Pareto Is The Enemy Of Central Planning

Posted on January 25, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, once one accepts that Pareto was right, then the question shifts from how to get rid of poverty to what’s the best way to distribute wealth? If poverty can’t be eliminated, then we should … Continue reading →

Limericks

Posted on November 13, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, The press has become a pig sty,Now they’re caught in another lie,Uninformed,Misinformed,And obtuse when they think they’re sly. The central planners look out for us,That’s why they often hit us with a bus,It’s a profit driver,A good conniver,Then … Continue reading →

Perfect Competition

Posted on July 6, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, no company on Earth wants perfect competition in its own industry, but every company seeks perfect competition in the job market. Why? It’s self-serving. Companies want cheap labor and expensive products. That paradigm allows … Continue reading →

Innovation, Luxury and Necessity

Posted on January 17, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, one lens through which we could examine human history, is that of luxuries changing into necessities. Take bread for example. During the ice age, and even after farming had been adopted, bread was a … Continue reading →

Inflation And Deflation

Posted on December 4, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, when Trump takes command, even if the Fed were to cut interest rates, there will be deflation, not inflation… as long as he cuts government spending, taxes and regulation at the same time. Think … Continue reading →

Ecology As An Analogue Of Economics

Posted on August 2, 2024 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the world’s ecosystem is an example of perfect competition. Habitats are an analogue of an economy. Or more appropriately, free enterprise is an analogue of an ecosystem. Each entity vying for the same limited … Continue reading →

Why Meritocracy?

Posted on June 30, 2023 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, we don’t seek meritocracy for the benefit of the meritorious, but for the benefit of mankind. Those who are smart, wise, moral, hard working and have a good attitude, will make it under any … Continue reading →

The Villainy Of Regulation

Posted on May 3, 2023 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, regulations only apply to the poor and politically disfavored. The rich and politically favored, on the other hand, find regulations to be no burden. In fact, regulations pave the way for their projects. How … Continue reading →

The Problem Of The Strong Oppressing The Weak

Posted on April 2, 2023 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me, that so many people believe, with all their souls, the solution to the problem of the strong oppressing the weak… is to give the strong more power to oppress the weak. That is … Continue reading →

Momentous Changes Are Underway

Posted on March 22, 2023 by john
