Int\u00e4kterna fr\u00e5n krigsobligationerna anv\u00e4ndes f\u00f6r att k\u00f6pa utrustning f\u00f6r kriget - Butler menar att mycket av detta var bortkastade pengar, till exempel f\u00f6r h\u00e4stsadlar eller myggn\u00e4t som inte beh\u00f6vdes. Eftersom f\u00f6retagen dessutom fick en fast vinstmarginal p\u00e5 10 % \u00f6ver alla produktionskostnader, och efterfr\u00e5gan var skyh\u00f6g, pumpade de artificiellt upp priserna (och d\u00e4rmed de absoluta vinsterna). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samtidigt var obligationerna garanterade av staten och en viss procent betalades ut i r\u00e4nta. De m\u00e5ste dock beh\u00e5llas tills de f\u00f6rfaller till betalning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\u00e4r krigsveteranerna kom tillbaka och inte kunde l\u00f6sa in sina krigsobligationer omedelbart beh\u00f6vde de fortfarande pengar f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rs\u00f6rja sina familjer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detta ledde till att de s\u00e5lde med f\u00f6rlust till bankerna. Om det finns en stor m\u00e4ngd liknande f\u00f6rem\u00e5l som erbjuds och s\u00e4ljarna \u00e4r villiga att s\u00e4lja med f\u00f6rlust, f\u00f6rlorar dessa f\u00f6rem\u00e5l naturligtvis i v\u00e4rde.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eftersom det handlade om statsst\u00f6dda krigsobligationer, som staten garanterade, kunde bankerna bara beh\u00e5lla dem och s\u00e4lja dem med betydande vinst n\u00e4r marknaden \u00e5ter stabiliserades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldaterna drabbades allts\u00e5 dubbelt: dels av kriget i sig, dels av ytterligare f\u00f6rlust av sina investeringar - som de hade blivit \u00f6vertalade till av regeringens propagandamaskin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Det h\u00e4r \u00e4r f\u00f6r \u00f6vrigt ett klassiskt s\u00e4tt som \u201cMr Market\u201d reagerar p\u00e5 - ibland kan man f\u00e5 $100 f\u00f6r $75 (ur bankens perspektiv i det h\u00e4r fallet), om n\u00e5gon annan \u00e4r villig att s\u00e4lja - eller har ett incitament att s\u00e4lja, till exempel finansiella p\u00e5tryckningar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Det \u00e4r nog viktigt f\u00f6r oss att aldrig hamna i s\u00e5dana l\u00e4gen d\u00e4r vi tvingas s\u00e4lja med f\u00f6rlust, att alltid ha en reserv f\u00f6r att kunna t\u00e4cka torrperioder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ytterligare intressant l\u00e4sning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/the-business-plot\">https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/the-business-plot<\/a> - En plan p\u00e5 Wall Street f\u00f6r att genomf\u00f6ra en fascistisk kupp i USA - som Butler hj\u00e4lpte till att f\u00f6rhindra<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Is_a_Racket\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Is_a_Racket <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smedley Butler was a very interesting person &#8211; he was a highly decorated Marine, having earned sixteen medals at the end of his career.
