Why the global recession is in danger of becoming another Great
Depression, and how we can stop it
When the United States stopped backing dollars with gold in
1968, the nature of money changed. All previous constraints on
money and credit creation were removed and a new economic paradigm
took shape. Economic growth ceased to be driven by capital
accumulation and investment as it had been since before the
Industrial Revolution. Instead, credit creation and consumption
began to drive the economic dynamic. In "The New Depression: The
Breakdown of the Paper Money Economy," Richard Duncan introduces an
analytical framework, The Quantity Theory of Credit, that explains
all aspects of the calamity now unfolding: its causes, the
rationale for the government's policy response to the crisis, what
is likely to happen next, and how those developments will affect
asset prices and investment portfolios.
In his previous book, "The Dollar Crisis" (2003), Duncan
explained why a severe global economic crisis was inevitable given
the flaws in the post-Bretton Woods international monetary system,
and now he's back to explain what's next. The economic system that
emerged following the abandonment of sound money requires credit
growth to survive. Yet the private sector can bear no additional
debt and the government's creditworthiness is deteriorating
rapidly. Should total credit begin to contract significantly, this
New Depression will become a New Great Depression, with disastrous
economic and geopolitical consequences. That outcome is not
inevitable, and this book describes what must be done to prevent
it.Presents a fascinating look inside the financial crisis and how
the New Depression is poised to become a New Great
DepressionIntroduces a new theoretical construct, The Quantity
Theory of Credit, that is the key to understanding not only the
developments that led to the crisis, but also to understanding how
events will play out in the years aheadOffers unique insights from
the man who predicted the global economic breakdown
Alarming but essential reading, "The New Depression" explains
why the global economy is teetering on the brink of falling into a
deep and protracted depression, and how we can restore
stability.

How far were appointments in the Roman Empire based on merit? Did
experience matter? What difference did social rank make? This
innovative study of the Principate examines the career outcomes of
senators and knights by social category. Contrasting patterns
emerge from a new database of senatorial careers. Although the
highest appointments could reflect experience, a clear preference
for the more aristocratic senators is also seen. Bias is visible
even in the major army commands and in the most senior civilian
posts nominally filled by ballot. In equestrian appointments,
successes by the less experienced again suggest the power of social
advantage. Senatorial recruitment gradually opened up to include
many provincials but Italians still kept their hold on the higher
social groupings. The book also considers the senatorial career
more widely, while a final section examines slave careers and the
phenomenon of voluntary slavery.
This book by the author of The Economy of the Roman Empire: Quantitative Studies considers important interlocking themes. Did the Roman Empire have a single ‘national’ economy, or was its economy localised and fragmented? Can coin and pottery survivals demonstrate the importance of long-distance trade? How fast did essential news travel by sea, and what does that imply about Mediterranean sailing-patterns? Further subjects considered include taxation, commodity-prices, demography, and army pay and manpower. The book is very wide-ranging in its geographical coverage and in the evidence that it explores. By analysing specific features of the economy the contrasting discussions examine important questions about its character and limitations, and about how surviving evidence should be interpreted. The book throws new and significant light on the economic life of Europe and the Mediterranean in antiquity, and will be valuable to ancient historians and students of European economic history.
This book discusses minting and financial policy in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire. By studying Roman coin-survivals in a wider context, the author uncovers important facts about the origin of coin hoards of the Principate. The resulting analyses use extensive coin material collected for the first time. Dr. Duncan-Jones builds up a picture of minting, financial policy and monetary circulation that adds substantially to our knowledge and that stands as the only study of its kind for this period.
