   In an article on 12/2/96 about Hans Teitmeyer, Chairman of Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, The Washington Post, wrote, "Hans Teitmeyer may wield greater power than any president or prime minister in Europe. He has never been elected to public office, yet he can make or break the fortunes of governments as well as investors. In this era of global markets and instant communications, the clout of central bankers has become awesome. Their word can affect the trillion dollars a day that churn through foreign exchanges. As chairman of Germany's Bundesbank, Teitmeyer holds special influence because the market affects the fate of other currencies."
   
   What does this reveal? (1) Teitmeyer (or any other central bank chairman) has more power than presidents or prime ministers. (2) Central bank governors and Chairmen are UNELECTED since they are appointed. (3) Because all of the world's countries have borrowed money from these private corporations called central banks, they are beholden to them.
   ...
   Hans Teitmeyer said the G-10 central bank governors, (which includes Alan Greenspan), would be reviewing the world payments system and electronic money and wanted to involve the emerging countries of Latin America and east Asia (FT, 2/10/97, p.4)
