I set of copyrights are meaningless without manufacturing ability.
Places like china are have such power because they're the cheapest place in the world to manufacture almost any kind of durable goods.
IMO... that has nothing to do with copyrights and everything to do with it their willingness to employ their own people as a low-income labor society.

I set of copyrights are meaningless without manufacturing ability. Typically, the value contained in manufacturing is negligible. If you spend any time in China, you start to have utter contempt for commodity products as opposed to lifestyle components as manufactured by American marketers. Think about that one. How do coolies have any power? And how does being cheap confer that? For China it has nothing to do with copyrights, because the prevalence of groupthink means they don't have the intellect to create intellectual property. This stands in contrast to the value of American brands that cannot be overstated. |

Money as debt is an interesting concept that sounds perverse, but you have to think that in theory, money only has value as credit if it also creates a debt somewhere else. It's like matter and anti-matter that way.

I guess so. People like Lyndon Larouche complain about obscene sums created out of thin air in derivatives and paper money and so forth, but the accounts generally cancel out to zero.
Say what you want about the Jewish bankers, but I suspect they're necessary.

^^ That kinda flew over my head. Who's ledger does the credit appear on? The moneylenders? - The person who has the money has the credit, society has the debt. |

It works in reverse as well. In some cases, people have debts as well. Society also has credits. The net present value of all of the government's future cash inflows is quite high.
The issue as I see it is that the governments of Asia and the Middle East have more dollars than they know what to do with. Really, they need to take them and spend them on something. Meanwhile, yields on T-bills are about 3%.

If you're talking about something like T-Bills then you have a point, but as those are the opposite of $$'s it shouldn't be surprising that credit/debit is reversed.
For $$'s the person with the money in his pocket always has the credit.

Because we're standing with God's People. Also the Jewish bankers wish it so.
