COMER is an international publishing and education resource based in Toronto, Canada, and is comprised of people who are concerned about the destabilization current economic and monetary policies have caused and are causing for the citizens of Canada and other nation states.

COMER argues for prices in a mixed economy (economic reform) and advocates for changes in monetary policy (monetary reform) through revisions in the Bank of Canada Act. Explanations of why these reforms are needed and how they might be implemented are available through links on the homepage and elsewhere on this site.

Meltdown 1 (1988-98)
An important critique of 10 years of economic policy blundering that led to today's unsustainable global casino – with many key proposals for reform and a more sensible, equitable and financial architecture for our common future. $25 [+ shipping and handling] More

Meltdown 2 (1999-01)
To put the economies of the world under the complete control of the financial sector...brought on the Depression of the thirties that led to the Second World War... The inescapable one way out from a Third World War, which appears more inescapably in the offing, is to prevent our governments from persisting in the dumbing-down process of our society. $30 [+ shipping and handling] More

Meltdown 3 (2002-03)
The theme here is the headlong Wall Street encounter of the mathematics of the atomic bomb translated into big business format. Big Trouble. Our governments have not even come close to finding their way out of this major catastrophe. To do so would require that they dig up the teaching of some of our greatest economists, who they have so assiduously buried. It is the purpose of Meltdown and COMER to lend them a helping hand in this ever more urgent task. $30 [+ shipping and handling] More

Meltdown 4 (2004-June 2005)
Covers COMER, 2004 to July 2005
This new book tracks down the extent of the banking scam that distorts accountancy and misuses mathematics. It makes the point that you can buy insurance against what is risky but that if a proposition is not just risky but wrong, there is no real insurance. And economics departments have been swept clean of staff who dare remember the teachings of great economists and the policies that got the US out of the Great Depression. These issues are fully explored. $30 [+ shipping and handling] More

Towards a Non-Autistic Economy
Marginal Utility theory "confuses scarcity with wealth," according to Krehm. "It validates the speculative increase of demand on the stock market as the most prolific multiplier of 'value'. That makes it obligatory to rethink economic theory from the bottom up." $20 [+ shipping and handling] More

A Power Unto Itself
Here, Mr. Krehm highlights Canadian financial solutions that are easily within our grasp, showing:

• How the Bank, under a previous governor, financed Canada's war effort in imaginative and virtually risk-free ways, encouraging sustained postwar prosperity.
• How these proven remedies would combat our mounting deficits and crushing unemployment rates.
• How the Bank could assist provincial governments in acheiving economic renewal.

In Babel's Tower Krehm develops a relativistic view of all economic theory. This is necessary, so as to establish the quite different logics that govern the subsystems that make up our pluralistic economy.

Babel's Tower abounds with new concepts and tools that are indispensible for understanding and managing our mixed economy - structural quasi-rents, inter-sectorial transforms, modulus congruence calculus. The book is accessible to the intelligent layman. $10 [+ shipping and handling] More

Price in a Mixed Economy
Our society has become a pluralistic one – with non-market forces feeding elements of price rise into the economy; our economic theory, however, has remained a monistic one that sees price determined by the self-equilibrating interplay of supply and demand.

Price in a Mixed Economy formulates a grammar of economic feasibility that sets out the real choices open to society. $15  [+ shipping and handling] More

Democracies and Tyrannies of the Carribean in the 1940’s
This volume describes vividly the tyrannical and corrupt forces that controlled, with U.S. support, most Central American countries at that time.

No U.S. publisher would risk this book in the 40’s. It was published in Spanish in 1949, the original English version in 1984, and again in 1999 with a new introduction by the author.

Essential reading for those concerned with the recent history of Latin America. There is nothing quite like this book in its field. $15 [+ shipping and handling]
