The Great Recession? Crisis? How About Relearning?
|
Despite a high level of drama in nearly every corner of the economic globe, we have yet to settle on a catchy description for this particular period in history. We have had the Great Financial Crisis, or the Great Recession, following closely behind, and directly related to, the Great Moderation (itself only a slight change from the Great Inflation).

The typical Londoner during the first era of globalization

Would the real Peter and Paul please stand up?
|
"It is no secret that our quest is to find scarcity. But the scarce substance we prize above all else is trustworthiness.

US Birth Rate Hits New Low – A Nation of Singles
|
"The US birth rate fell to a record low in 2011. The marriage rate is tumbling as well. And the number of single Americans is now at a record high.

Merry Capitalism!
|
Henry Ford once famously quipped if he’d asked his customers what they wanted, they’d have said, “A faster horse.” It’s the holiday season once again, and while I troll stores and the Internet for gifts, I’m reminded of the wisdom in those few words.
