Furthermore, these banks are limited to individual countries and for this reason, cannot reach out to remote corners of the globe. In addition, the banks have the ability to manipulate their customers, by controlling their purchases online. Likewise, They also have the ability to regulate the economy to their will, by controlling international trade. On the other hand, Cryptocurrencies have seen an increase in popularity in the past four years. With this in mind, Crypto is at the point now where they have enough support to take over the economy of some countries, earning billions per day in volume.

There were far too many independent banks during the period of the Great Depression, and the problem with the surplus of independent banks was the lack of support they could provide each other. The Run on the Banks resulted in the fall of banks, and an overall lack of confidence in the banking system. The overuse of credit in the economy helped trigger the run on the banks by people taking out loans from banks and then not being able to afford the continual payments, leading them to withdraw their money and shut down the banks. The Stock Market Crash was also a major factor in the start of the Great Depression. People who were buying into the stock market were gambling their money into the stock market in the hopes of making a quick profit (B).

According to the graphs from US economic figures published by Murray Rothbard, there were just about 4000 bank failures in 1933, which was before the FDIC was developed. Just after it was developed, there were barely any bank failures at all. This is another reason why it was necessary to change the role of the government, because banks likely would have kept failing if the FDIC was not established. Other government programs created by the New Deal focused on re-inflating the

The Silent Holocaust: The Guatemalan Genocides Genocide is not only a murderous madness, but the thought of a political Utopia, tempting many political leaders of multi-ethnic, religious, and cultural societies throughout history. From 1978 to 1983, General Efrain Rios Montt conducted inhumane acts and brutal killings against indigenous communities in Guatemala. ‘Death squads’ were sent into communities, killing anyone with a trace of fear in order to, “Dry up the human sea in which the guerrilla fish swim,” as stated by Montt. Although rebellion support was gained from cruel acts carried out by the government, troops responded to rebellious guerilla movements with massive massacres on innocent civilians.

FDR came up with a plan to put faith back into the banking system as well as insure the customer’s money was going to be their when they needed it. This program was called the FDIC “President Roosevelt signs this act on June 16, 1933, to raise the confidence of the U.S. public in the banking system by alleviating the disruptions caused by bank failures and bank runs.

The American businessmen interpreted the workers' militancy in the Railroad strikes of 1877 as a "revolutionary" movement to overthrow capitalism because they wanted to completely undermine the justified voice of the average worker.
