The issue would be SmalPox that in all prior crashes the Bankers were able to take what "wealth" there was in the form of Gold from the old society and abscond with it to another safe haven where there was still undeveloped natural resource and an unwitting population that would accept them in. Long as the old society still accepted gold, they could use it to buy from the old society products that would help the new society grow, and the Sheeple were greatful for this improvement in their standard of living. So the English Bankers took over the American Banking system after the colonists who were sent there in Indentured Servitude hacked an existence out of the wilderness with their own two hands, bearing their children along the way. So the Dutch Bankers escaped with their gold to set up an econmy in South Africa, utilizing the local slave labor to dig for Diamonds, another accepted form of a rare item that can be used as a representation of wealth. So the Nazi Bankers were able to abscond with the Gold and head for Argentina, where they set up a new economy. Unfortunately, the actual natural wealth of Argentina has no diamonds and not that great land to support a population, but the South Africans were always able to trade out the Diamonds for food for their slaves.
Where will the bankers escape to this time with their Gold, and what neighborhood has enough growing resource of food to sustain itself without trade with another region of the old world sitll producing enough food to support them? There IS no such place left on Earth anymore. The Gold they bring won't help improve anyone's standard of living, there is no one left to trade it back to for any good products who would take it. The Ponzi scheme ends with the exhaustion of the earth itself to provide food for all the people.
The economics is abstract with the buying and selling and the betting process on growth, and the representation of monetary wealth through a rare product like gold, but in reality basic economics is very simple. It all depends on Savings for the Future, a betting game to make you secure in your old age. Social Security, Medicaire, these also were a Ponzi scheme, eventually they have to fail also as the society produces more people unable to produce either through age or poor health. Just this one is more obvious to many of you than the Banking scheme, and so the myth that the Market was the best place to invest in the future was accepted by some. It has to fail though when the society has more consumers than producers of wealth. That is obvious.
Anyhow, it seems to be something of a moot point with the collapse of the entire ecosphere. Just thought I would contribute another short synopsis of the economic side of World History
See you on the Other Side.
