New Economic Platform – More Than Analysis
Posted by admin in Economics Books on September 30, 2011
In the next 20 years, you may get bored seeing more and more books analyzing the effects of the current economic crisis and what brought it on.
But, at the very beginning of this financial crisis, I’ve found the first book to advocate a new financial platform and address the biggest problem: adding more jobs and restoring worldwide financial stability.
The book didn’t just suddenly appear as an analysis of the world’s economic crisis. It has been stored in the brain vault of Leonard S. Johnson for more than 5 years. He has been tossing around ideas, coming up with new approaches and creating new kinds of thought for that entire time. And this was long before this financial crisis put the world on its collective knees. It was now time to come to the aid of a crumbling financial world.
That’s when Johnson decided it was time to give the world a needed answer to deal with these effects of the economic crisis with his innovative book “The Bank for International Ideas.” Johnson has based his book entirely on taking intellectual capital to intellectual property. He shows how to use the book’s premise to create a new financial order based on worldwide innovative ideas that become businesses, scientific projects or organizations.
“The Bank for International Ideas” isn’t a book of how to merely get banks to support and fund new ideas. The fact is banks are not doing that to the degree we have known in the past. BII is a complete financial platform which allows anyone in the world to submit ideas to the bank.
The process starts with the review committee. The committee, a noteworthy group of peers, decides if the idea is worthy and valid. If so, the bank actually issues credits which are then redeemed in currency in three parts: 33%, 33% and 34% totally 100%.
This means BII allows the innovator to make money on the idea while searching for investors, investment money, funding and mentor involvement. There’s nothing to pay back unlike a usual bank transaction. The individual is actually paid for the idea. That’s new in the world of finance. And good news for the idea-maker.
Johnson believes the world is no longer going to be run by the current skilled jobs. He believes true financial stability will be led by innovators who create areas of new job categories, not simply the skilled ones that we have known.
Johnson has created “The Bank for International Ideas” book to become the financial handbook of the upcoming new era of finance. The result is: It isn’t the end-all answer to analyzing the effects of the financial crisis. It is the end-all book to the beginning of the new phase of finance in the world.
Unlike the blow-hards that puff themselves up to tell the world how they would do or would’ve things, Johnson has a truly remarkable way to make the entire world a better place financially.
I have also found something else he’s done. He’s created a 5-part YouTube explanation of the financial platform and how it works. So, you can absorb the financial concept before you get the book and delve into the details.
It just gets better and better.

Adam Smith – Published Works by the Father of Modern Economics
Posted by admin in Economics Books on September 30, 2011
We all know that Adam Smith is know as the Father of Modern Economics because he was above all a system builder. He was a British political economist and philosopher. His woks can be described as being the foundations of economic theory. His collective books were included in The Wealth of nations Book 1 to 3. It is within those books that eighteenth to present day economics are studied upon. There is a proof that he began to make a general system analysis for almost two decades before the publication of The Wealth of nations, and the summary of that system were clearly visible before 1776. Smith’s system are mixed with a theory of human nature and a theory of history with a distinctive form of natural theology and some practical observations of economic life.
According to the book of Nebres titled Economics: Concepts, theories, and application, he mention that ” The wealth of nations has also provided for possibly, more than any other single work in its field, as a lead to express systematically government’s economic policies.” This means that through this range of vision, has subjected to considerable modification by economists in the light of historical growth since Smith’s time.
There are several key concepts of the Wealth of nations that Smith mention of how wealth is produced and distributed in society.
First, is the division of labor
Second is Wage rates.
Third is the distribution of wealth.
Fourth is the natural and market prices.
Fifth is Smith and mercantilism.
Sixth is law of diminishing returns.
Seventh is Smith and physiocracy.
Eighth is natural product.
Ninth is governments.
Tenth and the last concept is human conduct.

Truth About Global Economic Crisis: Book Review
Posted by admin in Economics Books on September 30, 2011
You want to read The Global Economic Crisis The Great Depression of the XXI Century, edited by Michel Chossudovsky and Andrew Gavin Marshall, if you meet these criteria: you welcome information and analysis about critically important issues that come from great thinkers outside the mainstream media and publishing world; you can handle brain pain from detailed and brutally honest revelations; you are willing and able to challenge your own biases and preconceptions to let in new explanations of how the world really functions.
If millions of Americans read this book, we would probably see a far stronger uprising against the political establishment that has refused to severely punish the countless guilty people in the financial, banking and mortgage sectors that brought down the US and global economic system.
This book ties together a large number of factors in twenty chapters that reveal just how corrupt the world has become because of the power of plutocratic, wealthy and corporate interests. From Wall Street corporate boardrooms to the Federal Reserve and other central banks to the US military and NATO, a multitude of threads get woven into a disturbing tapestry of crimes against society that still have not been prosecuted.
This book is truly an instrument of anti-brainwashing. If you are willing to spend serious time reading it, then you surely will become much angrier about the dismal state of the economy that is causing so much pain and suffering to ordinary people worldwide. If you personally have escaped the worst ravages of the economic meltdown, then you will have much more compassion for those severely affected.
In all honesty, if the current global economic crisis has made you angry, pessimistic, fearful, paranoid, despairing and worse, then this book will most likely exacerbate all such feelings. By revealing still more connections, implications and causes, this book will motivate you to do anything you can to fight the corporate, plutocratic forces devastating the lives of ordinary people. If you already have little confidence in government, it will only make things worse. Does all this mean you should avoid reading it? Absolutely not.
Here are a few statements from the book that resonated with me and that you can use to decide whether the general philosophic orientation of it is compatible with your views:
“Wall Street’s Ponzi scheme was used to manipulate the market and transfer billions of dollars into the pockets of banksters.”
“Government rescue packages around the world are corporatist in their very nature, as they save the capitalists at the expense of the people.”
“The global political economy is being transformed into a global government structure at the crossroads of a major financial crisis.”
Just gin up the courage to read it, get out several color markers to highlight passages and expand your knowledge to overcome all the propaganda constantly being hurled at you. We need more citizen unrest to energize more public protests to overthrow the powers that have corrupted and perverted our government. A key voice in the mainstream media that is in sync with the painful messages in this book is Dylan Ratigan who has a terrific daily show on MSNBC. He too should read this timely book.

What You Need to Know About the Coming Economic Disorder
Posted by admin in Economics Books on September 30, 2011
I’m always amazed at how irrelevant most of what we learn in school really is. Schools don’t teach things like economics, things could help all of us avoid the kind of financial disasters so many are currently facing because of mistakes they made because of ignorance or bad choices.
When I first came across this book in the library, I almost didn’t get it. There are so many liberal books on economics and money management that are light on facts and lack techniques for actually helping you solve your financial problems.
This book definitely turned out to be different, and I’m so glad I read it. It was definitely an eye opener.
What this book does, from a Biblical perspective, is explain, in depth, the current financial situation the the United States and what you can do to protect yourself.
What I really liked about this book is that it’s written in plain English. Bates makes it very easy to understand exactly what is happening within the American economy, as well as how the government is contributing to the problem. He shows what we should actually be doing to correct the problems.
What I didn’t like about it is that he doesn’t really give you any kind of plan for how to deal with the situation. He does offer a list of things you can do to protect yourself, but there’s really no explanation here.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read this book though. This book is very relevant to what is actually happening today and is an excellent primer for educating yourself on economics.
Lest you think that it’s too “Christian,” or too religious to possibly provide the real facts and figures behind what’s really happening, the author, Dr. Larry Bates, really doesn’t spend a lot of time exploring the issues from a Christian perspective.
Although Bates is a Christian, he was also a state legislator from Tennessee, as well as a banker. His background makes him uniquely qualified to write on the topic, and because he really understands the issues, he does a really good job of explaining the issues in a way that anyone can understand.
Regardless of your religious persuasion, or lack of one, this is definitely a book that you will want to read. It will help you more clearly understand what is really happening in the American economy and how you can protect yourself. Not to be missed.
The New Economic Disorder, by Dr. Larry Bates, is available on Amazon.
