THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS BBC NEWS

Buddhists versus Muslims. A perennial rivalry heating up.

They just need a little more freer trade,

and of course a little less government regulation of any kind,

to flourish together,

over there,

 in the subcontinent.

Re meritocracy.

term search

Many even now think this has been a meritocracy here. They need to think instead of blindly believing this nonsense.

term search: meritocracy

mercantilism

What ruralized, embattled fragmented areas will eventually resort to, again.

Largely because they did not resort to it ab initio laissez faire.

RE THOMAS L FRIEDMAN TODAY NYT

Great point,  Western hobbyism. The dispatch of a vassal.......

The solution for the modern state of Israel needs to be,
again, what it always was, in the biblical age,

re vassal ization by a Muslim state, at best.

BBC RE CRISIS OF GLOBAL TRADE INVESTMENT LIBERAL HOUSE OF CARDS

Christopher Hughes re China Japan:

"We are seeing the coincidence of two regimes in China and Japan which are facing crises of legitimacy and a temptation to turn to issues of nationalism to compensate."

I WOULD HAVE PUT IT RATHER DIFFERENTLY, BUT IT COMES TO THE SAME THING, in a way.

One could meaningfully say this re almost all liberal market globalized Western democracies too.

re austerity italian style Krugman nyt

He criticizes Italian austerity,

but as I have said so often, Keynesianism stimulation doesn't on the other hand work so well for the globalized gobblelized:

'Stimulus' gets sucked out of the 'erstwhile' domestic economy (no such thing, that much, anymore) like an egg

by developmental weasels, and MNCS, plying that trade.

re Japan China and us

Curious Americans might well wonder how it came about,
that we can confirm a military alliance with the former
against the latter, while at the same time having much of our debt held by, and much of our manufacturing done in, the latter? It is a long and sad story. See this blog for details.

George Kennan, Chalmers Johnson, Prestowitz, Van Wolferen, Thurow, Kindleberger, Friedman and LaBard, Gabor Steingart, Raymond Vernon; these are some authors to consult.

RE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

She, Pauline Maier,  fleshes out some of this history rather well. 
Few Americans care about the actual history.

RE NO BUY AND HOLD ANY LONGER

All 'investments' are now short term.

Gambling.

The underlying fact is all assets now really are short term. 

There are no long term assets anymore.
