Review of: The Global Economic Crisis: The Great Depression of the XXI
Century

Editors, Michel Chossudovsky and Andrew Gavin Marshall
Publisher: Global Research, 2010 (391 pp)

There’s a certain irony to my reading this book while waiting at the Food
Stamp office. I’m part of an increasing number suffering under the New World
Order’s systematic destruction of the planet’s middle classes so as to
concentrate wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer families. While global
uprisings now threaten global governance under a single currency, scheming
rulers have long anticipated this reaction. In The Global Economic Crisis,
we learn exactly how a planet-wide military dictatorship plans to enforce
its feudal vision.

Neatly organized into five sections comprising 20 essays by fifteen
different authors, Global Economic Crisis carefully ties militarization with
the planned economic meltdown. Client states and the U.S. itself have openly
and sometimes secretly developed the legal framework for martial law.
Testifying before a US Senate committee on Intelligence in early 2009,
Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, warned that civil
unrest owing to the economic collapse posed a greater threat than Arab
terrorism. One of the book’s essayists, Bill Van Auken, points out that this
is the first time in several years that Al Qaeda did not top the list of
threats to national security.

The book’s major theme, supported by well-documented sources (and we expect
nothing less from Global Research), hammers out the connection between
military dominance and planned economic crises. Cuts in social spending
augment the buildup of arms. Intellectual property laws bolster control of
the world’s food supply by a handful of multinational corporations. Captured
by transnational corporations that escape national anti-trust laws, the
“free market” has given way to corporate control of prices, while driving
down wages. Social protest of such polices is met by military and police
violence.

In GEC, we learn that today’s global economy is driven by trade in oil,
arms, drugs, and slavery (including prostitution). Where neoliberalism
flourishes, so do these sectors. On the drug trade, Michel Chossudovsky
writes, “The underlying military and intelligence objective is to protect
the cocaine and heroin markets, which feed billions of narco-dollars into
the Western banking system.” Indeed, a recent report by Bloomberg News
exposed how Bank of America and Wachovia (now owned by Wells Fargo) finances
Mexico’s drug cartels;

“They are multinational businesses, after all,” says [Mexican Senator
Felipe] Gonzalez, as he slowly loads his revolver at his desk in his Mexico
City office. “And they cannot work without a bank.”

One can travel to any major city in the world and buy supposedly illegal
drugs, arms, prostitutes or slaves. The level of infrastructure required for
such a ubiquitous global market implies government and banking support.

Those writing about the social and economic ramifications of globalist
actions will greatly appreciate Peter Phillips’ essay, “Poverty and Social
Inequality.” It’s chock full of charts laying out facts and statistics.

One of the more intricate essays, “The Political Economy of World
Government,” details how economic classes are being restructured, with the
potential for the middle classes to unite “using access to knowledge,
resources and skills to shape transnational processes.” In this piece,
Andrew Gavin Marshall shows how various private interest groups like the
Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg group and the Trilateral
Commission are deliberately restructuring society to make national borders
irrelevant.



On par, Ellen Brown’s piece, “The Towers of Basel: Secretive Plan to create
a Global Central Bank” shows how a shadowy global banking committee can
break national economies, or boost them if the country does what the
moneylenders dictate.

Not entirely an easy read, Global Economic Crisis nonetheless exposes the
deep underworkings of a criminal class of bankers and industrialists who
serve their own economic interests at the expense of everyone else, backed
up by an expanding global military presence.

 The last book to get me this angry was John Perkins’ Confessions of an
Economic Hitman. Like Confessions, strategies to circumvent and overturn the
globalists’ plans are offered in GEC. The “Cook Plan,” for example,
emphasizes the need to dissolve the debt-based monetary system – a theme
often discussed by Ellen Brown. Claudia von Werlhof also offers
alternatives, describing the various labor and peasant movements that
restore local economies while protecting the environment from the ravages of
corporate ecocide.

By fully digesting the information presented, the world’s people can best
strategize effective resistance. Nonviolence has been a key feature of
street protests and strikes that started in Greece and France last year,
though often met with violence by police and military. But the stark
“austerity” measures neoliberals are foisting on the globe, while they rake
in trillions of dollars in bankster bailouts and no-bid contracts, have
emboldened populists across Northern Africa. Austerity has even inspired the
otherwise anemic US labor movement, with protests spreading from Wisconsin
to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and beyond.

Such street action must also be coupled with direct measures taken at the
local level, however. It is here that the ideas presented in Global Economic
Crisis can be of most use. By understanding how banks engineered this
“bloodless coup,” we find impetus for restoring national sovereignty and a
more sane and equitable economy.
