By 1991, following the disintegration first of the Soviet bloc and then of the Soviet Union itself, the United States was left standing tall as the only global super-power. Not only the 20th but even the 21st century seemed destined to be the American centuries. But that super-optimism did not last long. During the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, the stock market bubble and the costly foreign unilateralism of the younger Bush presidency, as well as th

DUBLIN (Reuters) – An unemployed Irish artist has built a home from the shredded remains of 1.4 billion euros ($1.82 billion), a monument to the “madness” he says has been wrought on Ireland by the single currency, from a spectacular construction boom to a wrenching bust.

Frank Buckley built the apartment in the lobby of a Dublin office building that has lain vacant since its completion four years ago at the peak of an ill-fated construction boom, using bricks of shredded euro notes he borrowed from Ireland’s national mint.

“It’s a reflection of the whole madness that gripped us,” Buckley said of what he calls his “billion-euro home.”

“People were pouring billions into buildings now worth nothing,” he said. “I wanted to create something from nothing.”

A wave of cheap credit flowed into Ireland in the early 2000s after Ireland joined the currency zone fuelling a huge property bubble that transformed the country.

The bubble’s collapse since 2007 plunged Ireland into the deepest recession in the industrialized world, forcing the former “Celtic Tiger” to accept a humiliating bailout from the EU and the IMF.

Buckley was given a 100 percent mortgage at the peak of the boom to buy a 365,000 euro home on the far reaches of Dublin’s commuter belt, despite the fact he had no steady income.

He has separated from his wife who lives in the home, which has since lost at least one-third of its value.

Living in his “billion euro home” since the start of December, Buckley is working on adding a kitchen to the living room and hall.

The walls and floor are covered in euro shreddings and the house is so warm Buckley sleeps without a blanket.

Pictures made from notes and coins decorate the walls, including one of a house, made from Irish 5 pence pieces.

“There are houses in Ireland worth less than that,” Buckley quips.

Buckley said he wants Europe’s politicians to solve the eurozone debt crisis without destroying its currency. But if the currency ultimately fails, he will happily use the euro zone’s defunct notes as fodder for future projects.

“Whatever you say about the euro, it’s a great insulator.”

In the media recently, the question is being asked: how it is that the wealthy are doing so well while the middle class is suffering in comparison? The usual villains named are outsourcing and the resulting decline of the manufacturing base. Blame also goes to NAFTA and the other trade agreements negotiated by the last three administrations.

But there is another and more fundamental reason why we have this dramatic disparity in income. If you remember Economics 101 in college and the topic about the relationship between commodities and money, you may have seen, as I did, this little formulation written on the blackboard: C-M-C vs. M-C-M. The lecture had to do with a healthy system vs. an unhealthy one. I even recall the professor using the terms ethical and unethical in this context.

In a C-M-C economy, money functions as it was intended as the medium of exchange between commodities, all kinds of raw materials, produce, manufactured goods and services. In this natural system, some of the money made and earned passes into the hands of workers and that money works its way around and through the economy, benefitting many people. In effect wages multiply in value.

In an M-C-M economy, on the other hand, money is perverted into a commodity and real commodities serve only as an artificial and unnatural medium of exchange. In other words, people use money to make more money. In these cases money does not work into the general economy for the general welfare but remains in the hands of the few, sometimes not even involving a commodity except in name only. Combine that arrangement with beneficial tax and loophole policies and the effect is multiplied and protected.

One caveat: some may recognize the M-C-M system as an expression for arbitrage, the business of buying and selling of money, usually with no commodities involved. Sometimes, arbitrage serves a useful purpose in keeping the prices of commodities in balance with different currencies, but in general those in arbitrage have little or no contact with real commodities. But there is still a danger as we have seen in arbitrage manipulation of markets.

The point here is to suggest that using money to make money with little relationship to commodity is an unhealthy practice because it bypasses the makers of products, most of whom are the Middle Class. The result is that workers are left out of the loop and there are no wages to work their magic in the economy as a whole.

Another answer given to the disparity between the rich and the middle class is the failure of so-called trickle down economics. But here again is a misunderstanding. In an M-C-M economy, there is nothing to trickle down because commodity is either not involved or only marginally involved. And if the wealthy choose not to invest in the creation of commodity, the flow of money dries up.

As my professor explained to us in that Econ 101 class, he acquired knowledge and experience to sell to an institution which paid him a salary so that he could offer courses that students were willing to buy in order to acquire knowledge and experience. It was C-M-C working in good order. It worked for me for forty years in education and can work again.

Until you submit a subpoena for the tape they don’t have to give it to you. If they give it to you late, you can request a postponement, however they will not dismiss.

But after Visentin gave up four goals on 17 shots and Wedgewood stopped all 10 shots he faced before the Swedes scored an empty-net goal, questions arose over which goalie was the most ready for the tournament.

Hay did say he plans to play both goalies in the tournament. That’s not unusual.

The backup often gets a game in the preliminary round against the weaker country promoted from the second-tier world championship, which would be Thursday’s game against Denmark.

“Both goalies feel, at least I feel that way right now, is that both goalies feel there’s confidence coming from me to them,” Hay said. “No matter who we play, no matter what time of the game it is, or against whoever, I think the goalies should have a lot of confidence.”

The U.S. meets Denmark in the later Pool A game in Edmonton. Latvia and Sweden open Pool B games in Calgary on Monday afternoon, followed by defending champion Russia versus Switzerland at night.

The top team in each pool earns byes to the semifinals. The second and third seeds cross over to meet in the quarter-finals.

Canada has won a medal in this tournament 13 straight years, including five gold from 2005 to 2009, and has played in the final every year for the last decade. Canada took silver the last two years.

Securing the bye to the semifinals provides rest and an extra day of preparation to the countries who earn them, but in recent tournaments, the bye hasn’t been that much of an advantage.

Three of the last four winners have come through a quarter-final — Canada in 2008, the U.S. in 2010 and Russia in 2011.

Canada opens against the Finns after beating them 3-1 in an exhibition game Dec. 19. Finland played hard in that game despite having just recently arrived in Canada.

“We were in that game,” Finnish coach Raimo Helminen said. “I don’t know if we can be better but I hope so (that) we can compete against the big favourite.”

Helminen, too, was secretive on the subject of his starting goalie. Chris Gibson, who plays for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Chicoutimi Sagueneens, was outstanding his two periods of the exhibition game against Canada.

Sam Aittokallio played the last period and the Colorado Avalanche prospect has the experience of playing one game in the tournament in Buffalo.

The Finns last won this tournament in 1998 and are looking for a bounce-back year after finishing sixth in Buffalo. They have six returning players, as well as a player who is considered the best one outside the NHL this season in Mikael Granlund.

The first-round pick (ninth overall) of the Minnesota Wild is a player Canada must pay attention to, says Hay.

“The Granlund line is a very talented line,” Hay said. “They’re very explosive and they’re the key I feel to their team and we have to make sure we limit their offensive opportunities.”

Canada went 2-1 in pre-tournament play. Visentin of the Niagara IceDogs made 22 saves in the exhibition games versus the Finns. The first-round pick of the Phoenix Coyotes is more conservative in his movements in net than the acrobatic Wedgewood.

Visentin was handed the starting job for the medal round in Buffalo and backstopped Canada to wins in the quarter-final and semifinal. Canada was leading 3-0 heading into the third period of the gold-medal game, but Russia scored five unanswered goals on Visentin to take the title.

He’s never shirked from addressing his role in the collapse. The maturity and experience he gained through that experience is considered valuable to Canada’s chances in this tournament.

“My mentality is the same as the team’s,” Visentin said Sunday. “We want to get better each and every day and once the tournament starts we need to bring our ‘A’ game every day so that’s what I’m going to do.”

Wedgwood, who plays for the Plymouth Whalers, stopped 24 of 25 shots in Canada’s 7-1 victory over Switzerland on Thursday. The third-round pick of the New Jersey Devils was a standout in selection camp.

“The coaches are going to make a decision they feel comfortable with and as a goalie you’ve got to deal with it,” Wedgewood said. “When you get your opportunity, take it.”

The Canadian team spent Christmas Eve at the home of Edmonton Oilers president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe and then received Christmas gifts from Hockey Canada back at their hotel.

“The last week has been fun, we worked on a lot, I think we got a lot better and we became closer as a team, but the tournament is finally here and the atmosphere is going to be great,” Canadian captain Jaden Schwartz said. “Finland is going to be a first tough contest for us so we’re real excited.”

To help keep costs in line, the fiber links are for consumer accounts only, at least so far. Jasper has been an ardent foe of broadband caps, where ISPs place a limit on the amount of data a customer can use each month. However, when it comes to delivering broadband to businesses, he recognizes that a superfast gigabit connection to a business will have a very different usage pattern than one delivered to a consumer. Yet currently Sonic.net only charges businesses a bit more than residential services at $45 and $90 respectively). Under a gigabit network, that lack of price differential and the possibility for a business to use all of their connection (or even half) becomes unsustainable.

“We haven’t built our fiber past any businesses yet, and we did it intentionally,” Jasper said. “With our stance on no capping, I have a little bit of concern delivering 1 gig to a business at $89.95 and them using half of it, because that could really happen.”

Sonic.net has a decade and a half modeling usage for consumers at lower prices than rivals offer, but with businesses and their demand for broadband, Jasper says there are a lot of unknowns. For example, the lack of applications for gigabit networks probably helps Jasper here, as does the fact that most consumers typically use downlink services to consume content. And currently there’s a limit to how much they can consume, even with three or four TVs downloading or streaming HD content.

“Consumption is still constrained by the number of TVs and hard drives and even though everyone eventually has more stuff, practically speaking it really does end up normalizing down to a reasonable level,” Jasper says. He points out that the inbound bandwidth costs and middle mile bandwidth costs are getting less and less expensive, which means that customers downloading content isn’t a giant cost suck. But a business might hook a data center or several servers up on a gigabit connection and use that to send a lot of traffic out. And that could get expensive.

So for those watching U.S. broadband policy, between Google’s plans to deploy fiber to the home in both Kansas Cities, a few municipal networks, Verizon’s FiOS network and Sonic.net’s plans, we’re getting more people to a gigabit. It can be done, so let’s see what we can learn as these companies push ahead. And when others say it can’t be done, perhaps we’ll have the information that proves them wrong.
