2024-08-03

Why is the price of gold rising if the global economy is not in recession and inflation is allegedly under control? This is a question often heard in investment circles, and I will try to answer it.We must begin by clarifying the question. It is true that inflation is slowly decreasing, but we cannot say that it is under control. Let us remember that the latest CPI data in the United States was 3% annualized and that in the eurozone it is 2.6%,...

While the attention of the world public is focused on the wars in Ukraine and Palestine, another region of the world is showing signs of instability. It is the Balkan region. Specifically, two strategic areas of the Balkans, which have not been permanently stabilized even after the wars of the nineties. These are Bosnia and Kosovo. However, while in Kosovo tensions are constant and limited without the possibility of a major conflict, in Bosnia and...

by

2024-08-03

In the “Constitution of Liberty” Friedrich Hayek highlights the malleability of the word “liberty,” explaining that “in totalitarian states liberty has been suppressed in the name of liberty.” Deployed in that way, the concept of liberty could mean anything, including its very opposite: coercion. Hayek writes:“There is no limit to the sophisms by which the attractions of the word ‘liberty’ can be used to support measures which destroy individual...

Protecting infant industries doesn’t help the economy

2024-08-03

In many developing countries, protectionism is on the rise. It promises hope that a country can build their economy from the ground up and grow into a developed economy. A common obstacle to that goal is a poor understanding of economics which often hinders the country as politicians create roadblocks on the path toward prosperity. Protectionists in developing countries often argue that their economies are not resilient enough to compete in global...

Kamala Harris, DEI Hire

2024-08-02

by

2024-08-02

DEI stands for “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.” This is the view that members of certain “oppressed” groups, like racial minorities and women, should get preferential treatment. In blunt language, we should give jobs to incompetent people. Kamala Harris is a perfect example of a DEI hire. She is an incompetent black woman. Mark Thiessen does a good job of explaining why she is incompetent; “Harris is undeniably vulnerable. She ran a catastrophic...

Why Interest Rates and Inflation Are Here to Stay | William White

2024-08-02

by

As the US and its Western allies realign supply chains to strengthen economic resiliency, the cost of certain goods and commodities will go up. I call this “resiliency-driven inflation.” I received a note from renowned economist Bill White about this, which prompted our interview. Bill is a former chairman of the Economic and Development Review Committee at the OECD. He has served at the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, and he is a long-time...
