This Economy is bound to collapse by ST on 15 Oct 2008

This economy (not only, national but the global) based on greed and lusts of few capitalists is destined crash. Its time to stock of how we do business and to cut through all the crap and see the evil of the whole interest based financial system and create a system that creates real wealth, not the illusion of wealth. And in case you are wondering, I am not talking theology. I am talking finance.
