Crime Against Humanity: Booms & Busts, the So-Called “Business Cycle”, 5

What are inflation, deflation, recession, stagnation and stagflation, in the final analysis and in the first place?
As Thomas Jefferson put it with perfect lucidity, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” In other words, such occurrences are effects, and effects are caused: they are made. They are man made, and since their effects are suppressive, let’s just call things with their name: suppression.
Einstein said something on the order of, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” And by calling things with their name, we can move from the lower level of the mechanisms of suppression, in which we would keep on losing ourselves in the maze of inflation, deflation, recession, stagnation, stagflation, and all the rest of it, to the upper level of the intentions, and see clearly at last. Also because, while we move up, we cross the intermediate level in which we understand how all these various mechanisms share a common denominator: they are all but mere wealth transfer mechanisms. Wealth transfer the means, suppression the aim.
