions are routinely
undertaken from computer terminals linked up to major stock markets, at
the touch of a mouse button.
