RE BROOKS ISAIAH BERLIN DEFINITION

What utter nonsense.

RE BROOKS RE CEOS AS POLITICIANS AS PRESIDENTS

  'Aristocracy' is inconsistent with having 'voracious social contacts'.




Our concept is closer to The Maverick Executive.

RE BROOKS RE SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENCIES

I don't know of any.


The concept, the Presidency, was flawed ab initio, unfortunately, but some of us cling to the chimera.


Comparing business men to the Presidency is like comparing an orchard to a discipline.

A PROPOS CEOS AS POLITICIANS WHY NOT THE LIKES OF CAPTAIN KIDD

Someone likes this older post, why shouldn't you too?

LETS START WITH KRUGMAN

He seems to make a good point against America as a Corporation. Well and good.


However, he says that almost all Americans, that is, those no longer in manufacturing, are insulated from international competition as service workers. 


This is false in several important ways, as Americans have seen for decades now, and as recounted on this blog ad nauseam.

SOMEONE LIKES THIS OLD CARTOON CONCEPT WHY SHOULDNT YOU TOO

RE PRIVATE SECTOR GETS JOBS PUBLIC GETS BILL CATERPILLAR

This is an old old story, seldom referred to by free private enterprise pundits, 


but the history of innovation in technology, especially computers and the internet, to name only the most visible, 


is strewn with money for defense and security ending up aiding the biggest private companies develop new industries and products for private sector profits, largely at the expense, in terms of R & D and in other ways, notably risk shifting, of the taxpayer.


Now, a lot of that know how, also called intellectual property, has been foolishly off shored, by hook or crook, through theft, license, or cutting deals for access to cheap production facilities.

DE BAILLEUL QUOTING CELENTE TODAY

This seems reasonable vision, looking ahead.

AN EMBARGO IN PRINCIPLE

Is not one.


Calling on an embargo, ostensibly on behalf of Israel, 


a bad idea.


Circling Western wagons merely over Iran, 
while bigger trade-induced, hostile, economic engines are bearing down, 


also near sighted.
