council meantime as the government and the opposition join political dialogue as soon as possible. and a failed palestinian suicide bomber tells us about her new mission for peace after being caught before detonating her device she says she wants to use her second chance to promote tolerance between israelis and palestinians. well the financial troubles piling up in both the eurozone and the u.s. may feel like a relatively recent phenomena but the former head of russia's central bank says that's been a swirling around for ages next he tells us how it's being used now as a political pop. hello and thank you very much for being here you became had of the central bank when russia began pursuing its shock therapy policy polling advice from accidents how would you advise you are an american colleagues now with the situation they are
8:32 am
facing. to live within your means that's all that's just what they told us back then with no idea at all about our economic and social situation at the time that was in one nine hundred ninety two when we began well part of the government began to listen to their advice after russia joined the i.m.f. that year later they wrote and the famous stiglitz a nobel laureate and former economic advisor to clinton was among them that they were doing everything wrong but they were telling us was all wrong. with it we think about the ability to live within one's means who's better at that russia back than or today's usa. you see the u.s.s.r. was living on credit of course but it was solvent and other states were eager to give credit even the us build a lot it wasn't doing it directly through european affiliates they all knew after all that the soviet economy was under control and that because he would pay its
8:33 am
debts sooner or later even without high oil prices that's why they were eager to give credit to the u.s.s.r. especially to finance the purchase of high tech goods to be supplied to the soviet market in fact is go but after nine hundred thirty two a time of crisis for the us america wouldn't sell the u.s.s.r. complete production facilities like a car planted told ya he or chemical plants of which the u.s.s.r. had brought for four billion dollars worth and which had played their part in its technical progress but anyway this all unions credit rating was quite high it has been easy for the us to take credit because of the entire system that's been built up since nine hundred forty five when the i.m.f. was being set up there was a he's a dispute between the u.k. and the us of course the british had to back off because their economy had been greatly damaged by the war that later led to the devaluation of the pound some years after the war in fact all of europe was living off the marshall plan back then and that consisted mostly of agricultural commodities along with some
8:34 am
industrial plants and factories that had depleted their technological potential ones that the us didn't need anymore this in part was the reason for the america's technological leap over more recent years though with production capacities growing rapidly in the third world the share of production in america's g.d.p. has been shrinking that's how america began to live on credit and living on credit is always difficult as the time may come sooner or later when debts will have to be paid off and right now nobody wants to remember that it was really early nineties when bush and the republicans came to power but the us external state debt by issuing treasury. bonds with different terms but anything from one week to twenty years and interest rates grew massively right now it has been increased still further so generally it all happened under the republican rule my question is then why all the hubbub now it's just political games but nothing more. how much time do
8:35 am
you think the usa has left before it has to start leading with. a war. where you see speaking of the country's gold reserves with us as our only joint the i.m.f. in one thousand nine hundred two although it was among its founders back in one hundred forty five the soviet delegation took part in all relevant discussions and we even managed to secure the right to keep our contribution to the capital of the world by goals of the reserves of which stalin was very keen to control the gold was to be kept in the u.s.s.r. with the i.m.f. having the right to come at any time to check it was still there and hadn't been sold the u.s.s.r. could join the i.m.f. before december the first nine hundred forty five but then the head of the state planning committee was near since he stepped in and said we we came out of the war so poor that if we gather and file all the stats required by the i.m.f. all we'll see is how much we actually lost in the war so we better not join i.m.f. rules dictate that any country's currency reserves resulting from
8:36 am
a good balance of payments and without a budget deficit should be kept abroad either in dollars or in gold well it would be ridiculous to buy gold the price of which tended to swing all the way from eight hundred dollars to four hundred dollars an ounce and more here the us never maintained gold prices even though it used to be thirty five dollars an ounce and in nineteen seventy one president nixon raised to seventy dollars and. went to gold collected all dollars throughout france and sent them to the us were asking to exchange them for gold the gold content of the dollar was devalued but everyone keeps quiet about that they began living on credit the good it could only keep your currency either in gold or in a currency that was used in ninety percent of world. at the time. and so did our country even though now we kept it in dollars euros and evil in a small part of swiss francs or something of that kind since two thousand and two but the us to some extent lives in debt to the entire world and that isn't right.
8:37 am
such as the us managed to avoid a technical default but what was the threat to the whole world if us did lead to the vault it wouldn't have been able to repay treasury bonds it issued according to the limits set by congress to the ministry of finance or to the us government who quarter the us president the government head so they wouldn't be able to replace them with new bonds in time you know what happens within the country if they reach a compromise to cover their expenses. this has no explicit connection to the situation within their country on the other hand the dollar exchange rate including cash immediately drops on the world markets and the exchange rate for securities traded around the world drops as well in spite of the fact they are issued by u.s. companies so they incur bookkeeping losses of the very least perhaps even real financial losses to a large extent the debt was formed under the bush presidency the war in iraq and their role in the afghanistan conflict of course huge military expenses and you
8:38 am
know fact the whole world including our country has been funding those military costs their budget deficit and their balance of payments deficit they threw at it as i knew if we talk about expenses the groove to us military budget for at least a year alone is about seven hundred billion dollars and frankly speaking there are no reasons to believe that these military expenses will be reduced he believed this could be possible. i believe that globalization which has been happening for a while now and which hasn't been getting much to developing or third world countries will result in some kind of collapse. so since nine hundred forty b. us has raised a. that ninety times it's become standard procedure but now the situation has progressed to the point of shaking the world's markets and the world was the right hand with a known economic territory how did that happen. to a large extent in the one nine hundred sixty s.
8:39 am
or seventy's ninety percent of international settlements were in dollars you know that was between countries that weren't even connected with the u.s. there the eurozone was established to start giving up national currencies even of those some european countries like denmark didn't join nonetheless the dollar remains the key settlement currency and everyone needed dollars and often required dollars rather than any other currency and therefore the dollar became the worldwide currency of the world wide spread also calls for worldwide responsibility and the u.s. authorities didn't show enough of that response ability economic and number of economists called the actions of the u.s. financially irresponsible do you agree or is it rather a kind of game for the sake of their own interests. from the viewpoint of economic theory there is a certain irresponsibility larouche your famous american economist or perhaps french canadian origin about ten years ago said that the u.s. economy considering its domestic and foreign economic policy is bound to face
8:40 am
a crash like the roman empire which is their unique ratings fall be konami players central banks will obviously change the structure of their reserves can as dumping the u.s. treasury happen and what implications can we expect. what else is there for them in our chinese colleagues in spite of their trade surplus with the u.s. and their own willingness to revalue their currency you still keep most of their phones in dollars even though they use them actively to penetrate the development of african and asian economies to develop their infrastructure and so on you know there's nowhere to go the world is established in the uni polar way you can't just get out of a marriage especially when you have kids. thank you very much. last
