My early recollections, fit with this. My ww1 war-vet grandfather fizzed with hatred and disgust for the yanks. I see how that was. He would rage about the War-debts, the "mother country" had to pay. Also of the German reparations, he commented that for the British Empire (that is us) it was a tragedy. The Germans lost all their worn out machine tools, and the yanks provided them with new modern un-worn machines. And from what I see, everywhere the Yanks went, our females tried to benefit. All my happy thoughts towards the USA have totally evaporated today. Further in my view the USA does not at all believe in Democracy - except as a tool to enslave and destroy democratic governments in other countries. We are meant to be a democracy - unfriendly to Russia, but a friend to the USA. But the USA rules our government. USA divides our society and destroys our culture. They INFECT us all. Big USA military planes arrive at our Capital city's airport - what for? There is a welcoming back door to our parliament where lobbies do bypass democracy and in fact rule us all.

Well, this is the upside of coming down with The Vid! I'm watching and taking notes like I'm back at Uni. Thank you so much for doing such a great job presenting this; what incredible production values: sound: 9/10, lighting 10/10 edits 11/10, Content 100/10!

What a great tour de-force into the roots of the geopolitical forces that drive reserve currencies and effect on other national currencies from Ms Desai.

[dinnerwithfranklin]

I'm loving these talks. Thank you all.

[inwani]

This is a very educative series. Thank you very much! You two are great teachers!

[BP-rgxp]

You both do such a good historical dive into British and US currency dominance. I didn't know how much the US screwed the post WWI Germans turning them into debt slaves and became the model for debt-enslaving other third world countries. Wow, that clarifies a lot, and probably explains current US attitudes toward continental Europe and Germany, and Nordstream pipeline terror.

[firnantok]

Thank you for another excellent discussion!

[elainetamika]

When we see the mechanisms of Neo-liberal capitalism we see that it not much different from con-artists scams but with much broader target. Thx professors!
