RE TALKING PIKETTY AND STEINGART VERY DIFFERENT MECHANICAL ECONOMIC OUTCOMES

 In fairness to Piketty, he does at many places point out that there is nothing natural or spontaneous about certain economic phenomena re how shocks have been handled, etc., and that politics and other social sciences play a greater role than encompassed by mere economics. I was glad to see that he advocates a return to political economy.

Reconstruction was as little a mechanical, very long term, economic malaise, as The Marshall Plan was a very quick mechanical economic miracle.

The Morgenthau Plan for the South, the Marshall Plan for the Axis. All very mechanical.

Put differently, the North did to the South very much what the British did to India according to Steingart's lurid account. The big difference is that the South was part of the country whereas India was a colony.

Only a Western civ fool would do to its own South what Steingart claims the British did to India.

It's a Western Civ theme.  Similarly for the Morgenthau Plan. 

The West's plan should have included breaking up the Soviet Union in 1918.....and not thereafter boom anyone, anywhere else, you didn't have to boom, and were not prepared, later, if boomed,  to confront militarily. 

What Steingart says the British did to India should have been the standard going forward.

One needs to contrast Steingart's India passage with that of someone like Quigley, re Gandhi.

CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS LIBERAL PUNDITS

Say you are Zionist, or liberal Jewish, China, or Saudi Arabia, etc., Japan, Hindi.

 

You want to influence America even further in its liberal ways, push it to the extremes.

 

What do you do?

 

You don't have to do anything!

 

America already has ample liberal ethnic Jewish Muslim Hindi and Asian pundits, Fukuyama, Zakariah, etc., in some cases American citizens, born this way, who can continue to carry out the cause of globalist liberalism which these hostile regimes adore and want to promote here, not there.

THE CONTAGION OF LIBERTY GONORRHEA

Gonorrhea is spreading rapidly globally, and is becoming untreatable, especially now, oddly enough, in the throat, the organ or situs of the freedom of speech, funnily enough!

Luckily, you can still tweet with your thumbs or index fingers!

What if it spreads to them?

The nose!

 

THE JULY MONARCHY

"Metternich, Nicholas, and others considered a mongrel regime like this in some ways worse and more dangerous than red revolution."

 

It was this mongrel liberal bourgeois dog, and others like it,  that, somewhat later, Marx found so easy to attack, but so hard to kill.

INTERVENTIONS IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS HOBBES' STATE OF NATURE

The very notion of foreign affairs seems up for grabs and quite passe.

 

As Kindleberger pointed out, the nation state is on its last legs, including ours.

 

What follows is merely some vague congeries of global affairs.

 

Why shouldn't anyone, not just state actors, who wants to pile onto either side of our presidential elections, or onto one side or the other, or some other third or fourth side, on any side, in, say, the "...Thirty Years War between Shi'ite and Sunni...(DK)", or into any controversy or matter whatever, anywhere, anytime, on the globe?

 

Why not?

THE WHIG INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY

What I saw I was.

What I was I saw.

THEY WANT LESS GOVERNMENT UNLESS IT'S THEIRS BORN THIS WAY

https://www.facebook.com/rfertel/posts/10155435474244402

Lincoln had been very much that way, too...

He was even a firm proponent of chicken shit states' rights (i.e. not strong states' rights), at least until he got elected. That really helped, getting elected.

Of course he had to do something about the so called house divided.

He saw no inconsistency there.

He did it his way. 

He was 'born this way'!

THE MENU KITCHEN DESIGN

Windows. Get some if you can.

 

Professional kitchens often don't have them. That is different.

 

I take from professional kitchens what I have seen I can use.

 

Like stainless countertops and large deep single tub steel sinks, high gooseneck steel faucets......hanging steel adjustable pot pan and utensil bars or rings...cast iron gas stoves and grills, electric and convection ovens.

I avoid microwave ovens. They use a lot of aluminum and nonstick cookware and utensils (they are not, after all, cooking for themselves...), microwaves. I don't.

SEE DK'S CURRENT POST

'....The Constitution is not primarily at fault.'

He does, however, cite certain weaknesses, which Toobin also notes.

There are plenty of others, I call them structural problems, but they also flow from suspicion of the ancient regime itself, and from the colonial geopolitical status quo ante, that neither of them apparently feel a need to go back into or address.

Bailyn's works best show how the stage was set, so to speak, for these weaknesses to emerge in the constitution, as well as in American society and culture generally.

It would never have occurred to someone like Frederick to wonder whether his responsibilities were a cheap trick to justify his rights.

 

THE MENU KITCHEN DESIGN WINDOWS DAILY USE PATTERNS SIZE

If the room has the opportunity for windows, or for more windows, this is one starting point for an optimal design.

 

If it is large enough for a central island, then different work areas can be more easily designed to function in different areas. 

 

Requirements of dish shelving, sink washing/ rinsing, and dish washing, in close proximity, on the one hand, and food prep and cooking on the other, imply designing these two main areas in different, nonconflicting, but readily accessible areas of the kitchen floor plan.

 

If windows can be had only on one wall, then the logical place for storing daily dishes is on another wall, presumably of four walls.

 

If these 2 walls are the long walls of the room, and you can afford all windows on that wall, then the windows and the daily storage shelving need to be on opposite sides of the room, since multiple windows will not permit daily storage upper shelving along that wall.

 

In this configuration, these two areas would be sited along opposite sides of a probably rectangular island.

RANDALL COLLINS' NEW POST ON HIS CREATIVITY BLOG

HOW SHAKESPEARE CREATED SHAKESPEARE

Excerpt, relating Shakespeare's method and milieux to Collins' work re the sociology of philosophy:

"In The Sociology of Philosophies, I used the micro-sociological method to analyze philosophers and mathematicians: both where creativity happens, and the kinds of things that get created. Two key ingredients are networks and internalized techniques."

"Being creative is having the techniques to make something that becomes famous. Where do the techniques come from? In part, they come from the network-- one’s immediate predecessors, collaborators and rivals. In part-- because to become creative on your own is to make new techniques. This is done by combining techniques from the past, or reversing some into their opposite, thus creating new effects. Close acquaintance with the network of previous creators is important because you need to internalize their techniques, until you can roll with them, generating a flow of emotional energy. This internal process is what outsiders can’t see and what impresses them as overpowering genius. And it is why the most creative persons come out of a network of other creative persons..."

 

"...Creativity by reversal and recombination is a main process of innovation in the history of philosophy and mathematics.  Invention by negating one element and recombining the rest is a technique for discovery. That means that discovery and creativity is not mysterious. Once you see how to do it, you can keep on doing it by applying it to further materials...." RC 

Can one not characterize what is commonly understood as creativity, genius, if you will, as containing a goodly portion of what I would call sustained, or even, in an important sense, systematic, improvisation?

Re either Germany, Russia, the United States, or several others in Asia and the Middle East: an ambitious state, whatever its ideology, is now a revolutionary state.

Prior to that time, an ambitious state in the Old European Order might well be conservative, and confront only conservative adversaries.

THE MENU NO CANNIBALISM JOKES TODAY KITCHEN ARCHITECTURE

I consider some good old kitchenware itself decorative, and a cultural heritage, if you will; and some of the older stuff usually has not been, and perhaps cannot be, improved upon...at least not at this time.

 

So, coincidentally, I am lately designing, from scratch, as southern cooks like to say, a working cook's kitchen, to make use of this kitchenware, and the kitchen space and appliances, from a practical standpoint, and not as collectibles in an outdated antique room. The redesigned kitchen can keep many of its best and oldest features, and also serve its recent denizens well.

Look at some of the great classic kitchens, either of the nobility or of the best commercial establishments, or high bourgeois homes, of the past, and certain common features emerge.

 

I will post regarding this theme at intervals.

 

You seldom see anything really good written about this, except perhaps by commercial high end kitchen designers...

 

The residential kitchen designers usually, at best, either reaffirm, or repudiate, or most often completely ignore, the triangle, and little else, except styles fittings and finishes, etc.....

This post is dedicated to Robin Ellis, whose writings have given me much pleasure.

THE REPUBLICANS LINCOLN TRUMP AND THE SLAVES

The Republicans now want neither to employ, nor to pay for the maintenance unemployed, of the negroes whom their Political forefathers so blithely had freed.

 

The Democrats pay only lip service to their continued maintenance, and are also addicted to foreign cheap labor which has long rendered black people generally socially and economically either marginal or obsolete here.

 

Under those conditions, with no real political or police power protection, street level black people have chronically been easy pickings for corrupt politically powerful Northern white mob drug dealers, since before WWII.

Mario Puzo actually candy coats it, frankly. Don Corleone doesn't like drugs... Please...You like, never even see a black person in the Godfather.

WHAT IS INFINITY? TRUMP AND PHILOSOPHY

https://www.facebook.com/rfertel/posts/10155418181139402

If you say, the universe is expanding, that's not it.

 

How could you conceive of infinite space and matter, anyway?

 

How?

 

Yet, that seems to be the case, apparent infinity, for now.

 

If you say, the universe has limits, what are the limits of what lies outside it?

 

And what, then, are the limits of what lies outside that?

 

And so on...

It leads on, after a while, to consideration of what is called nothingness. If the universe is not limitless, then there may be a concept of nothingness which applies at its periphery.

What then, after all, is nothingness, and then the idea of the problem of infinity rears its ugly head again, and one wonders then whether nothingness, beyond somethingness, is infinite, and what infinite means in the context of infinite nothingness beyond being?

for the moment.

Call it Bobbitt's Market State.

I'm in a Market State of Mind....

IF THE NATION STATE IS PASSE AS KINDLEBERGER OPINED

Then why not let all people of all nations interfere in all of each others' political processes all the time?

 

Who cares about Russian interference in American elections.

 

We welcome and actively promote globalist participation!

 

Samantha Power recommended grass roots interference in other nations' internal affairs as a matter of American national security. See DK posts, and my comments there and here.

 

Ben & Jerry, liberals hating what they now see all around them, fruits of their own liberalism, are now quoting Lincoln:
'It was Abraham Lincoln who said, "Public opinion is everything. Without it nothing can succeed. With it nothing can fail."' Smart guy...

Why not, then, smart guys, appeal to the global public, the really really big one, the progressive one, the one they have always dreamed about?

That's the big big one, the new new one, the market market one. None bigger.

Go for it!

Amen!

MOVIE OF THE DAY THE CARPETBAGGERS

THEY NEED TO SELF DETERMINE BUT THEY NEED TO GLOBALIZE

They've come a long way,

 

but they've got a long way to go!

GIVE THEM ALL A RIGHT TO VOTE BY SUDDEN DIRECT DEMOCRACY

Once you started expanding the franchise, you were already starting down a slippery slope.

 

The move by the Radical Republicans, giving slaves not only their freedom but the right to vote,  game changer for globalization trends already churning since the 18th Century.

 

Why not allow serfs, coolies, anyone, everyone everywhere, the right to vote anywhere?

 

Liberals believe national borders are unnatural and dangerous.

 

Why not let anyone vote instantly anywhere in any election whatsoever?

 

Shouldn't their opinion be heard?

 

Shouldn't their vote be counted.

 

Global warming, a great issue to rally global direct democracy around. If they burn too much coal in China, or burn too much oil in the US, or spend too much money in Europe, we should be able to vote them out of office from here.

 

Great idea.

Expanding the Republican franchise. The Radical Republicans did a great job of it, in 1867, why not expand a great concept?

Let the whole world get behind one view or another, one party or another, here?

We have made certain university programs available, for free, golbally now, why not make global voting free too?  Great liberal idea. We have tried to globalize human rights, whatever that means, a work in progress, progress, a key term here.....

Unknown's comment

Great stuff:

"Neither the ACA or the recent House and Senate versions to replace it get to the crux of the issue of health care, which is the high cost of care for both the sick and the well. Those feeding at the health care trough are entrenched in Washington, keeping their advocates in office to promote their agendas and increase their profits at the expense of affordable health care for the many. There are solutions to reduce the cost of health care besides a single payer. All are politically infeasible. When current leaders state that their plans to reduce health care costs will save people money, they are not lying. Those ACA replacement plans will save money for the rich, and for the poor, who will have no health care costs because they will have no health care plan." Unknown

INFLATION AND DEFLATION BOTH ECONOMIST RED HERRINGS

I should point out,

that, when you are gradually, inch by monthly inch, slowly, annually, becoming a third world economy, trading down, down, to cheaper and cheaper produced goods, to the bottom;

reducing prices, down, down, to cheaper and cheaper priced goods,

to the bottom, you tend,

almost by inertia,

to steer a path, because you have to,

between little blips of inflation, or deflation,

sort of looking for a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, perpetual 'soft landing',
at the 'greatest good for the greatest numbers' airfield (let's not call it an airport).

That is what the US 'economy' if one can speak about such a thing, has been doing.

That is why we haven't had much 'overt' inflation, because we have been buying, and producing offshore more cheaply, goods made offshore.

That also is why we haven't had deflation, because their offshore costs were less, for a little while, and printing fiat money to buy them, so long as the money is accepted, wards off symptoms of deflation.

Keeping prices, and wages, gradually 'trickling down' (a different idiom: UNPROSPERITY TRICKLING DOWN) more or less together,

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

Krugman has put his finger on it, domestic jobs, that is the 'sticky wicket' in the whole sordid process, inasmuch as more and more work, of whatever kind, goes offshore, there remain fewer jobs, of any kind, to fund purchase of those cheaper offshore goods.

The other aspect of the situation, re currencies, aside from inflation/deflation, is that these producing countries have begun to realize that US currency is really backed by nothing anymore, no productivity, no specie, nothing.

One takes it, as a medium of exchange, largely hoping to prop up temporarily (self interest) the stultifera navis, and/or to get something of real value from third parties (the old eurodollar situation now globalized).

The Bretton Woods system, flawed from the outset, gold standard even abandoned by US in '71-72(?), a prescription for market sloth, and manipulations of all kinds.
It is not that complicated, really.

DECLINE OF THE WEST WENT ALMOST UNNOTICED THEN AND NOW

Even Schroeder, a shrewd analyst, remarks that the revolutions of the Spanish colonies, and their independence, the 1820s, in the New World, a crucial milestone in the decline of the West, happened almost as an aside for the European powers, who were much more worried at the time by the so called Eastern Question...

 

They didn't really even see 1830 coming, it seems...

FOIBLES OF THE CIVIL WAR

"Only the continued occupation of the South by federal troops, even after states were re-admitted to the Union, gave the (NEWLY FREED) black citizenry and white Republicans (of which there were some!) any chance of exercising their franchise and securing their lives and property..."

 

"When the southern states, supported by President Johnson, refused to ratify the amendment, the Republican Congressional majority--which grew even larger in the 1866 elections--passed its own Reconstruction plan, putting the South under military rule and insisting that the southern states enfranchise Negroes in new Constitutions before they could send representatives to Congress again. Negro suffrage, sadly, was a measure well in advance of even northern opinion, and the radicals realized by 1867 that it had to be put into the Constitution in order to impose it upon the South. This the 15th Amendment did..."

 

"...Negro suffrage, sadly, was a measure well in advance of even northern opinion..."

 

DK

 

My capitals. My underlining.

"Negro suffrage, well in advance of even northern opinion."

What do you think that implies for the whole Union Civil War project, how it squared with Lincoln's position and Johnson's, how it squared with Lincoln's campaign promises, how it squared with constitutional issues....These are some of the reasons why even liberals like Bobbitt called the Union, even before Radical Republican Reconstruction, the first nation state of terror. See also Mark Moyar.

DK POST EXCERPT ON CONSENSUS RADICAL REPUBLICAN RECONSTRUCTION THE ONLY REAL ONE

"It has now become clear to me that the United States has enjoyed only two eras of genuine political consensus in its history: from 1800 to 1824 (although in some respects that consensus persisted into the 1830s), and from about 1941 until about 1968 (although in some respects that consensus lasted at least until the 1980s.)" DK 

 

We never had a day of political consensus here.
Think Cosby's alternate juror:
"We had trouble deciding where to go to lunch!" 

 

It was not part of how we were set up... The times when you think there was political consensus, there was not...

I tell a lie, there was one longish period.....

 

The only real sustained period of political consensus here was during the unconstitutional terrorist period of the Radical Republican Deconstruction era... the era of the Fifth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. Things like that. That has been the only real sustained 'consensus' in America, ever. Sorry.

 

One wonders why Professor Kaiser left this period out. The Republicans got everything they wanted. He talks at length about it in 2011, but somehow he doesn't see it as 'his' consensus. I call that political consensus, the only kind that then existed.
