generally have national police forces and armies to help them out as they
seek to protect their Capital.

The trouble is that those who have Capital protect
it more forcefully and more cunningly than anything else they possess and
we simply don't have a flexible Capital market. What are the tools and

investigated. If those could be exposed and neutralised then no economic
recession need ever last too long or deepen too much.
