To PSN and WSN--(with apologies to those of you on both lists who will
get this twice....)
Some students and colleagues are doing research on the
conflicts between various circles of banks in the U.S. and how that plays
itself out in politics---eg. China policy, mid-east policy, Militias,
domestic oil versus international oil, etc. etc.
The question of steel mill ownership is important. There have been many
new steel mills, often called "mini-mills" set up particularly in the South
(Alabama, etc.). I would appreciate either information, or sources of
information on investigating which types of money is behind these newer
mills--are they competing with the "Old Money" steel mills of USX, Inland,
LTV, Bethlehem, etc.?? Are they owned by different groups of bankers,
foreign or domestic---that might be in conflict with the traditional steel
corporations and their New York/Pittsburgh/Chicago-Gary backers?
If anyone has this information, (or the titles of books or articles or
other sources on this question) I would appreciate it if you could point me
in those directions. You can either send it to me personally:
or post it to the whole list if you think your information would be
useful to the list in general.
Thanks,
Alan Spector
