The End of the Line for the Anglo-Dutch System

by John Hoefle

Thirty-seven years ago, Lyndon LaRouche saw the present collapse of the financial system as inevitable, after George Shultz, on Aug. 15, 1971, set into motion the creation of the largest financial bubble in history, by persuading President Nixon to end the Bretton Woods system. The Anglo-Dutch system is now collapsing as a result of its own cannibalistic policies.

Bretton Woods Debate Spreads Beyond Italy

by Claudio Celani

The debate in Italy about the need for a New Bretton Woods to solve the financial collapse, is beginning to be picked up elsewhere in Europe. In numerous articles and interviews, former Italian finance minister Giulio Tremonti is saying that “the time has come to substitute the present disorder with a new global order,” referring to the original Bretton Woods system. “There is no local solution,” he states. “This is a global question and there is only a global solution: a new Bretton Woods.”
