Economy Despite Alan Greenspan: What Connects the Dots?
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
LaRouche addresses the most pressing problem of our time: the inability of world leaders to cope with the onrushing physical-economic breakdown of the “globalized” free-market system. The pivotal issue on which the crucial strategic and related matters of policy-reform hang, which has not been generally grasped, he writes, is “the battle of the giants, the titanic struggle, begun in 1763-1776, between the Anglo-Dutch Liberal system and the legacy of the American System of political-economy.” In order to overcome this deficit in understanding, it is necessary to return to the basic principles of economics and scientific methodology generally.

Cooperating with London is U.S. resident synarchist George P. Shultz.
