The key to future prosperity

Last night I saw pictures of the Iraqi Ministry of Economic Planning in Baghdad burning, set alight by ‘looters’.

Memo to the Iraqi People:

If you want liberty, prosperity and a rational economic future, you now have a golden opportunity that you must not squander… DO NOT REBUILD THAT BUILDING!.

  • Apparently the US Fed asked the Pentagon to avoid bombing the Iraqi Central Bank.

    The argument being that it may be needed to re-issue currency and control monetary affairs. Think Greenspan was wrong here, they could just dollarize the economy and dispense with an Iraqi Central Bank altogether.
