We hear about the economy and the "recession" in the media, but do any of the commentators stop and try to explain the whole picture? Only by understanding why money was created and where it went wrong can you begin to understand the flaws in the current system. Economic commentators are trapped inside a set of flawed ideas and assumptions which if they dared to break out of would threaten their very status as an economic commentator. Flawed economic systems require flawed economic commentators such as the BBC's know nothing Stephanie Flaunders. In truth there is no recession, there is only a theft of wealth by those who created this system. Engineered economic cycles are the mechanism that allow the manipulators to steal wealth from the people who work to create it. We do not have an economy, we have an e-con-u-and-me.
