-->An Alle:
Im Anhang ist ein interessantes Link, wo der Autor den deflationären Charakter von neuen Kommunikations-Entwicklungen beschreibt:

Auszug:
Indeed the world markets have clearly entered a deflationary period, but central banks and socialist welfare states are trying to keep the old system alive by inflating their way out of a deflation. More to the point, leaders of the socialist world are gravely concerned that their factories are laying off workers because people aren't buying enough widgets and gizmos. Rather than recognizing that too many gadgets and whizmos have been produced, the government leaders have arrived at a scheme designed to make people keep buying stuff. The problem in their mind is that people must not have enough money to buy all the stuff they want, so by creating more money and loaning to them for almost nothing, they can stimulate people to keep buying stuff and keep the factory workers employed making widgets and gizmos.

The injection of trillions of dollars, euros and yen into the world's capital markets via low interest rates is certainly stimulating spending in some sectors. But the end result of trying to inflate ones way out of a deflation is the creation of distortions in the global economy that the markets aren't asking for. Those distortions represent overcapacity that will in-turn be corrected by the markets in the future.
.........................
The more the welfare states try to protect the old system the more wealth they drive toward the markets that have not developed the multiple layers of bureaucracy and taxation that stifle the free movement of money, goods and services. And so we see the West trying to inflate its way out of a deflation, while simultaneously waging a war on terrorism that places extremely strict controls on the movements of money, people and materials. We are really witnessing are death throes of the welfare state and the end of the Industrial Era.

Keine guten Aussichten für unsere Politiker mit dem Industrie-Gehirn.
Zeit für eine Revolution, um die Politik der Wirtschaftsentwicklung anzupassen.

-->Die Microelektronik als finaler Beschleuniger des Niedergangs.

Ich kann da nur Robert Kurz - Schwarzbuch Kapitalismus - empfehlen. Der gute ist phasenweise ein bisserl schrullig, aber gibt doch einen ganz guten Überblick über die marktwirtschaftliche Entwicklung der letzten 400 Jahre.
