It’s Our Money with Ellen Brown - Neoliberalism Losing to the China Model

The underlying model on which the US and other Western nations have built their economies appears to be falling far behind the consistent economic and social successes being created by the likes of China, Japan and others which employ state guidance and banking controls.  We talk with Ellen about her research that discusses how we too might benefit from loosening our bonds to private capitalists.  And Ellen concludes her discussion with the Democracy Collaborative’s Ted Howard about their new book The Making of a Democratic Economy which lays out some of the structural changes that will be needed to revive American productivity. Finally, we take an historical look back at the Bank of North Dakota on its 100th birthday, and a brief reprise of 12-year-old Victoria Grant’s simple exposition of what’s wrong with the monetary regimes that we allow to indebt our nations.
