an invitation to continue the Debt list, please subscribe

Dear Debt List subscriber,

It is with sore regret to lose Professor Roper (CSF) to retirement. 
His dedication to providing lists (Debt, Longwaves, etc.) and his
provision of resources for articles by various of us will be missed.

As I know of no other list that broadly addresses U.S./North American
Debt, I have formed an alternative.

You may simply e-mail me, and I will subscribe you, or simply send a
blank message to debt-subscribe@topica.com

Subscribe: debt-subscribe@topica.com

List URL:  http://lists.topica.com/lists/Debt

List name: Debt

Purpose:  To discuss major categories of debt, both to
understand them, and reduce them.

In 1992 (Barrons, Oct. 12) an investment adviser wrote an article
entitled "Depression, Not Recession."  Mr. Dalio illustrated how
excessive debt can often lead to economic depressions.  Since that
time, I (W. Curtiss Priest) have published a newsletter -- the CITS
Debt Watch:

Copies of this newsletter also appear via the University of Colorado. 
With the departure of Prof. Roper, that list is closing.

This list is intended to replace that list.  Topics of discussion
include debt by sector(federal, county, local, household, and
corporate).  Topics also include how the IMF (International Monetary
Fund), the WTO (the World Trade Organization), the BMI (Bank for
International Settlements), the World Bank and the FRB (Federal
Reserve Board) either act to increase overall debts, or decrease
them.

While the main focus is on North American indebtedness, indebtedness
of other countries will be discussed as they impact our own economic
situation.

Sincerely,

Curtiss Priest
