My Two Cents
By: Andy Sutton
While all the hubbub here in the US has centered around abominations such as cash 4 clunkers, tax credits for buying homes, and the other machinations directed at returning the US to the blissful year of 2005, other portions of the world have taken notice and have been conducting some activities of their own. They have been locking down ever-growing stockpiles of critical basic materials needed to run their economies. These strategic moves have certainly not been done in secret, but given how we spend our intellectual energies here in America, they might as well have been. Leading the pack has been China, but there have certainly been others. Read the rest of this entry »

Cheap dollars are sowing the seeds of the next world crisis

The Rise and Rise of China

The Rise and Rise of China
From the early point in this blog, I have emphasised the importance of China in the world economy, and this view is now shared by the mainstream. China has rapidly moved from being an important element of the world economy into becoming one of the central actors. On a bookshelf crowded with books about China, I have a copy of JamesKynge’s ‘China Shakes the World’, a book with a title which many would have taken as poetic fancy at the time of writing. For those of us who actually witnessed the growth of China, it was simply a statement of reality. China was already shaking the world at the time that the book was written, but most of the West had simply not noticed. We are all now paying attention. Read the rest of this entry »

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the African Union Summit in Libya (VTV)
Caracas, September 1st 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said that the tour he is carrying out in various countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe is aimed at strengthening Venezuela’s “strategic alliances” that have been built throughout ten years of his government.
Speaking from Tripoli, Libya, where he arrived on August 31 to participate in a special summit of the African Union and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the revolution in the African country, Chavez also said that Venezuela had played a “modest but important” role in contributing to the construction of a multi-polar world.
In 1999, “We had a clear understanding of the international map and began to seek solid, firm and serious allies,” he said, referring to the early stages of his government. Ten years later Venezuela has built strong alliances, not only with nations but with strategic regions, from northern Africa to the Eurasian region, the head of state pointed out in a telephone conversation broadcast on state owned VTV.
