Following are Three interesting resources that explain current world economic policies, and what their track record is :
I. The following was taken right off of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) website:
'The IMF was conceived in July 1944, when representatives of 45 governments meeting in the town of Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in the northeastern United States, agreed on a framework for international economic cooperation. They believed that such a framework was necessary to avoid a repetition of the disastrous economic policies that had contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s.' The IMF website: http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/exrp/what.htm#created
note: (1) the IMF has also created the SDR (world currency to appease China) http://edition.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/03/25/china.currency/
(2) They promote "Globalization", and we, the taxpayer, fund their world adjenda.
II. The documentary movie, "The Take" shows how current economic policies created by the IMF (and the One Percent of the richest people in the world) actually work (They use Argentina as an example. Argentina was the richest country in South America because it had the largest middle class, until IMF policies destroyed it all...sound familiar?). http://www.thetake.org/
(note: not all their conclusions are accurate as they call current policies Capitalism and Free Enterprise rather than Corporatism. But their documented facts are intriguing and without question)
III. The documentary movie, "The One Percent" Is produced by Jamie Johnson (Grandson of Johnson and Johnson). He talks about how and why the richest one percent of the population in the world (his family being among them) control far more than most of us realize.
Among many other things he shows you a sugar plant (and town) in the Everglades of Florida that created third world living conditions for its imported labor force (subsadised by you the taxpayer), and how taxpayers paid annually to clean up the pollution from the plant. He also documents how taxpayers subsidies sugar farms, which benefits the large farmers (like this one) rather than the small farmer for which it was intended. This movie brought public attention to this plant, and it was closed a few years later at taxpayer expense. But much more of this sort of thing continues, as the movie points out.
YouTube - The One Percent and http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/theonepercent/index.html
All are excellent resources especially when explaining things to those who are new to all of this. It puts thing in such understandable terms talking about greed (and the "god complex") rather than conspiracy which turns so many people off.
