Female Problems

James Howard Kunstler
History-the-trickster has paradoxically anointed the Great Disrupter, Mr. Trump, as the agent of order while the Democrats seek to bring chaos into every quarter of American life, a party of shrieking “Karens” and men acting like women. Such as: Tom Friedman of The New York Times mewling like a little girl to Anderson Cooper on CNN Thursday night that he was “living in terror,” that “everybody should be terrified,” because Mr. Trump “refuses t...

Should Investors Focus on Risk Rather Than Profit?

Frank Shostak
According to the modern portfolio theory (MPT), financial asset prices always fully reflect all available and relevant information, and any adjustment to new information is virtually instantaneous. In this way of thinking, asset prices respond only to the unexpected part of any information, since the expected part is already embedded in prices. For instance, if the central bank raises interest rates by 0.5 percent, and if market participants a...

Swamp Thang

James Howard Kunstler
There’s the Swamp teeming with scaley, slithery, sharp-toothed, many-footed predators, but then there’s the miasma hanging over the Swamp, a toxic mist of lies, misdirection, dis-info, propaganda, bad faith, and sedition, illuminated by pulsing blue gaslight that affords a toxic blanket of protection to the denizens of the Swamp. Now a storm is brewing. The critters are evacuating their mud-holes and moiling about desperately among the cypress...

Not too much freedom, please!

George F. Smith
I’m feeling grateful today and hope you are too. I’ve heard it said that the problem with atheists is when they feel grateful they have no one to thank.  Or as it usually written, no One to thank.  That may be true in the case of a hand grenade landing at your feet that turns out to be a dud, but for other situations I can name names and state specifically why I’m grateful. Oh, you want me to name a few?  At the outset I feel like Leonard Rea...

Hyperinflation in Germany, 1919-1923

Nathan Lewis
Recently, I have been getting a number of inquiries about hyperinflation in Germany in the early 1920s. Mostly, this centers on the final collapse in 1923. But, to my mind, that is the least interesting part of the process. “Hyperinflation” is actually...

Turning to Keynes in this Crisis Will Only Make Things Worse

Frank Shostak
In the New York Times on September 8, 2020, Paul Krugman wrote that The CARES Act, enacted in March, gave the unemployed an extra $600 a week in benefits. This supplement played a crucial role in limiting extreme hardship; poverty may even have gone do...

A serious shortage of testosterone

George F. Smith
I wondered how a tough prisoner kept in isolation for the past year might react if he was released and transported to a street corner on the outskirts of a major American city — say, near Lenox Square in Atlanta — without prepping from the prison bureaucrats that had kept him confined.    So I made one up.  No name, just an incorrigible prisoner.  Here’s my take on how he might react: You know what he would see — people going about with their...

Bringing a Bazooka to a Knife Fight

James Howard Kunstler
You heard it here first: Joe Biden will call in “sick” to the presidential candidates’ debate on Tuesday, September 29, and within days the Democratic Party will be obliged to replace him. Enough said for now. Wait for it…. Onto the election issue du jour: putting out ideological fires set by political arsonists: namely, the “systemic racism” hustle cooked up by “progressive” anarcho-terrorists to provoke hatred and division in a nation sore b...

What the Trade Balance Means for a Currency's Purchasing Power

Frank Shostak
In July this year the US trade balance stood at a deficit of $63.6 billion against a deficit of $51 billion in July last year. Some commentators regard a widening in the trade deficit as an ominous sign for the exchange rate of the US dollar against ma...

Trump, Biden, or the free market

George F. Smith
The title of this article suggests we have a choice between three candidates. And we do. But where do we find the free market on the ballot?  Ballots contain the names of people.  The free market is not a person, it is many persons, starting wit...

Convergence of Quandaries

James Howard Kunstler
And so, America has a new manufactured crisis, ElectionGate, as if all the other troubles piling up like tropical depressions marching across the September seas were not enough. Let me remind you what else is going on. The Wuhan pandemic is still on the scene, the economy is collapsing, a domestic race-war is escalating, the whole west coast is burning, and US oil production is crashing. Oh… and slow-moving tropical storm Sally is forecast to ...

When There are No Consequences for Anything

James Howard Kunstler
The Democratic Party with its deep state auxiliaries begins to look like a monstrous hybrid of Matt Taibbi’s fabled Vampire Squid and the skulking Kraken of the maelstrom, devouring the innards of our republic in its deep, dark depths one institution a...

We're Headed toward Stagnation—Unless the Fed Reins In Its Money Printing

Frank Shostak
The US Fed is considering lifting its inflation target above 2 percent in order to revive the economy. Contrary to the accepted practice, the Fed is not expected to raise an alarm if the measured price inflation begins to rise. The US central bank is not expected to counter this increase with a tighter monetary stance as in the past. In fact, the idea is to continue robust monetary pumping until the economic data points toward a strong economy...

The Ghost in the Machine

James Howard Kunstler
The abiding mystery of the 2020 election is how come the Democratic Party, wishing so zealously to win back power, took pains to nominate a candidate weaker than the ghost of Millard Fillmore. Resorting to Occam’s Razor, one might have to conclude that Joe Biden was simply the best they had — a surefire case for the party’s necessary extinction. The Labor Day starting-gun kicks off the high campaign season and Ol’ White Joe wobbles forth from ...

Hillsdale College

Nathan Lewis
A reader complained that I have not included Hillsdale College in my discussion of college alternatives. This is a valid complaint, so today, let’s take a quick look at Hillsdale, especially for those readers of this series who are not familiar with it. Build Your Own College series Hillsdale is a rather wonderful, and underappreciated, college in Hillsdale, Michigan, known for its conservative, Constitutionalist curriculum. It would ser...

Why I want Big Government and you should too!

George F. Smith
The deafening silence of the mainstream media over the CDC’s admission that only 6% of COVID patients died of COVID-only is hardly shocking.They seem on-board with everything that brings this country to complete destruction — a terrorized and submissiv...

Back to School…D’ya Think?

James Howard Kunstler
After the spring from hell, and two months of summer staycation, families across the land anxiously await the very dubious reopening of the school year. The Covid-19 virus has revealed structural cracks in the mighty fortress of public education. Some districts remain closed, or only tentatively and partially open. It’s easy to see where this is going. I got a letter this week from a high school physics teacher in New England — who wants to re...

The Best of Times During the Worst of Times

Peter Schiff
While most people generally understand that the stock market and the economy do not move in lock step, there is still an underlying belief that a strong market reflects a strong economy. But according to that logic, our current economy must be historically strong. If this strikes you as strange, given that we are in the midst of a destabilizing and polarizing pandemic, and a period of political risk that threatens the foundations of the Republ...

Why Economics Cannot Be Understood through Experimentation

Frank Shostak
In the natural sciences, a laboratory experiment can isolate various elements and their movements. There is no equivalent in the discipline of economics. The employment of econometrics and econometric model building is an attempt to create a laboratory where controlled experiments can be conducted. Building an Economic Model The idea of having such a laboratory is very appealing to economists and politicians. Once the model is built and endors...

How Countries Get Out Of Crisis

Nathan Lewis
Today, there is a lot of talk that the U.S. is entering a crisis phase. This is right in line — both in character and timing — with the thesis presented 23 years ago by William Strauss and Neil Howe in The Fourth Turning (1997). But, today we will talk...

Modern Monetary Theory Simplified

Nathan Lewis
I have written a couple of items about “modern monetary theory,” but I wanted to make things somewhat simpler. Basically, most of the claims of “modern monetary theory” are true; and, we are already doing them. We’ve been doing them for the last fifty ...

Bill of Particulars

James Howard Kunstler
The few times this Covid-19 year of seclusion that friends have come over for dinner, they’re horrified to hear me say that I will do whatever I can to prevent the Democrats from winning the election. I was never a big thumper for Donald Trump, and didn’t vote for him in 2016, but I will this time. I’m in favor of his policy stands for defending the US border and stopping the flow of illegal migrants, on ending our foolish misadventures in for...

Don't Settle

George F. Smith
There are people who fight for smaller government and call themselves conservatives or libertarians. They write, speak, join clubs, talk with friends and neighbors or otherwise promote their convictions about the dangers inherent in too-large a State.It’s hard for any freedom-lover not to sympathize with them to an extent, until you consider their lack of political principle. Any given libertarian or conservative would almost certainly oppose...

The BOJ in 2020

Nathan Lewis
Today we are updating our information about the Bank of Japan and commercial banks’ balance sheets. Although there was a lift in the monetary base in 2020, this was not so big as a percentage. This is in part because the balance sheet is so big already. So, the overall situation, odd as it has been already, hasn’t changed much. The expansion of the monetary base has led to a little rise in cash assets (as a percentage of total as...

The Duration of What?

James Howard Kunstler
It’s nice to see The New York Times acting like a whipped dog after hounding the nation year upon year through thickets of falsehood and deceit to put over their hustle of systemic racism.  “…some worry that local Democratic leaders are failing…” Really? Do you think that videos showing flash mobs of black looters rampaging through a Target Store, busting up cars on a dealer’s lot with baseball bats, and setting fire to a furniture shop might ...

Want to Really Cut Taxes? Cut Government Spending.

Frank Shostak
New government spending projects amount to little more than government squandering wealth. The fact that the private sector does not undertake these projects indicates that they are of low priority to individuals. The implementation of these projects w...

"Vote Here"

George F. Smith
Signs are emerging around the country directing people into churches and schools where they can cast votes for others who will represent them in the state apparatus.Only a few people actually do this. The State in its various forms (local, state, and ...

Biblical Travails

James Howard Kunstler
It’s looking a little bit like the nation’s attention to the Republican Trump-O-Rama Fest this week will get shoved rudely aside by Hurricane Laura, currently tracking to make a direct hit on New Orleans and then beat a path up the south-central USA, drowning croplands clear into Kentucky and Ohio. The internal quarrels of the GOP will have to take a backseat to disaster relief. It might be a political blessing for the president, unless he blu...

“Good Trouble” and Not-Good Trouble

James Howard Kunstler
And so, the party of the Resistance has completed its solemn four day confab of info-ceremonials and sent forth its Primero Ingenioso Hidalgo, Joe Biden, on his limping horse of platitudes, armored by news media hosannahs, a saintly woman-of-color at his side to assist, tilting onward with his lance of moral instruction to bring love, hope and light to a world darkened by the shadow of MAGA-Diablo, Trump-the-Terrible. Plus, Joe promised to sto...
