This of course is part of what’s “driving up” energy and food costs. It’s why millions are starving while food waits in storehouses until the starving can meet the price of the commodities trader who produces nothing and takes the vast share of potential reward for wealth.

These things are bad enough on their own, but given an underlying monetary system which itself can only multiply debt while we maintain a vital circulation by re-borrowing interest and principal as ever greater sums of debt, the competitive quest for unearned gain exhausts the last potential reward for real enterprise, even before inherent multiplication of debt by the monetary system imposes inevitable collapse under a terminal sum of debt we can no longer afford to service.

As both are coming to a head now; the smoke and mirror of “long term securities” can only hope to take profit from an unsustainable, bankrupt system.

Which of course is why, advocating these *un-free* markets of predation in the style of Mises and Paul, you can hardly afford a featured link to PEOPLE For Mathematically Perfected Economy.

Neither Paul, Vieira, Griffin, Mises, Browne, Hayek, or you advocate solution. And this? Essentially it advocates unearned profit at the expense for instance of multiplying public/federal costs, or the costs of our commerce, where, under mathematically perfected economy, the costs of unearned profit are eliminated, and “the markets” are truly freed, by solution of the devaluation of currency, and multiplication of debt by interest — something the Austrians actually *advocate* to our perpetual demise.
