Keynesian thought is utopian
Credible economists like Hayek, even von Mises and Milton Friedman knew the limits of positivism in economic models. It isn’t that they eschewed them outright, they knew the margins of their discipline, spending their time more on exposition in defense … Continue reading

The Don gets his phone calls returned
The posture and rhetoric of the Don regarding the US trade deficit with China was more bark than bite. He knew as a negotiator that China’s ruling mafia wouldn’t return his calls without having experienced pain. It meant threatening, cajoling … Continue reading

The Mullah’s go mum
Watching President Trump manhandle the Iranian president on twitter was worth it. Having publicly declared that he should never again threaten the United States was tempered with a credible disinformation campaign aiming at threatening the regime. The Australians are reporting … Continue reading

Digital mediums & the wrought return of the nation state
Call it the Washington consensus. It was ushered in with the demise of Soviet Marxism. By 1995 the US turned inward creating NAFTA and other multinational trade relations upon the orthodox belief that international trade mattered. We forget the backdrop … Continue reading

How to read the Mexican election
The arrival of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador shouldn’t have surprised anyone familiar with the state of Mexico’s political economy. The return of PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) after having lost power in 2000 from a 71 year rule didn’t change much; … Continue reading
The African continent & the state of capitalism
Africa has been termed the dark continent, the term isn’t racial but refers to inhabitable characteristics that threaten economic and social development. Weak governance and weaker infrastructure have sealed the continent from development since the defeat of European imperialism. That … Continue reading
Trump & Iran: presage to permanent emnity
The mess team Trump inherited equals what was bequeathed to Obama economically. My guess is that team Trump has the fortitude to look at the world realistically and venture what’s possible. First step Iran. The May 21st approach laid out … Continue reading
The Moral, Strategic Bankruptcy of Arafat
Israel remains the only democracy in the middle east. Is is surrounded by militant, terror driven petro-monarchies devoted to keeping Israel in a permanent state of siege. The peace process is a nomenclature, born within unelected fiefdoms of bureaucracy throughout … Continue reading
