COMMITTEE FOR MONETARY RESEARCH & EDUCATION, INC.
Annual Spring Meeting Thursday, May 17, 2012
The Union League Club 38 E. 37th Street, New York City
Money and the Corporate State
In the 1990’s CMRE first presented its studies of Corporatism with monographs by
Walker F. Todd, “From Constitutional Republic to Corporate State” and by
Edwin Vieira, Jr., “The American System or The Corporative State?”
Since then, corporatism has so increased that government influence and power are
evident to many but real understanding of the consequences – while unpopular –
still is not clear. This meeting clarifies the problem, and, as always, provides
solutions in the end.
CMRE welcomes with pleasure
H.S.H. Prince Michael of Liechtenstein, to speak on:
“European fiscal and economic crisis and the problems of growth”
Jim Sinclair draws news from his famous Mineset News, and has observed
“…as far as the dollar is concerned, no one is focused on the ‘utilization’ that is
fading fast and will negatively impact the value of the US dollar in 2012.”
(Mineset) March 3/12
Bob Hoye, financial historian, Today’s central bankers have been unable to prevent
the distinguishing feature of the post-bubble contraction - a world of strong recessions
and weak recoveries. Typically, this is accompanied by a rising real price of gold that
prompts exploration success. The party is still ahead of us.
Frederick Sheehan, investor, and author of Panderer to Power, on how we got
here…a world run by central bankers with Bernanke more powerful than Obama.
Sheehan follows the career of Alan Greenspan and shows how the Fed was at the center
of the 1% vs. 99% imbroglio – with Paul Brodsky, Principal of QB Asset
Management, which analyzes macroeconomics and has concluded that all the world’s fiat
currencies are experiencing a significant devaluation against gold and that this secular
trend is in its early stages.
