| Silver: The Red-Headed, Freckle-Faced Stepchild |
| In grade school, I had a classmate named Craig McVeigh who was easily one of the most maligned kids in the school because as a big lad standing a full hand width taller than anyone and weighing thirty pounds more than anyone, he was never allowed to play in any sports that involved physical contact. Craig was fair, with bright, curly red hair with freckles adorning most of his exposed skin. Most of all, this lumbering giant of a boy was decidedly unlucky. He couldn't catch a break with a butterfFriday, September 8, 2017 |

| Nonmonetary Perspectives on the Great Depression 2: Steindl, Schwartz, and Eichengreen |
| We've been looking at the history of "nonmonetary interpretations of
the Great Depression" -- the idea that the onset of the Great
Depression was not caused by some kind of monetary factor. This was
actually the most common view, until the 1960s, and remains a common
view today among academics.

| Irving Fisher and "Debt Deflation" |
| Recently, I've been thinking about the credit contraction of the early
1930s. This generally gets far too little attention today, but people
have thought about it somewhat in the past. One such person was Irving
Fischer, a prominent economist of the time. He called it "debt
deflation." Here is a nice summary of his views:
"The Debt-Deflation Theory of Great Depressions," by Irving Fischer.

| Becoming a trusted user of air, land and water |
| Air, land and water are critical resources and provide us with trillions of dollars in eco system services. If we don't protect these precious resources, the cost will be great; without them, we have no economy, no society, and no eco-systems. But as the world's population grows, these resources are under increasing pressure, and must be used and shared responsibly.

| Metamorphosis Revisited |
| The very changes needed in our money universe, today,
would kill dollar demand by devaluing all dollar assets
in super higher gold prices. The debts and the dollars
would remain; only 90% of their current illusion of value
would vanish. Hyperinflation in prices of all wealth objects
will be the workout result of this process. As such,
opposing dollar political motive will force the US
to give the markets what is needed; both gold
and gold prices beyond imagination.

A new species of African butterfly has been named after an ArcelorMittal Liberia ecologist.
The recently discovered species, Wing's Epitola - Cephetola wingae, which belongs to the family of Blues (Lycaenidae) - bears Wing-Yunn Crawley's name in recognition of her significant contribution to ArcelorMittal Liberia's Biodiversity Conservation Programme, which aims to prevent or compensate for the long term impact of iron ore mining operations on the environment.

Gold opened the year trading around $1,675 per ounce. As of the 12/02/13 close,
gold futures were trading around $1,220 per ounce which would mean that thus
