J FOREWORD TIm Council of the Royal Institute of International Affairs believe that this a.ddition to the series of Study Group Reports will fill an important gap in the literature of international economics. It is an attempt, in the first ple.ce, to e.na.lyse objectively the conditions under which long-term oapital may move between countries and to consider oe.refully the speoie.l fe.otors in the world economy of to-day which tend to limit the extent to which such movements e.re possible or desirable. Secondly, the book contains a careful study of the post­ war history of international investments which brings together facts and figures whioh e.re ine.ocessible to most students and business men. The Council is indebted to the following group of members of the Institute for the preparation of the Report: Mr.

  • The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame
    WILL s A system reset seems imminent. The world’s finan- cial system will need to find a new anchor before the year 2020. Since the beginning of the credit s crisis, the US realized the dollar will lose its role em as the world’s reserve currency, and has been planning for a monetary reset. According to Willem Middelkoop, this reset MIDD Willem will be designed to keep the US in the driver’s seat, allowing the new monetary system to include significant roles for other currencies such as the euro and China’s renminbi. s Middelkoop PREPARE FOR THE COMING RESET E In all likelihood gold will be re-introduced as one of the pillars LKOOP of this next phase in the global financial system. The predic- s tion is that gold could be revalued at $ 7,000 per troy ounce. By looking past the American ‘smokescreen’ surrounding gold TWarh on Golde and the dollar long ago, China and Russia have been accumu- lating massive amounts of gold reserves, positioning them- THE selves for a more prominent role in the future to come. The and the reset will come as a shock to many. The Big Reset will help everyone who wants to be fully prepared. Financial illem Middelkoop (1962) is founder of the Commodity BIG Endgame Discovery Fund and a bestsell- s ing author, who has been writing about the world’s financial system since the early 2000s. Between 2001 W RESET and 2008 he was a market commentator for RTL Television in the Netherlands and also BIG appeared on CNBC.

  • Multiple Currency and Index Clauses
    March, r936 University of Pennsylvania Law Review And American Law Register FOUNDED 1852 Copyright 1936, by the University of Pennsylvania VOLUME 84 MARCH, 1936 No. 5 MULTIPLE CURRENCY AND INDEX CLAUSES ARTUR NUSSBAUMf THE PROBLEM After the Joint Resolution of June 5, 1933, abrogating the gold clause,' had definitely been held constitutional, 2 questions concerned with its con- struction came into the foreground. Among them the problem of the so- called multiple currency clauses is of particular importance. Such provisions, which are to be found in many American bonds and coupons, give the creditor an option to receive payment at a fixed ratio, in one of several currencies. The following coupon, detached from a 1912 bond, may be quoted as an example: "Bethlehem Steel Company will pay to bearer at its office or agency in the City of New York, U. S. A., Twenty-five Dollars United States Gold Coin, or in London, England, Five Pounds, Two Shillings, Ten Pence, or in Amsterdam, Holland, Sixty-two Guilders, Twenty- five Cents, being six months' interest then due on its First Lien and Refunding Mortgage Five Per Cent. Thirty-Year Gold Bonds, Series A, No.-." The question has arisen whether under the Joint Resolution an Ameri- can holder of such a coupon, upon tendering it in Amsterdam, is entitled to the guilder amount specified therein. A claim for the dollar equivalent of the guilder amount was dismissed in City Bank Farmers Trust Co. v. Bethlehem Steel Co., Justice Merrell dissenting.3 No appeal was taken. The contrary has been held, in a declaratory judgment, by a California t Visiting Professor of Law, Columbia Law School; formerly Professor of Law, Uni- versity of Berlin; lecturer at the Academie du Droit International de la Hague, i933; author of numerous treatises, monographs, and articles in legal periodicals.

  • Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust
    This page intentionally left blank P1: FpQ CY257/Brustein-FM 0 52177308 3 July 1, 2003 5:15 Roots of Hate On the eve of the Holocaust, antipathy toward Europe’s Jews reached epidemic proportions. Jews fleeing Nazi Germany’s increasingly anti- Semitic measures encountered closed doors everywhere they turned. Why had enmity toward European Jewry reached such extreme heights? How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? For example, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In pursuit of answers to these questions, William I. Brustein offers the first truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and po- litical roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Book and more than forty years of newspaper reportage from Europe’s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society’s longest hatred. William I. Brustein is Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and His- tory and the director of the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His previous books include The Logic of Evil (1996) and The Social Origins of Political Regionalism (1988).

This paper investigates the background to his conception of value, URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1037153ar focussing particularly on the work of Henri Dameth, as there is evidence DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1037153ar suggesting that Saussure attended Dameth’s lectures on political economics while a student at the University of Geneva. Several parallels are noted between the treatment of value in Dameth’s work and in the Cours. The paper See table of contents also examines the role of value in Saussure’s writings prior to his lectures on general linguistics, as well as the links between the Cours and the work of Saussure’s brother, René, on an international currency, in conjunction with his Publisher(s) role in the Esperanto movement.

  • The Future of Gold from 2019 to 2039
    The Future of Gold from 2019 to 2039 Sam Laakso Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in Business Administration 2019 Abstract 30.4.2019 Author(s) Sam Laakso Degree programme Finance and Economics Report/Thesis title Number of pages The Future of Gold from 2019 to 2039 and appendix pages 166 + 6 This report is an extensive gold market analysis which examines the future of the gold mar- ket starting from 2019 and ending to 2039. For the purpose of this report, seven interna- tionally recognised professionals including Gary Savage, Alexis Stenfors, James Rogers, David Brady, Brent Johnson, David Morgan and Jan Von Gerich were interviewed and over one hundred independent sources were examined. Aspects discussed in this report include gold’s monetary history over the past 150 years, the world’s current monetary system, the supply and demand factors of the gold market as well as the structure of the gold market itself, financial market manipulation and market effi- ciency, cycles analysis as well as the geopolitics around gold. The report examines all of these subjects individually after which these aspects are used to form a reliable and thor- ough market analysis. The report divides into two core segments which are the theoretical framework and the market analysis. The theoretical framework provides the foundation to which the market analysis is built on. The market analysis consists of three scenarios of which the first sce- nario examines purely the supply and demand fundamentals of the gold market, the sec- ond scenario presents a cycles analysis for gold and the thirds scenario examines the pos- sibility of a global monetary system reform.
