"Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively "codes" certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital - and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations--assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it."--Provided by publisher.

When I first studied how the Financial Matrix's global banking system operated, I was shocked. The rank injustices and inequalities, not to mention its oppressive nature, is unconscionable. Not only is the Financial Matrix the most powerful monopoly in the world, but it is also the most profitable, siphoning away trillions of dollars from the world economy at the expense of unsuspecting people. Furthermore, through the Financial Matrix's control of money, media, and business, democratically elected politicians must obey the Financial Matrix because without its money and media support, winning elections is not possible. Modern society has been highly politicized, with politicians and pundits discussing, dissecting, and debating nearly anything to keep the people divided. On one side, the Media riles up conservatives to support law, order, and family values. Believing they are defending American values, conservatives are duped into supporting massive budget deficits to fund the military used by the Financial Matrix for oppression and injustice. On the other side, the Media stirs up liberals to support change, charity, and equality. Believing they are fighting against injustice and oppression, they are similarly duped into supporting state socialism, a modern form of slavery, used by the Financial Matrix to secure its power. With so many issues dividing the people in all directions, it is beyond suspicious that the one issue important to all people, the one capable of uniting people from all parties, races, and creeds, is not discussed, dissected, or debated at all. This reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy and her traveling companions were mesmerized by the magnified image of the wizard, whose amplified voice boomed commands, while a smoke-and-mirrors light show paralyzed them. Toto, however, ignored the distractions. Running to the curtain, he pulled it back to reveal a decrepit old man pushing levers while shouting commands into a microphone. Once exposed, the grandfatherly figure attempted to close the curtain while bellowing into the microphone, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" In a similar fashion, the media, to quote Shakespeare, is "full of sound and fury signifying nothing," with people mesmerized by magnified images, booming voices, and a smoke-and-mirrors light show, while the true issue remains hidden behind the curtain. This book, like Toto, seeks to pull back the curtain to expose the Financial Matrix's injustices. Further, it launches the Financial Justice movement, teaching people from all walks of life how to break free from the Financial Matrix and, ultimately, build a community of people to end it. In short, the situation comes down to this: 1) The Financial Matrix money and banking system is rigged against you. 2) The Financial Matrix is legally robbing you of your hard-earned money. 3) Financial Justice is the solution, and you can be part of it!

The foreign exchange market is huge, fascinating and yet widely misunderstood by participants and non-participants alike. This is because its unanswered questions are numerous. For instance, what is the purpose of the $4 trillion per day trading volume? What determines currency trends and who are the players in the FX arena? Does FX drive other financial markets, or is it the passive end-product of all the other markets? FX is without clear supply and demand factors, so how do traders determine sentiment and price direction? Much is written in an effort to answer these questions, but a lot of it is just noise. In the 12 pieces here, Barbara Rockefeller and Vicki Schmelzer draw on their combined 50 years' experience in foreign exchange to cut through the clutter and provide an elegant and razor-sharp look at this market. Their analysis is accurate, useful and enlivened by many anecdotes and examples from historic market events. They cover: - How the matrix concept can help observers understand foreign exchange market action - What professional FX traders take into consideration before entering into positions - Whether the FX market can be forecast - The interplay between foreign exchange and other financial markets - How technology has levelled the playing field between big and small players, and at what cost - Whether the prospect of reserve currency diversification away from the dollar is likely - The toolkit that central banks use to manage national economies and the effect of this on currencies 'The Foreign Exchange Matrix' is the go-to book for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the world of foreign exchange.
