In this short clip, Russian intellectual and politician Nikolai Starikov explains how the Western finance machine dominates nations around the world through currency and trade. Central to his point is that when the Soviet Union abandoned Stalin’s gold Ruble, it sacrificed the separate autonomous economic system it had created, thus submitting both itself in particular, and the world in general, to dollar hegemony, which resulted in terrible consequences that continue to this day.
He also – and much more importantly – explains how nations can work their way out of this insidious system by following the models of Russia and China in phasing in alternative ‘centers of issue’. This gradual process is the only way to achieve a balanced and multi-polar world order.
