Video: The Inherent Design Flaws In The “Resource Based Economy” Model
This video is Peter Joseph’s reply to Zeitgeist’s support for a resource based economy. In this video Jospeh reviews the numerous, very real, and legitimate problems. Those problems are not minor details that can be glossed over or fixed at a later date, they are in fact inherent design flaws which render it unworkable.

Greek Chorus
I’ve thought about calling this article ‘thinking the unthinkable’ but I decided to use such a cliched strapline was probably itself unthinkable. Perhaps ‘explaining the inexplicable’ would be more appropriate.

Rescuing Obama from the Slippery Slope
One year ago this week I wrote that Barack Obama had finally done it. He had taken the tantalizing trail to a notoriously slippery slope. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, he promised, “federal agencies (will) ensure that regulations protect our safety, health and environment while promoting economic growth.”

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
You may have noticed a similarity between my last few articles, which are focusing on the failure of aggregate demand in our economy, and strategies for addressing this.

In a famous passage in the General Theory Keynes describes how different cultures have dealt with the problem of insufficient demand.
