Economy Despite Alan Greenspan:
What Connects the Dots?
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. addresses the most pressing problem of our time: the inability of world leaders to cope with the onrushing physical-economic breakdown of the "globalized" free-market system. The pivotal issue on which the crucial strategic and related matters of policy-reform hang, which has not been generally grasped, he writes, is "the battle of the giants, the titanic struggle, begun in 1763-1776, between the Anglo-Dutch Liberal system and the legacy of the American System of political-economy." In order to overcome this deficit in understanding, it is necessary to return to the basic principles of economics and scientific methodology generally.

From Islamophobia to War:
The Danish Cartoon Affair
The controversy is being orchestrated on both sides, to stoke the flames of a Clash of Civilizations. As Lyndon LaRouche warned, it is the "London-centered synarchist circles who are orchestrating this showdown," whose aim is to set up a one-world fascist bankers' dictatorship. Cooperating with London is U.S. resident synarchist George P. Shultz.
