Financial institutions continue to ignore any reasonable risk-management practices. Which means the banks will crash again. The 2008 bailouts have only made them feel invincible. They know Congress will bail them out no matter what they do. They’ve learned nothing. With their recent actions, they are dragging us toward another 2008.
Economy: Life, Liberty, and Money
Everything about the Economy
Our economy articles have two major themes: major economic updates and research analysis.
One of the main things we want to accomplish with this section is to expand the general interest in economics. The economy is such a central part of everyone’s everyday life, but many ignore it. We believe this is a pinnacle reason politics and culture have degraded. If a person does not understand finances, they cannot understand politics. The economy is the single most important figure in every government. Without a good working knowledge of how it works, we can make no progress in political discourse.
Economic updates include occasional update articles on the state of the economy in the US. Normally we’ll toss in some things happening around the world as their own separate articles if there is enough interest.
Research analysis articles incorporate the latest research and my personal philosophy to find interesting insights into society and human behavior. With the addition of some game theory elements, we can find some interesting outcomes and uncover why so much “science” in the research community is garbage.
If you’re just starting out, take a quick look at my 46 Stupid Ways The Government Spends Your Tax Money article. It will help give you an idea of where our economy articles stem from. If you’re ready to dive straight into research, a popular starting article is my answer to the question: Is Uncle Sam Earning Interest on Study Loans? and Free Trade: Why It Is Bad for All of Us
