"...Their aim is not merely to create alternatives to the use of dollars, but an entire new set of institutional alternatives to the IMF and World Bank, the SWIFT bank clearing system, the International Criminal Court and the entire array of institutions that U.S. diplomats have hijacked from the United Nations..."

True, but the fact that Hudson is just putting something out like this plainly without a 20 page analysis is telling.

Very nice to see Michael Hudson linked. His content on multipolarista and the new Geopolitical Economy Report. Very critical data and needs to be disseminated
