Oh btw can someone explain the point about wealth being preserved through inheritance? I thought inheritance tax existed in the west?

Who said GDP= Wealth of the world?

GDP= world's production in a given year. You realize the net worth of land alone in the UK can easily top 10trillion+? This is a wild guess but land is not accounted for, nor is gold and a lot of other things in the world's GDP

ok the first one posted Zeitgeist. Now this thread is over. I am sure the Rothschild family is still rich and I am sure they are having fun with the money and I am sure some of them are politically motivated but this thread is turning more and more to a garbage bin for conspiracy theories.

I'm pretty sure I know what GDP is, I was making a comparison just to put things into perspective.

And FYI, the total amount of farmland in the US is 2.5 trillion. Now farmland isn't land, its land with revenue, idle land is worth almost nothing. Farmland now is probably selling at something like 15 times land value.

Total amount of gold in the world is estimate 7 trillion.

According to The Economist, "developed economies'" assets at the end of 2002 were the following:
Residential property: $48 trillion;
Commercial property: $14 trillion;
Equities: $20 trillion;
Government bonds: $20 trillion;
Corporate bonds: $13 trillion;
Total: $115 trillion.

Developed economies include all Europe, North and some of South America, Australia, and parts of Asia/Africa.

So technically, OP is claiming that Rothschild's own TOTAL DEVELOPED ECONOMIES ASSETS + 5 TIMES TOTAL WORLD GDP, so.. yeah.

I mean, this is all just throwing figures around, I can't be bothered to verify them all, but seriously just.. just consider the statements before talking.

Applying a 6% interest rate to the net worth compounding for 150 years would make anyone of that era filthy rich in today's dollars...there is no reason or justification for attaching that 6% interest rate. It multiplies the value of that person's net worth by 6250 times...its just silly...

But yes, there's certainly a point to there being money that isn't taxed. There's lots of it and these guys aren't the only ones who have it.

You're overestimating today's influence of money though. In the Napoleonic wars soldiers went where they were paid and fed. Today we have only one superpower and when it's in financial trouble, we're talking trillions. Sums so vast they dwarf the collective assets of that "1%" you're talking about.

No private interest, not even a Rothschild, can bail out nations today. The monetary system simply works differently. You can't control $'s the way you could bouillons.
