‘Meltdown’ presents a serious analysis of the boom-and-bust economic cycle and ties it with the actions of government and in particular the Federal Reserve. It is a great introductory to a different view than the mainstream thinking. It poses serious questions which I only hear from a few colleagues but not the mainstream media. It presents a framework for the ultimate cleaning up of the drowning economic mess.

Thanks for sharing my article. Not too sure anymore what “anti-oil” means – is it bad to try to cut back on our energy consumption? Or is it anti-oil if we’re running out of the cheap, easy stuff? And certainly, during recessions demand drops, so production follows suit and prices follow suit. Once the economy is back up, demand will be up and prices will jump because of the supply glut.

The greased watermelon in the pool game is not as widely known and enjoyed as it should be! It is really fun (as I recall). I had contemplated an SS-ID related post. I detest the media's personal data hysteria. A component of the best defense is to have easy ways to correct ID theft. Unfortunately it is a big headache to purge errors and ID theft junk from one's financial record. That's an outrage and should be reformed. Then the media should just calm down a bit. And yes, we should have more secure IDs. But there will always be data loss and ID theft. So we need easy ways to clean up the mess no matter what the system. .-= The Incidental Economist´s last blog ..Let’s Talk Price =-.
