Looking within

Here is a video from Max Keiser, an economist who hosts two excellent and very insightful shows, the Keiser Report and On the Edge. Keiser discusses the markets, debt, money creation, the banking crisis, global economy, gold prices and other such topics. In this episode, Keiser interviews William K. Black. Black gives a clear picture of the banking and economic situation and scandals going on. I was so impressed by William K. Black from this episode that I am presently trying to read his book, The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One: How Corporate Executives and Politicians Looted the S&L Industry. One of the most memorable and terrifying (but understandable and clear at the same time) concepts from this interview is that our economic system is designed to reward the most immoral people. Here is the link:

Also, I just listened to another interview with Gerald Celente. One point that really resonated with me from this is that to make change, we have to start with ourselves. We have the power to change what businesses and corporations we support. We have the power to inform ourselves or remain ignorant, to buy crappy food from huge chains or support the local economy, and so on. I believe in this concept fully. The only way that we can make change is by starting from within ourselves.
