Liberalism and Its Welfare Economics Must Die If the Global Economy Is Going to Survive

By: Curtis Ophoven

Last week Europe did the unthinkable. They caved in to their financial bankers and agreed to bailout their struggling nations with money they don't have.

Either way, they have quite possibly triggered the soon death of fiat currency that the world has used to finance the last 50 years of credit expansion and global debt like never before in history. 

The dollar was already doomed because of the massive expansion of money that has been created since the dollar was removed from the Gold standard in 1971.  But now the Euro is also doomed.

The economics of Obama style welfare liberalism must die if the global economy is going to survive and it is not going to die without a fight.

The current economic problem is much worse than it was before WWII or during the cold war, because the lie of welfare economics was isolated to Germany or Russia during the cold war while most of the rest of the world remained resolute on solid economic principles.

Shortly after WWII, the dollar became the global currency and then broke the gold standard to expand the size of government beyond what the economy could support.  The global experiment in fiat currency is coming to an end. 

The lie that somehow welfare economics would lead to prosperity has been believed around the world.

The dollar has led the entire world into a snake pit of lies about the principles of economics. The Federal Reserve has ignored the principles of economics and repeated this lie with decades of propaganda, until all international central bankers have come to believe it.

In the end, it was nothing but a lie. Social welfare economics cannot lead to anything but economic ruin.

The only hope for the global economy is to abandon liberalism and its welfare economics before the global economy completely collapses.

We have already delayed the much needed deflation to purge the economy of the expansion of credit that has undermined the value of the dollar several times. Each time we have pushed a much bigger problem into the near future.

The day of reckoning is quickly approaching, as world markets are getting ready for a major crash as the expansion of money in every major currency overwhelms global asset prices

After the market crash, gold will be the only source of money that the world has to protect what wealth is left because no central bank can create more gold out of nothing.  Gold will continue to increase for several years - until a new currency can once again become fixed to the price of gold.

The U.S. has a chance to lead the world into a global economic recovery if we are the first to abandon welfare economics that has spread like cancer around the world, but that is going to take a major revolution and the removal of the Federal Reserve. 

The first nation to stop the cancerous welfare economics will be the leader of the global economic future. 

Up until last week, I thought it was going to be Europe and it could still be if they realize the error of their ways and reverse course - which is still very possible.

I thought the Euro was partially (~13%+/-) backed by gold?

It appears you have an odd definition of Liberalism.

Wikipedia says Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom"[1]) is the belief in the importance of liberty and equality.[2][3] Liberals espouse support of these principles, including such fundamental ideas as constitutions, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, free trade, secularism, and the market economy.

If you are not for liberalism you must be a fan of dictatorships, slavery, injustice, and socialism.

@sally - Further down in the Wikipedia definition you will find the rest of the definition.

"Conservatism and fundamentalism, however, remain powerful opponents of liberalism. Today, liberals are organized politically on all major continents. They have played a decisive role in the growth of republics, the spread of civil rights and civil liberties, the establishment of the modern welfare state."

"In North America, unlike in Europe, the word liberalism almost exclusively refers to social liberalism in contemporary politics. The dominant Canadian and American parties, the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party, are frequently identified as being modern liberal or center-left organizations in the academic literature."

The Revolution: A Manifesto

Dr. Ron Paul's THE REVOLUTION: A MANIFESTO is a concise and convincing argument for a return to America's libertarian principles. But the best and most important chapter, without a doubt, is Chapter 6, "Money: The Forbidden Issue in American Politics." Here Dr. Paul details the operations of the Federal Reserve System in stunning clarity. You see, the effects of inflation are not uniform -- the Fed System works as a wealth redistribution system from poor and middle-class to the rich and politically connected. This is the true cause of the increase in inequality and the diminishing middle class.

What Has Government Done to Our Money?

Rothbard gives us an exceptionally clear, detailed description of what money is and how it has come to be manipulated by governments and central bankers into almost worthless inflationary fiat paper currency. He then explains how gold became the most respected and trustworthy currency of choice and the prospect of either hyperinflation or the greatest depression the world has ever seen may be arriving in the very near future.

Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse

In discussions of today's economic meltdown and what to do about it, the Federal Reserve is a stealth helicopter: it never shows up on the radar. With the exception of a few esoteric specialists and those Ron Paul Revolutionaries who burst into chants of "Abolish the Fed!" Historian Thomas Woods notes in this important book, the Federal Reserve bears a large part of the blame for the mess we're in. In the first part of "Meltdown," Woods shows how both in theory and in practice, Fed policy fueled an artificial boom and is now leading us to a much larger meltdown.

The Case Against the Fed

This book, written by Murray Rothbard, an economist and historian of fairly well known repute, is a scathing attack on not only the Federal Reserve, but the interests that created this institution. Rothbard explains how the Federal Reserve is the true source in the destruction of wealth, which has led to the destruction of the middle class and continues to sift money into the hands of the wealthiest.
