    Today on http://www.abc.net.au/classic/content/2011/10/05/3328088.htm

    Margaret Throsby interviewed Satyajjit Das.
    Satyajit Das is an international specialist in the area of financial derivatives, risk management, and capital markets, with a global reputation. His latest book is 'Extreme Money: the Masters of the Universe and the cult of risk' (Penguin Books, August 16 2011).

    He left the banking industry in 1994 and in 2006 he published the book 'Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives' (revised edition 2010). He has published widely on financial issues in professional journals, newspapers. His blogs can be found on a number of on-line financial sites.

    Its a classical music station. My wife heard the interview while driving.

    He touches on:

    Current economic order built to fail
    Symptoms today were created 30-50yrs ago
    USA unpayable debt
    Ponzi Scheme
    Qe3
    Gold- greatest total vote of no confidence in monetary system and banks

    He then goes on to talk about Owels and India. Can stop listening here if you like.

    Did anyone see the 7.30 report tonight? I nearly fell off my chair. I had to hit the rewind button on my Tivo about a dozen times.

    Greg Hoy said, "The value of the little Aussie dollar, like the value of the moulten gold it's minted from, is as confused today as the global economy".

    Seriously stupid?

    Yea I saw it but I couldn't bear to watch it more than once.

    Also saw one news item tonight where a bar of gold was being poured alongside a machine minting $1 gold looking fiat coins. :)

    Regards Errol 43

    The Australian on Friday had a full-width advertisement across the bottom of the front page for investing in gold bullion.
