The low density of insights was intentional because when you are trying to explain the most complex aspect of the economy (one that most Phd economists don't understand) --> the business cycle, you go slow and sure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224512270571067440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-65093181176658187162019-03-05T11:54:06.796-05:002019-03-05T11:54:06.796-05:00re: The Skyscraper Curse & Dark Web
The Dark ...re: The Skyscraper Curse & Dark Web<br /><br />The Dark Web has an existence that I can not quantify but I know it is vast and contains information vitally needed by those of us who carry the economy on our backs: the middle classes. Glimpse of the Dark Web are occasionally seen such as a lecture by Peter Zeihan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMCUC7G4rmE. One has to pay to get his information in a timely manner.<br /><br />Robert Prechter is another aspect mainly hidden from view unless one has more than $1,000.00 a year to spend for subscriptions to his newsletters one of which is called The Socionomist. Socionomomics has analyzed factors such as Skyscrapers and boom and bust cycles.

All we need is for politicians to be mature leaders. They just need to treat it seriously and not just make up money to buy votes or line their pockets. <br /><br />Right. Never gonna happen.<br /><br />Like you say, just Enjoy the Decline (Captain Capitalism's book title). <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-49271129603761084572019-03-05T05:34:03.186-05:002019-03-05T05:34:03.186-05:00Indeed.

Having read and subscribed to numerous perveyors of financial reckonining it is my current belief that overpopulation, resource collapse, government fubar, health care, financial systems, etc.. will never ever be fixed. We will lurch along until a real catastrophe occurs and claw our way along again. Sometimes I think humanity is like an ant colony well except internet the ants don't have the web... So in the meantime enjoy the finer things in life and then get back onto the golden treadmill to pay for it all.Does it matterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528305595460879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-52024877343455344782019-03-05T02:16:25.364-05:002019-03-05T02:16:25.364-05:00The Fed, and fractional reserve banking is likely ...The Fed, and fractional reserve banking is likely to outlive me. Raging against 'the man' may be cathartic, but changing the US banking system, monetary system, etc. would be tantamount to lighting off a volcano on Wall St. While that would be gratifying in the longer term, the political fallout would be really significant.
