INDIA: Swaminomics ~
Socialists, like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela or Indira Gandhi in India, are famous for nationalising the biggest corporations. But the US government has taken over three of its biggest corporations within two weeks. Has the US turned socialist? American right-wingers moan that this is indeed the case. Meanwhile, Indian leftists are stunned at nationalisation in a country they view as pitilessly capitalist. Two of the nationalised corporations, Fannie May and Freddie Mac, are by far the biggest mortgage lenders in the world, with $5 trillion of mortgages and loans on their books. That’s five times India’s GDP, to put their size in perspective. The third corporation, AIG, is the biggest insurance company in the world. No nationalisation in professedly socialist countries was ever so big.

Chinese call for "new currency order"
BEIJING (Reuters) - Threatened by a "financial tsunami," the world must consider building a financial order no longer dependent on the United States, a leading Chinese state newspaper said on Wednesday.

The commentary in the overseas edition of the People's Daily said the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (LEH.P: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) "may augur an even larger impending global 'financial tsunami'."
3 Wood says this about that:
Oh, this is a bunch of crap. If everyone else was so worried about the dollar, then they would not all be standing back sucking their thumbs and waiting the the US to fix this mess. This is one of those "scare stories" I was talking about.China has been dealing with 12% to 15% inflation (that they admit to), so they have no room to be talking about other currencies being shaky. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.
OK. But Chinese Currency and Paulson have come up A LOT in my research lately:

SEPTEMBER 2006: Top on Paulson's list: getting China to loosen currency controls.

DECEMBER 2006: Paulson, China and the turmoil beneath
US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, an expert on China with more than 70 business trips there as a private banker, is in China with six other cabinet members and the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, to discuss US-China trade relations.

The venue is the first meeting of a newly created semi-annual Strategic Economic Dialogue. Reflecting the growing relationship between the US and Chinese economies, this dialogue will occur at the highest official levels and is the first of its kind. It will provide an overarching framework for ongoing productive bilateral economic dialogues and future economic relations. It will examine long-term strategic issues, as well as provide coordination among the specialized continuing dialogues. The Strategic Economic Dialogue will also be a forum for discussing ways the United States and China can work together to address economic challenges and opportunities as responsible stakeholders in the international economic system.
MARCH 2007: Paulson's Task: China's Currency, U.S. Opinions
Overall, Paulson has a very rosy picture about the future of the economy. In a week when former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan made waves by talking about the possibility of recession, the secretary insisted the U.S. economy is moving toward sustainable growth
JUNE 2007: Paulson Says China’s Currency ‘Doesn’t Reflect Reality’
In an interview with CFR.org, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson says U.S. policymakers will push China for more flexibility in taking steps in the short term that will allow its currency to appreciate, with an eye toward the currency having a market-determined valuation in the “intermediate term.” Paulson says there is a greater need for currency adjustment now than in 2005, when China took steps to reform its currency and loosen its peg to the U.S. dollar
