LaRouche’s Fourth of July Address: It Happened in Berlin Last Week
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
LaRouche warned at EIR’s June 28-29 Berlin seminar that the coming collapse of the world monetary-financial system will be far more devastating than anything that occurred during the recent two centuries. But there is a way out, and LaRouche puts forward the conceptual requirements for a recovery plan. “The continuation of a civilized existence of all the nations of this planet, for generations to come,” he writes, “will depend upon the courage and wisdom which must be shown now by the government of our United States, in providing the needed initiative for halting the presently onrushing collapse, and conducting a general economic recovery throughout the planet.”
