Very good flow chart Burrito, it nicely depicts the flowing loop in layman's terms.
P.S
I removed my earlier post about the U.N, my reason is that I don't yet think the majority of people would understand the rationale behind the post except to label me a loonie, conspiracy theorist or both!
However, in Burrito's flow chart you will recognize the IMF who are coincidently making for themselves a louder and louder voice of late, correct? The IMF is a branch of the UN. My point is that there are some interesting links and interests from several players in the global economic game being played out.
Question for yourselves to answer is 'what are the overall interests of the UN in all of this?'. And no - peace, unity and harmony for the good of mankind is the wrong answer.
