The Rothschild probably had $200 billion decades ago... but because they kept banking private, they lost a bit with some overall devaluation. Still, their inbreeding clearly worked to keep the family name going and in control of so much. The most powerful people own a holdings company with dozens of branches in the most varied fields. The Rothschild bought one or two of the premier wine farms in France, even.

@grt: Yeah, it's just disgusting that the B of E seem to warrant printing digital money out of thin air like that for the bankers even though the bankers are supposed to be bullet-proof now from these sort of market instabilities(so we keep being told)... I mean do they really need that extra funding and I'd be interested to know if any financial institutions have used some of that funding already to make themselves a lot more money during this period than they'd have to pay back? Virtually given a free-bee to make extra money if you know what I mean?

Ok, you explained why being a sovereign nation has advantages but I still don't see how it solves fundamental problems of capitalism (like the ones I originally quoted from your post).
Might watch the video if it's not too long.
I no longer perceive the Western financial system as being capitalism vin. Not in the true sense of what capitalism is understood to mean. Bank bail-outs on a far reaching and mammoth scale do not fit with the definition. Nor do "bail-ins" for that matter. I think the present system is more akin to what I would describe as rampant "corporatism" and to many intents and purposes is arguably a kleptocracy in how it functions and operates. If 1% (some would say 62 families) own over 50% of the world's financial wealth then something has gone slightly askew with the concept of capitalism I think many would argue. The corporate interests that actively lobby at the EU are no different from the corporate interests that lobby elsewhere in the Western world and in particular in Washington.
So what I am suggesting is if you're out at least as a nation you might have more of a chance, to a small degree at least, of trying something a little different. Maybe you might have more of an opportunity to change and alter the financial system that operates in your country to the benefit of the majority. Take Iceland for want of a better example..

It's not a coincidence, it was made on purpose. Maybe to stress the fact that the EU wants itself to be multi-language and multi-cultural (concepts hard to swallow for some, I know).
No wait, I've just read the text in the yellow square on the lower right corner of the image ...
BTW, I can also see people with square heads in the image. I'm sure some will have a perfectly conspiratorial explanation for that too. Not that I want to hear it though ...

Observing vague similarities between 2 buildings (one of which has been seen only in ancient paintings) is one thing.
Implying there's a master plan and justifying that by the building similarities is another.

I can't judge Mr. Roberts, I've only said that when discussing if an apple is red or green there's no need to bring arguments involving world domination, banks conspiracy or the tower of babel.
Because if you do so, people will stop listening to you. Even if a little part of what you're saying may have sense.

@grT: all the reports and declarations I've read say that ignoring the referendum result is not an option. So I don't know where Dr. Paul Craig Roberts gets his info, I suspect it's the same place he gets his space cookies from ...

It's like another news outlet round here now. Regurgitating press releases and predicting gloom and doom. I hoped the discussion might move to solutions the EU should be taking to make it work, but it seems we are still in the finger pointing and impending doom mongering stage for quite a while yet, especially as it is so much 'fun' for so many people. Sorry if that comes off as grumpy but try living here surrounded by the soothsayers and hind-sighters, then have to read it all again on my second favourite forum! So its best I step out for a bit now or it might make me.....
