Reflections on the effects of War as compared to the effects of Fiat Money  |
| Modern warfare is highly destructive. A couple of centuries ago, wars involved fighting between armies; civilians were spared. Cannons were directed at the opposing army.
Today, war means general destruction; civilians on the losing side can expect to be plundered, killed or raped. Cities are targeted for mass destruction.Friday, December 06, 2013 |

 The ECB to Open Liquidity Spigots  |
| As we’ve explained before in this article, LTROs, those gigantic loans, totalling $1 trillion euros from the ECB to the european banks, are akin to the Fed’s quantitative easing plans or, in other words, the use of the printing press.
