CME reported to make attempt to save US Capitalism from German takeover.

The leaders of Germany nowadays take less and less trouble to disguise the fact that they already hold the other 26 former nations of the EU under their heel. Now their attention is turning to the US, (see also my recent posting on Thyssen Krupp Steel in America,) where Germany's Deutsch Borse is about to complete a takeover of the New York Stock Exchange.

CME Group, who run the Chicago-based futures exchange, are now reported to be considering making an alternative hostile bid for the home of U.S. capitalism, as may be read from here. Let us hope it materialises!
