  • People do not choose their values so much as they choose those values that help

    People do not choose their values so much as they choose those values that help them create a world view that requires the least amount of problem-solving, and returns the highest self perceived social status from the values available to them.

    http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/Programs/ES/BPEA/2011_spring_bpea_papers/2011_spring_bpea_conference_burda.pdfGermany started with higher unemployment and contracted less. “Far from suffering its worst labor market response since the war, as the United States did, Germany employment barely fell. … the key explanation is that the low confidence of manufacturers that the preceding expansion would last led to low hiring at that time, which meant that fewer workers needed to be laid off…”

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/07/04/krauthammer_middle-aged_may_never_get_employed_again.html#.ThMr2PaN3sc.facebookThe problem of “Beached White Males”. The middle aged unemployed may never be employed again. If we distort the economy with credit so that people pursue careers that are only possible within credit bubbles, they are no longer retrainable and able to reenter the work force.

  • July 4th: A mistake?

    I love my country. The world is a better place because of the American Constitution. And the evidence is clear that everyone has been better off having been an English colony than a French one. But the colonists declared independence largely to escape paying the costs incurred by England in protecting the colonies during the Seven Years War. Which was at the very least, an unjust avoidance of responsibility by the colonists. Personally, I would prefer we had remained a colony. And I would still prefer a King or Queen to a president. History is a better thing to admire than politicians, and the evidence appears to suggest that monarchs were far better governors that our elected representatives have been. Despite the comforting untruths we tell ourselves. I still like the fireworks. 🙂

    http://www.capitalismv3.com/?page_id=1145Took the BBC survey. I’ve read 44 of 100 BBC Novels. Unfortunately there are Lots of complaints about that list since it was published. Politically weighted. Female weighted. (Where is Heinlein? or Cormack McCarthy? Advice and Consent? Bonfire of the Vanities? Atlas Shrugged? How much Jane Eyre should any list contain?). But it’s a list.

    I’ll pimp my own book list:

    http://www.capitalismv3.com/?p=3112The only people that think about Marxism any longer are silly people in the liberal arts who are so invested in the Marxian fantasy that they cannot change even if they wanted to, and simply haven’t died off yet. Marxism, like the French Rationalism that Marx took his inspiration from, is anti-empirical: contrary to the evidence. It’s too bad that the French and Marx failed to understand that English Liberalism w
