What's behind the currency war?

2011-02-27T20:14:00.000-03:00

Antony P. Mueller writes:
"... In a wider historical perspective, the current currency war is the latest conflict in a series of acute crises of the modern international monetary system. In a world of national monetary regimes based on fiat money without physical anchors, domestic monetary instability automatically transforms into exchange-rate instability. As before, the current crisis of the international economic order is mainly the result of monetary fragilities coming from the unsound national monetary systems and reckless domestic monetary and fiscal policies..."

American Constitution

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

John Adams

Praxeologia versus positivismo

2011-02-18T09:13:00.001-03:00

"Parece que o paradigma predominante da metodologia científica nas ciências sociais tem pouco a ver com a realidade da nossa vida social, a prática política e a administração pública. Parece que os próprios universitários, políticos e administradores não se dão conta dessa conexão. Mas na verdade o uso do certo modelo epistemológico mostra-se crucial para os resultados gerados por uma pesquisa, bem como para a maneira como se pratica política e para a forma da administração pública. Ainda mais: uma sociedade livre não pode emergir quando domina uma epistemologia que elimina a ação humana...."

The Lord(s) of Money

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws”.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild

The best and the worst of times

2011-02-03T22:25:00.002-03:00

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

Charles Dickens, English novelist (1812 - 1870)

Known and Unknown

2011-01-24T16:33:00.000-03:00

In his own words:
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because, as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know."
Donald Rumsfeld

Back on the Road to Serfdom

2011-01-19T23:15:00.000-03:00

"... Antony Mueller looks at the more immediate causes of the recent financial crisis. His essay is a valuable corrective to the standard account of the economic downturn that has fueled so much of the recent resurgence of statism. Professor Mueller’s interpretation of the crisis, which is informed by the Austrian School of economics, also accounts for why the proposed remedies are likely to prolong the economic malaise in those countries adopting them..."

Democracy

2011-01-15T08:01:00.000-03:00

"Democratic politics relies on deception. Without deception of the voters on a comprehensive scale, there could be no politics above the local level, where people know the deceivers personally and are therefore less easy to fool. Basic to deception are symbols. Symbols serve politicians in much the same way as a red cape serves a matador."
Gary North

“If”
By: Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

But make allowance for their doubting too,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,

If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much,

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.”
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)

Democracy

2010-11-13T08:46:00.000-03:00

The political process…a mere battle of rival rogues. But the mob remains quite free to decide between them.

~ H.L. Mencken Notes On Democracy (1926)

2010-10-27T00:15:00.001-03:00

Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.

Ludwig van Beethoven

2010-10-26T23:36:00.002-03:00

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

- Lucius Annaeus Seneca

2010-10-26T17:58:00.001-03:00

No human investigation can be called real science if it cannot be demonstrated mathematically.

Leonardo da Vinci

2010-10-26T15:05:00.001-03:00

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Get off our backs

2010-10-09T20:28:00.000-03:00

We have a choice to make once and for all: between the empire and the spiritual and physical salvation of our people. No road for the people will ever be open unless the government completely gives up control over us or any aspect of our lives. It has led the country into an abyss and it does not know the way out.
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, as quoted by Pravda (1986)

Let's do so again

2010-10-05T18:25:00.000-03:00

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

Henry Ford

A thing without a limit

2010-09-29T16:04:00.002-03:00

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.

- Konrad Adenauer

Say it loud

2010-09-29T14:12:00.000-03:00

What you keep to yourself you lose, what you give away, you keep forever.
- Munthe

Money and happiness

2010-09-22T21:42:00.002-03:00

A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

Jane Austen

The joys and frustrations of math

2010-09-22T08:30:00.000-03:00

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.

Albert Einstein
