The global finance system can be regulated to prevent massive credit fraud, tame capitalism, confront the sovereign debt crisis, and move towards investing in the real economy and full employment. "Obamanomics" and American reinvention can lead to a sustained economic recovery but only together with major domestic, European, and global monetary reforms in cooperation with emerging nations.

Inflation, Energienot, globale Konkurrenz, Personalmangel: Wenn Deutschland nicht entschieden gegensteuert, steigt es wirtschaftlich ab. Was können wir tun?

Property carries a great promise: that it will make you rich and set you free. But it is also a weapon, an agent of displacement and exploitation, the currency of kleptocrats and oligarchs. Property is a vivid, far-reaching analysis of our concept of property ownership, from 16th-century feudalism to the present day. Above all, Property asks how we have come to view our homes not as a natural human right, but as investments—and it offers hope for how things could be better, with reform that might enable the social wealth of property to be returned to society.

From investors and monetary authorities to governments and policy makers, almost everyone had assumed inflation was dead and buried. But now people the world over are confronting a poisonous new economic reality and, with it, the prospect of vast and increasing wealth inequality. How have we arrived in this situation? And what, if anything, can we do about it? Celebrated economist Stephen D. King—one of the few to warn ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheaval—identifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed.

For et par hundrede år siden sker der noget afgørende i menneskets historie. Lige pludselig bliver vores levealder fordoblet og velstanden stiger eksplosivt. Op til da levede de fleste mennesker gennem tusindvis af år et liv, der kunne sammenlignes med deres forfædre. En landmand i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede havde stort set samme levevilkår som en egyptisk landmand for 5.000 år siden eller en hyrde i Jeriko for 11.000 siden.

Wir erleben eine doppelte Zeitenwende. Erstens eine reale Wende. Infolge der geostrategischen Verwerfungen driftet der Boden weg, auf dem wir jahrzehntelang Karrieren gebaut haben. Vorbei ist die gefühlte Normalität unseres Wohlstands, der bei vielen jedes Jahr noch größer wurde – und dieses Vorbei ist der zweite Aspekt der Zeitenwende: Es ist eine mentale Wende. Es ist wie ein brutales Aufwachen und jähes Erkennen, dass unser Leben und unsere Karrieren seit den Nachkriegswirtschaftswunderjahren bis heute eben nicht mehr die Regel sind.

From the close of trading on Tuesday, October 13, 1987, to the close of trading on October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") fell 769 points or 31 percent. On October 19, 1987, alone, the Dow fell by 508 points or 22.6 percent. Since the early 1920's, only the drop of 12.8 percent in the Dow on October 28, 1929 and the fall of 11.7 percent the following day, which together constituted the Crash of 1929, approached the October 19 decline in magnitude. The events of October demonstrated an unusual frailty in the markets.

The long war has brought hunger to Europe; some of her peoples stand constantly face to face with starvation. To meet all this great food need in Europe—and meeting it is an imperative military necessity—we must be very careful and economical in our food use here at home. We must eat less; we must waste nothing; we must equalize the distribution of what food we may retain for ourselves; we must prevent extortion and profiteering which make prices so high that the poor cannot buy the food they actually need; and we must try to produce more food.

"Eryxias" is a Socratic dialogue attributed to Plato, but which is considered spurious. It is set in the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios, and features Socrates in conversation with Critias, Eryxias, and Erasistratus. "Eryxias" may not have been written by Plato. The dialogue discusses whether wealth has value and what the aim of philosophy should be.

Frédéric Bastiat was an early 19th century French economist/statesman whose common sense essays tried to battle the rise of socialist ideology after the French revolution, where provisional governments were rivaling each other for power. Of central concern was who should control the money. How is wealth created? How should it be divided amongst the people? What services should government provide? Same questions we are asking now.
