"Bankers & Bolsheviks": an interview with Hassan Malik

What was the biggest sovereign default in history? Argentina in 2001? Greece in 2012? By losses in real terms it was actually Russia in 1918, months after the Bolshevik Revolution. Seen at the time as one of the world’s most investable bond markets, capital had flooded into Russian Tsarist bonds for years ahead of the revolution. The default, when it came, was not just due to Russia’s willingness to repay, but also its ability: the economy was heavily indebted following war against Japan in 1905, and also WW1. In this video, economic historian Hassan Malik is interviewed by M&G’s Jim Leaviss about his new book, Bankers & Bolsheviks - International Finance & the Russian Revolution (Princeton University Press).

    @@bertlammens4392 I suspect the central bankers gave up on the iron fist of Bolshevik style socialism because as Sutton said those societies can't innovate, or don't do it very well. By allowing the free market we cattle can more quickly and efficiently create the technology they need to establish and maintain their world government. Looking at the 10s of millions killed under Bolshevism it seems like depopulation was/is also a concern of theirs. How many fewer people are on the planet today because of the 250 million killed by the bankers since 1900?

    NY banks financed Trotsky not Lenin, $10K for revolution and ticket to Russia. He was even granted US citizenship while staying two months in NY in rich neighborhood. He was expected to succed Lenin soon, and the funny kaplan, assasin was already dispatched to trigger the change.

    USSR/USA two sides of the same coin. Nothing but the international clique. Germany’s economy, ironically, was the only one that had shaken off the internationalists control and was fully independent, functioning on honest labor rather than the usury ruse of the “Gold standard” Read “Hitler’s revolution”. It provides a good insight
