York,
April 18, 2009 (23 min)
Jack Rasmus puts the current financial and economic crisis in historical
perspective, explaining how the Great Depression of the 1930s is
similar and different from the 'Epic' Recession of today. He clarifies
various myths about the Great Depression and confusions among economists
and the left today on the nature of the current economic crisis.,
why the Obama bank bailout will fail, and why official talk of 'green
shoots' of recovery now allegedly emerging will prove wrong. Jack
further critiques the Left for not focusing enough on proposals
and program for addressing the crisis, and discusses some of his
ideas about a new kind of banking structure that needs to emerge.

The Speculative Investment Origins of the Financial
Crisis,
Presentation to the San Mateo Peace and Justice, Unitarian Church
Dr. Jack Rasmus explains how the roots of the current financial
crisis lie in the structural changes in Finance Capital since the
1980s, the shift toward speculative investment, and the accumulation
of nearly $30 trillion in banking and corporate debt. The Debt unwinding
is causing deflation, defaults, and a rapid descent into Epic Recession.

credit markets in the U.S. and globally, and how it is being transmitted
during 2008-09 to the real economy globally producing what Dr. Rasmus
calls an Epic recession — a new
event unlike any seen since the 1930s; not a typical recession and
not yet depression. Hear how the ultimate origins of the crisis

Trillion Dollar Income Shift,
Presentation at the Alameda Public Affairs Forum
Dr. Jack Rasmus addresses the root causes of accelerating income
inequality in the U.S. since the late 1970s. Hear how today more
than $1 trillion in income every year is being shifted from the
roughly 91 million American households earning less than $80,000
to the wealthiest 1 million households of millionaire and billionaire
investors and their corporations. Rasmus shows how the $1 trillion
annual income shift has been caused by the accumulated policies
of corporate America and political administrations from Ronald Reagan,
George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. The presentation identifies
specific dollar amounts contributed by each of the policies and
considers the long term consequences for the U.S. and global economies,
financial instability, and global recession.

On the Economist, Hyman Minsky, Deflation and

Jack Rasmus interviews with KPFK, Los Angeles, radio host, Suzi
Weissman, November 17, 2008 (length: 18 min 18 sec)
Jack talks on the theories of economist, Hyman Minsky, and explains
why solutions proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson have failed.
The key to the current crisis, Jack argues, is understanding the
relationship between speculative investment, debt, deflation, and
the deepening credit crunch now leading to a new wave of corporate
and consumer defaults. It's 1930-31 and not yet 1933-34. A second,
even more serious phase of financial crisis is brewing for late
2009. Meanwhile, the Obama team, he predicts, will see it more like
1993 than like 1933.
