Watch the whole 29-minute interview at http://www.goldmoney.com/vogt-interview. Claus Vogt (http://www.sicheres-geld.de/) and James Turk talk about the possibilities for reform and the need for grassroots pressure on politicians. Politicians are never proactive, they always react and there is no stomach or political will currently to carry out reforms that will allow a transition to a new monetary system to take place in an orderly fashion. Claus does not think that Germany can lead the way but hopes that it will jump on the bandwagon if the US makes the first move. James Turk has some hope that progress can me made in the US at the State level, since Washington is utterly paralyzed. They talk about the alternative currency movements and constitutional money initiatives in over a dozen States. The interview was recorded on 14 May, 2011 in Hamburg, Germany.
