TODAY'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS

INDEX OF ECONOMIC REPORTS

Our world economy is sustaining itself on massive levels of debt. Debt is like a drug.  It creates a false sense of security while poisoning the mind and the body. The delusions of debt can cause people to start believing in an imaginary future.

There is also the fact that global economic inequality is higher today than any other point in history. The record disparity of wealth in our globe is one of the defining issues of our time. A small 1% of the global elite own over half the wealth on the planet, and the legion of the global poor, third world slums and starving children is growing rapidly.

Is the system working? Read our index of reports and charts below to decide for yourself.
