Correction

In “Derivatives Write Epitaph for Financial Markets,” in our March 1 issue, an editor’s error misidentified “credit derivatives.” Credit derivatives cover potential defaults, and do not include the much larger category of “interest rate derivatives.” Thus credit derivatives do not constitute a quantitatively large portion of the derivatives market, estimated officially at $100 trillion, and much higher by EIR author John Hoefle.
