Hubris Leads To Destruction

Posted on November 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems the acme of hubris to me, for someone to think they should take over that which they could never have created. We see this in armed robbery, hostile takeovers, and nationalizations. When someone who was unable … Continue reading →

How To Become an Innovation Nation

Posted on December 29, 2019 by john

Small Businesses, the Engine of Economic Growth

Posted on August 15, 2016 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the barriers to starting a small business have never been higher, as evidenced by the dearth of small businesses that are starting up. This is critical because the economic potential of any economy is … Continue reading →

The Coefficient of Opportunity

Posted on February 11, 2016 by john

Dear friends, It seems to me, interest rates should be a reflection of the coefficient of opportunity in an economy, not some random arbitrary level set by an elitist brainiac. Speaking of elitist brainiacs, Janet Yellen will be making her … Continue reading →

The War on Prosperity

Posted on December 6, 2012 by john

Posted on July 4, 2012 by john
