“Governments do not rule the world Goldman Sachs does” – Trader Echoes Zaibatsu Thriller
Trader Alessio Rastani’s wildly popular BBC interview on YouTube shocks the world and echoes the central points in two of my financial thrillers, Zaibatsu which was the sequel of The Delphi Betrayal
(The really good parts of this video begin about 38 seconds in)
Those points are:
- That corporations control most of the world’s cash, making it impossible for nation states and their central banks to have any real effect on the global economic environment.
- That sharp traders make money regardless of whether the markets are going up or down — in other words, recessions and market crashes are a great opportunity to make money.
“Governments do not rule the world Goldman Sachs does.”
I had a different name for the global conspirators, but Rastani’s is close enough.
One thing he alludes to is the central part of my plots: If you know whether the market will go up or down, that’s when you bet everything — and that’s one helluva’n incentive to manipulate things.
And if you were a massive conspiracy of global players who decided among themselves that the world would be better off with them in control and with wealth better apportioned from rich nations to poor ones, then you could create one or more global crashes in order to equalize living conditions.
But how do you manipulate the global economic environment to do that?
That’s the heart of these thrillers … and the methods were created with help from some of the world’s best global traders.
