Does anyone have a subscription to the wall street journal or know of a way to deal with its paywall? I'm curious about this article but not enough to get a subscription to a foreign (USA) newspaper. https://www.wsj.com/articles/putins-unlikely-ally-in-his-standoff-with-the-west-his-central-banker-1534773380?mod=hp_lead_pos5

this seems like a decent moment to buy some gold stocks to profit off of the gold hoarders (and kind of becoming one by copying their behaviour), am I wrong?

Can someone make the case, in laymans terms, why deficits don't matter. I agree with it, but last weekend found myself in a discussion where it came up and I discovered I could not articulate coherently why it's not a primary concern. (a link to a good article is also fine)

Jon Irenicus posted:looking for a recommendation from the thread - our department put together a book club for the honors students this year and im looking for more of an economic centered book for the history of america as defined by labor, wealth, capital, etc. to give you an example other books in that club I threw in are Overthrow, The True Flag, Stamped From The Beginning, and The Color of Law. any good recs i could read over the summer to toss in? I mean .... https://www.amazon.com/Austerity-History-Dangerous-Mark-Blyth/dp/0199389446 it doesn't confine itself to the usa (bits of japan, a lot about the eu/germany, etc) but there's a substantial amount that is directly applicable to the history of the usa

Can someone point me in the direction of a macro-economic explanation of how, in the 1960s families had one wage earner and were mostly fine (unless you were a single mom), but today two income families can't keep up? The answer's probably  but I'm interested in the mechanics of how that transition occurred and why, other than bernie sanders, no-one seems to be mentioning it or how to fix it.

there's something that's bothering me and I'd hope to find some insight from some of you. There are a number of people, most prominent (?) among them Kate Raworth, that basically state that in order to survive we need to ramp down our constant societies' desire/need for (economic) growth - reduce our resource extraction to what our habitat can tolerate. On the other hand, there are people within the modern monetary theory field that state that budget deficits don't matter because the return on investment - the economic benefit, economic growth - will ensure that those investments pay themselves back more than they cost. Those two points of view, taken on their own, seem logical and progressive, but they clash because one depends on growth while the other wants to do away with growth. I don't have an answer for this contradiction, partially i suspect because I don't have a full grasp of the MMT argument. Soooo could someone explain this to me or point me towards an explanation? double nine fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Apr 14, 2019 |

some sort of fish posted:it seems like youre missing the real point of the mmt argument, which has nothing to do with whether or not a deficit "pays" for itself via return on investment (although it can supplement the arguments). thank you. I'll continue reading up on it, but this makes more sense than my "model".

pdf x-change editor & foxit reader are both decent enough for generic pdf reading, and the occasional edit. Plus they have free versions of each.

Zudgemud posted:My decently large university is very actively moving away from Adobe products due to their lovely licensing. That's at least 6k employees worth of Adobe license money down the drain, and no new users being churned out by our various programs. Its because of rear end in a top hat moves like this that Adobe is forced to go after older license holders. If only you people would allow Corporate to rifle through your pocket for spare change, they wouldn't have to become so draconian. Trust the system, it works  Or are you a Commie?!?!

so how are the next 24 months going to pan out. Eternal support for a zombie economy through stonk markets while the rest of the economy dies and the dollar exchange market plummets? once the honeymoon period is over and the biden administration fails to/doesn't try to support the filthy peasants, something is going to crack, right? So what will snap first?

As far as I can tell, financial assets are buttressed by the central banks in the US and Europe making a point of not allowing the stock price to fall. So until Fed policy changes, I don't know if a bubble burst is possible? God knows what the biden administration is going to do next though* *if there is economic illiteracy in this post, please educate me double nine fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jan 3, 2021 |
