JAMES ROBERTSON'S NEWSLETTER
No 15, July 2008


Dear Eric,

My latest newsletter is now out. Read it in full at:
http://www.jamesrobertson.com/newsletter.htm

This email summarises its contents.

1. Editorial.
Peak oil - peak food? peak money? peak population? Could the
present crises be early signs of a lasting worldwide
"downsizing" to come?

2. "Money From Thin Air" - Guardian online article.
Where did the money come from? and where has it gone?
Democratic governments must come clean about how the money
system now works.

3. Book Reviews.

(1) Brian Hodgkinson, "A New Model Of The Economy", 2008.
A ground-breaking textbook for all serious students of
economics - offered by the publisher at a discount to
readers of this newsletter. My review questions the claim
of economics to be an objective science.

(2) Fred Harrison, "The Silver Bullet, 2008". Proposes a
much more realistic way to "make poverty history" than
today's conventional economic policy makers and theorists
do. Far-reaching, practical.

4. "Changing Games In The Global Casino", Trendspotting
article by Hazel Henderson in Ethical Markets - "... huge,
mounting costs ... now feed the suspicions of millions that
global finance is indeed a casino with rules rigged by the
insiders."

5. "Debt & Deception", Ron Morrison's no-frills booklet on "a
core proposal for banking reform at a time when the present
system is in disarray - perhaps terminally so".

6. IMF Enquiry Into U.S. Financial System - "nothing less
than an X-ray of the entire US financial system".

7. A New Ecological Website, from Sandy Irvine and colleagues
- green, radical, but realistic.
