The More Regulation… The Less Integrity

Posted on September 2, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the reason Americans don’t save money and the stock market is not a good investment is because the system is loaded. American’s are self-interested people rightly understood (rational maximizers). We will roll dice … Continue reading →

Medeival Doctors and the Economy

Posted on August 29, 2010 by john

Romantic Anti Capitalists

Posted on August 26, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the integration of African Americans into White society was as much a factor of capitalism as it was political. Take the example of Jacky Robinson into the major leagues. What today seems obvious … Continue reading →

What Metric to measure the Moralality of an Economic System?

Posted on August 19, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the statement “I find it morally wrong that some people have so much while others have so little.” is comparative. It compares that which the speaker knows nothing to that which the speaker … Continue reading →

Nuance

Posted on August 15, 2010 by john

UN and Climate Taxation

Human Heartedness and Government

Posted on August 4, 2010 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that to hold another person to a higher standard of personal conduct than one holds himself is not human hearted. To be “not human hearted” in this way, historically, qualifies a person to hold … Continue reading →
