As I mentioned before, this was an ex...</title><content type='html'>Dear Betsy,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned before, this was an excellent article.  However.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are entirely wrong in your assumption that MTM FASB 157, approved by the Bush/Paulson SEC on November 9, 2007, was not the direct and sole cause for the financial collapse that followed with the driving assistance of GS, JPM, Citibank and other proprietary funds (since unraveled) and trading companies (e.g., Mark Rich &amp;amp; Co), just as under Hoover in 1929, until FDR was forced t reinstate HTM in 1938 which abruptly ended the Depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Capitalist system is the bank regulatory mechanism.  The basis for Private Sector wealth creation and sustained retention has always been HTM in the Private Sector.  When HTM is removed and replaced with MTM, with only the Federal government and Federal Reserve retaining the right to value assets and property on an HTM basis the control and ownership of property, capital and fruits of production/productivity is inexorably forced to shift from the Private sector to the government and those special interests (Patrons) that operate on the market side based on regulatory support (HTM from the government and Federal Reserve, while all others are forced bit by bit to have their loans and businesses guaranteed by the government or Federal Reserve Program, which allows the banks t shift the assets form MTM valuations in the 100%, 50% and 20% risk weights to HTM assets in the 0% HTM risk weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words you have a gradual shifting towards Socialism, Fascism, Communism, as outlined as well by Marx and Engel, who also explained that Capitalism is nothing more than the bank regulatory mechanism, and that if government and special interests in the banking sector, e.g., the bankers that are shareholders of the Central Banks around the world, e.g. the Fed US, Bank of England, etc., making up the BIS and related Basel Accords, can be induced to make stealth changes to the regulatory mechanism, such as in particular the shift from HTM in the Private Sector to MTM with the government and Central Banks retaining HTM, which will implode the banking system and Private sector equity, then because the government and Central Banks retain HTM, the ownership and control of capital will inexorably shift from the Private Sector, no longer having access to credit (because the liquidity is sustainable only through the government and Central Bank&amp;#39;s guarantees and or ownership of banks and businesses) to the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand this better, you need to understand the arcane economics of the bank regulatory mechanism, which is held pretty much in secret since the 50&amp;#39;s, much like the OS of Windows, Apple and other protected proprietary operating systems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In effect, the Private Sector, not knowing the true potential of the bank regulatory mechanism, has been playing a game without knowing the actual rules that the government, Central banks and special interests are playing by through which they are able to manipulating markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here below are weblinks to a number of articles I&amp;#39;ve written on the subject, various topics with the central theme being the issue of MTM in the Private Sector with HTM retained only by the government and Federal Reserve, as the regulatory basis for the Marxist agenda, versus HTM in the Private Sector being the regulatory basis for the Private Sector free enterprise Capitalist system AND the rights stated in the Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are my economic articles and CVs.
