An Interesting Response to the Economic Crisis
A Catalan militant, Enric Duran, has defrauded 39 Spanish banks of 500,000 Euros, using some of same techniques as the Wall Street scammers. He used the money to fund social movements and produce 200,000 copies of a free newspaper called CRISIS, describing the fraud as well as the nature of the money system and alternatives to capitalism.

An unusual story! Thanks for the posting of it, Larry.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Mike Whitney of Counterpunch.org is good to read on the world of finance.
He brings up the one thing that won't happen at the end: "Abolish the Fed."
Ain't going to happen, but it's still a nice thought.
