    F William Engdahl: US economy has been hollowed out over the last 15 years and debt load is staggering


    In this first segment of the interview, Paul Jay discusses how the global economic crisis will impact Europe with author and political economist William Engdahl. Engdahl says Italy is experiencing the worst economic crisis it has seen in 30 years, and the British economy is “falling off a cliff.” He says the European situation is “differentiated,” that “it’s a little bit different from what’s going on in North America, especially in the United States.” In Europe, he explains, “it is more an indirect knock-on effect of the United States financial meltdown.” He says the question now is whether the European Union is going to try and decouple its dependency on the US dollar and begin to form regional currency blocks like many nations around the world are starting to do.

    In the final video there he says it would make sense for Russia/China to go to a Gold backing.

    I'm not so sure.

    China was forced off the Silver standard by the US. The size differential of the 2 economies is such that that might be do-able again. The differential may have improved, but IMHO the possibility still exists.

    For all of its dis advantages, a fiat system has the advantage of being much more resilient against attack and destruction by external sovereigns
