This site has been very influential in gaining a greater understanding of the economic complexities of y2k, but gets no respect. It is never mentioned or referred to directly but has nevertheless generated some excellent articles inspired by writings authored by yours truly. This is encouraged, by the way. Unfortunately, because this site deals with bank runs and other politically incorrect subjects it doesn't get any credit. My writings were ultimately inspired by Gary North, of course. He's alot more well known than I site and also doesn't get much credit. However, it is interesting to note that there are many high-ranking government and military officials that regularly visit and subscribe to this site. You would recognize the identity of many if I were to reveal their identity.
The following are two excellent pieces. The first is the April 1999 report by the Dept. of Commerce entitled " The Year 2000 Problem and the Global trading system ." The second is Social Chaos or Transformation written last year.
Read these two articles, written well after this site was created, and see how it resembles Macroeconomic Thesis on Y2K and The Domino Effect and Interdependencies . It seems blatantly obvious this site played a part in these articles' authors' thought process. Some may say: "Oh yeah, sure, he's just trying to take credit and make himself sound good!" Sorry, but I have a knack for reading between the lines and determining this...intelligence training, you know.
Another excellent read is from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Year 2000 computer Problem entitled " Investigating the impact of the Year 2000 Computer Problem. It deals extensively with the status of various industry sectors and is quite disturbing. However, it does not deal with how these sectors interact. For this reason I suggest readers discount the tone of the language in the executive summary and apply the logic of Macroeconomic Thesis to the sectors covered therein.
Two weeks ago I started writing an article dealing with the collapse of global trade in 2000 but the miserable computer erased it all (I'm beginning to think technology really does stink). Stay tuned for it.
