"money masters"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.09.28

Over the past several days, I've been slowly watching a rather dated but comprehensive video on the role of the Federal Reserve and its ilk. It asks the question what's happening to the US economy (and through it, the world economy), and then proceeds to answer that question.

Not happy watching! But fairly essential, I would think, in understanding "why" rather than "what" is happening.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
