[@bobyberry8394]

This really started because the British wanted to break the tea market monopoly by the Chinese, so they flooded main land China with opium, same way CIA flooded ghettos in the 70's with crack. "The roots of the Opium War (or First China War) lay in a trade dispute between the British and the Chinese Qing Dynasty. By the start of the 19th century, the trade in Chinese goods such as tea, silks and porcelain was extremely lucrative for British merchants. The problem was that the Chinese would not buy British products in return. They would only sell their goods in exchange for silver, and as a result large amounts of silver were leaving Britain. In order to stop this, the East India Company and other British merchants began to smuggle Indian opium into China illegally, for which they demanded payment in silver. This was then used to buy tea and other goods. By 1839, opium sales to China paid for the entire tea trade."

The richest man in the UK at that time was the Duke if Westminster, worth about £10 million, and the richest American, Cornelius Vanderbilt, worth double that at £20 million, or $100 million. From the book "28 years on wall street" by Henry Clews: "Mr. Chauncey Depew, who succeeded to the presidency of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, was upon one occasion, while visiting in London, a guest at a dinner given to the Hon. Wm. E. Gladstone, then Premier of England, and was honored by a seat on the left of Mr. Gladstone, with whom he discussed the differences between American and English railroad and financial management. In the course of conversation Mr. Gladstone said, " I understand you have a man in your country who is worth £20,000,000 or $100,000,000, and it is all in property which he can convert at will into cash. The Government ought to seize his property and take it away from him, as it is too dangerous a power for any one man to have . Supposing he should convert his property into money and lock it up, it would make a panic in America which would extend to this country and every other part of the world, and be a great injury to a large number of innocent people." Mr. Depew admitted that the gentleman referred to - who was Mr. Vanderbilt - had fully the amount of money named and more, and in his usual suave and conclusive way, replied, a But you have, Mr. Gladstone, a man in England who has equally as large a fortune Mr. Gladstone said, " I suppose you mean the Duke of Westminster. The Duke of Westminster's property is not as large as that. I know all about his property and have kept pace with it for many years past. The Duke's property is worth about £10,000,000 or $50,000,000, but it is not in securities which can be turned into ready cash and thereby absorb the current money of the country, so that he can make any dangerous use of it, for it is merely an hereditary right, the enjoyment of it that he possesses. It is inalienable, and it is so with all great fortunes in this country, and thus, I think, we are better protected here in England than you are in America." "Ah, but like you in England, we in America do not consider a fortune dangerous," was the ready response. "

That sum today buys just a decent house in London. Such an insane devaluation means that there are two parallel worlds. In one, people work hard, give up their youth to make savings, pay mortgage, increase their productivity year by year through technology, organization and innovation. In the other world, those who control the printing presses and the banks get to extract parts of the produce of the work of those in the first group, to buy assets and "invest" in businesses to give them something to do. Just like Ford said: luckily, few of those in the first group understand how banking (or inflation) work.

[@schmoukiz]

@Vlodec If by : "a price for everything" you mean divine justice or karmic law, I agree. Some sort of payback will exist for such an act of parasitism as extracting a growing part of every man's effort. It doesn't mean we should accept this slow theft lightly, without "bitterness". As someone said above, we have the right to. It is a moral act to fight against it, not something grown out of frustration of being on the losing side. Giving some a free-ride is less important than the corrupting effects this system has on the rest of population. Just compare the moderate, balanced lifestyle one had in a normal world, where small family businesses could survive, when manufacturing or selling something on a small scale would afford paying rent, building a house, raising children. In comparison, we now have concentration of capital, long hours that mean no personal life, obscene housing prices and lower people forced to adopt the same obsession for making money by all means on expense of others. Because you don't compete with other people, who are saving in the same rate as you to make an investment or a purchase. You compete with investors who produce money and write laws in their advantage. To add insult to injury, the same class of parasites are lecturing the rest of the world about not being "productive enough". Real productivity has grown immensely - think of all the new machinery and processes of production and infrastructure - but it's not reflected in real gains. Or they buy the assets and natural resources of smaller countries with their funny money and their monopoly on credit, and then lecture those countries for being "corrupt", "inefficient" or "over indebted".

Jefferson found the money for the Louisiana Purchase and did it practically behind Congress' back. Seward bought Alaska from the Russians (don't know for how much at the moment) with money that was readily available to him, even tho he also got alot of grief for it. Britain at the time of Suez was at the height of its power, unlike the US. Disraeli should have had no problem finding four mil in the government's coffers, even on very short notice.

People in power have always been rich and come from rich families that’s where they came up with the money and also there families usually have ties with the banks that make them rich

@@shelbynamels973 Not really an apples to apples comparison. It wasn't that the government didn't have the money, it's that they just weren't liquid enough at that time to get the 4MM in the time they needed. They had it, they just couldn't liquidate fast enough and also would need to go through congress to get it. The Louisiana purchases was funded via gold reserves the US had and bond issuance from France, they had way more time to get that in order. You also have to think of the time. America didn't even have income tax back then and the UK's income tax rate was way lower than it is now. Government didn't have payroll deduction to supply their cash reserves like they do now.

From reading the comments i see that no one as really taken much notice of what the outcome is from such an investment of £4,000,000. Today the cost of passage through the Suez Canal is $465,000 or £354,000, roughly 50 ships pass through a day, 17,000 a year that equals to over $7,812,000,000 or £5,947,200,000 per year.

Egypt nationalized the canal 80 years ago. I doubt the British still receive royalties.

Alison Hilll Russia had invaded the Crimea not long ago and Russia was setting its sights elsewhere such as Afghanistan. Britain and Russia would go toe to toe over dominance in Asia and in Europe so blaming wouldn't be the right word more like "the general cause of why we're invading".

Four-million Pounds-Sterling is about 200-million in today's money. That's barely a rounding-error in today's international economy.

[@johnholmes2745]

You’re not accounting for commodity inflation far surpassing the rate of income inflation. In the 1950’s the average house in England cost £1891, the average yearly income was £600. Now it’s around £250,000 while the average income is £30,000. This reflects how much 4 million was in the 1870’s.
