We must be careful with how we value life
Today is my eldest brother’s birthday. He died a few years ago, after a long illness, having told the hospital staff not to revive him when his heart, inevitably, gave out again.I was devastated to know we would soon lose him. Though I also knew that he had made the right decision.They say you can’t put a value on human life. But long life is not all we value. When I see virus sufferers taken off to die in hospital isolation without their...

Necessity is the Mother of Invention – Retirees Desperate Reach for Yield
Ben Bernanke’s creativity inspired a generation of economists and central bankers. QE, ZIRP and NIRP established a new class of economics that is mathematically sound but practically disastrous. Billions of dollars were transferred from savers to investors to boost the economy, but the wizards of quant forgot that something has to give. In this case, it was the formation of a pension crisis that threatens the golden years of millions of...

My intrepid Mercatus Center colleague Veronique de Rugy joins me in being dismayed by Henry Olsen’s call for Trump to artificially diminish the abundance of petroleum to which Americans now have access. Joakim Book – like Veronique but unlike those, such as Henry Olsen, whose thinking about economics is shallow and uninformed – understands the benefits of globalization in times of crisis. A slice: Paradoxically, self-sufficiency – the kind of...

Milloy published a post on the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) blog titled “Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions:” Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since...

Agriculture Purchase Commitments Under the U.S.-China Trade Deal: The Case of Beef
Yesterday, President Trump and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He signed a "phase one" U.S.-China trade deal. A "phase two" deal may be coming, although the timing is unclear, and many people (including us) are skeptical that it will happen any time soon. There are some technical and complicated parts of the phase one deal, and it will take some time to digest it all and come up with an overall evaluation. But it's worth exploring...

Coordination Problems in a Post Pandemic World
A mantra we have used on this site since changing our name a decade ago is that we study economics as a coordination problem, and we see entrepreneurship as the solution to that problem. In various works the different authors on this blog have pursued and reported on here, they have studied entrepreneurship in the public, private and independent sector to see how a variety of coordination problems are in fact solved or at least ameliorated....

The Two Easiest Dots Anyone Will Ever Have To Connect
Toward the end of March 2012, then-Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was busy with so many things. It wasn’t supposed to have been that way, not after two “massive” QE’s launched in the wake of the Great “Recession.” After all, V-shaped recoveries provide their own momentum upon which central bankers might piggy-back. https://www.davidstockmanscontracorner.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=394291&action=edit

QEII’s Speech
We will meet again. This past Sunday, Queen Elizabeth II made a 4-minute speech to the nation and to the British Commonwealth. It’s only 4 minutes but it was very moving. There’s so much I liked about it. One economist friend pointed out that her term “fellow feeling” is from Adam Smith. I’ve watched it three times and I can’t get through it without crying. Here it is.

Did Bill Gates Just Reveal the Reason Behind the Lock-Downs?
In a recent candid interview, Bill Gates outlined that, despite the comparatively small threat of Coronavirus, he and his colleagues “don’t want a lot of recovered people” who have acquired natural immunity. They instead are hoping we become reliant on vaccines and anti-viral medication. Shockingly, Gates also suggests people be made to have a digital ID showing their vaccination status, and that people without this “digital immunity proof”...

The Covid-19 Dominoes Fall: The World Is Insolvent
To understand why the financial dominoes toppled by the Covid-19 pandemic lead to global insolvency, let’s start with a household example. The point of this exercise is to distinguish between the market value of assets and net worth, which is what’s left after debts are subtracted from the market value of assets. Let’s say the household has done very well for itself and owns assets worth $1 million: a home, a family business, 401K retirement...

The Cost of COVID-19: A Rough Estimate of the 2020 US GDP Impact
It will be a while before traditional macroeconomic indicators provide meaningful information about the magnitude of the economic slowdown owing to the novel coronavirus. The mitigation measures adopted—a partial economic shutdown and social distancing—will exact a heavy cost on society that is not yet known. In order to fill this information gap, we provide here a back-of-the-envelope estimate of the impact of current mitigation measures on...
