    An interview with William K Black

    This guy is an academic and former financial regulator.

    I think this is a great series of vids, you need to ignore the splash ads for his book and the dodgy requests for cash at the end of each vid.

    He articulates in detail what exactly has been going on during the recent economic times. Fascinating stuff and well worth 50 minutes of your time.

    That was amazing Spin. Again breathtaking. Lots of interesting stuff here on TD lately. Need a few more people like William Black to high-light what the fook is going on. Rob a bank ---own a bank. rob a country ---and then own a country !!! Is that possible ?? The figures are staggering.

    Very interesting, when are the powers that be going to realize that big finance are the enemies of us all, or are big finance already so powerful that it is to late, and all we can do is wait for them to cause a total breakdown. ?

    Very impressive, especially the view that managers who run a business (banks) at a loss in order to increase their paypacket are crooks.

    I'd disagree with the Indonesia comparison as Golkar/Suharto were basically the Indonesian army. Thailand would be closer.
