Posted on October 24, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the killing and subsequent downfall of Libyan dictator, Moammar Kaddafi, will be a very bad thing for US foreign policy and World stability, in the long run. While nothing could be truer than … Continue reading →

The American Political Scene.

Posted on October 13, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, that the least best form of faux democracy, is a one party State. There can be overtly one party States, like China and there can be covertly one party States, like the United States. … Continue reading →

The Golden Rule and Social Justice

Posted on September 29, 2011 by john

Neo Nero

Posted on September 25, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the best analogy to Roman leaders, as related by Plutarch, to Barack Obama is Nero, so much so that we could call Barack Neo Nero. He composes a play while the World burns. … Continue reading →

Stop the Bailouts!

Posted on September 8, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that continuing to bail out Greece is the height of stupidity and can only result in a greater fall when the inevitable fall comes. Lets face it, the Greek model is unsustainable… put simply. … Continue reading →

Regulation and the Principle Agent Dilemma

Posted on August 25, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that Chief Executive Officers, COEs, of large corporations have many of the privileges as owners of large companies, but have none of the responsibilities. As we see empirically with teenagers, people who are given … Continue reading →

On Class Mobility

Posted on August 18, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the real measure of the justice in a society, both hypothetical and existing, is to measure the level of class mobility in that society. Other devices and accepted wisdom, used now, like the … Continue reading →

Our Economic Witch Doctors

Posted on August 11, 2011 by john
