February 9, 2012 by Dan Mitchell When Ronald Reagan said that big government undermined the economy, some people dismissed his comments because of his philosophical belief in liberty. And when I discuss my work on the economic impact of government spending, I often get the same reaction. This is why it’s important that a growing number of establishment outfits are slowly but surely coming around to the same point of view. This is remarkable. That’s an exaggeration, of course. But maybe they’ll be convinced by new research from the World Bank, which just produced a major report on the outlook for Europe.
There are good reasons to suspect that big government is bad for growth. In other words, government spending undermines growth, and the damage is magnified by poorly designed tax policies. The authors then put forth a theoretical hypothesis. Then the authors report their results. becomes bigger is far more pronounced in Europe, particularly when government size exceeds 40 percent of GDP. The Capitalism Site | Laissez-faire capitalism is the political economic system based on individual rights. WSBanks.pdf (application/pdf Object) Labor Struggle: A Free Market Model. The Great Domain of Cost-Plus: The Waste Production Economy. The mainstream Left faults corporate capitalism for planned obsolescence, waste, and general excess — but usually misses the statist root of the problem.
Kevin Carson, though, consistently strikes it. His eleventh research study for the Center is now available for download: The Great Domain of Cost-Plus: The Waste Production Economy [PDF] Cost-Plus: The Waste Production Economy By Kevin Carson “Mass production requires running machinery at full speed to minimize unit costs, without regard to preexisting demand. This large batch production model carries with it, in turn, the imperative of controlling the outside society to guarantee demand for the products, so the economy is not glutted with unsold inventory. This is accomplished, in part, by mechanisms of push distribution: high-pressure marketing and planned obsolescence.

STUDY: The Market, Not Government, Is The Worker’s Friend. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 09/30/10 POC Thomas L. Knapp media@c4ss.org 530-618-C4SS September 30 – In the Center for a Stateless Society’s latest study, “Labor Struggle: A Free Market Model,” C4SS Research Associate Kevin Carson examines the role of state labor regulation in halting the progress of unionism and explores the real source of pre-Wagner Act gains for labor: Direct action and worker solidarity in the face of combined state and corporate power.
“The predominance of the conventional strike as we know it, as the primary weapon of labor struggle,” writes Carson, “is in fact a byproduct of the labor relations regime created under the Wagner Act. … In the system of labor relations extant before Wagner, strikes were only one part of the total range of available tactics. The Center for a Stateless Society is a project of the Molinari Institute, dedicated to building public awareness of, and support for, market anarchism. -30- about 210 words.
The Khazars, Magyars, Rothschilds and Sumer. (David Icke Guide To The Global Conspiracy) « Zionism (Rothschild-ism): the fake ‘history’ The movement created by the Rothschilds to lay false claim to the land we call Israel or Palestine is known as Zionism. This term is often used as a synonym for Jewish people when it is actually a political movement devised, funded and promoted through the House of Rothschild and opposed by many Jews. The most visible Zionist front in the United States today are the so-called ‘Neoconservatives’ or ‘Neocons’, who were behind 9 /11 and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Zionists claim quite simply that the Old Testament says that ‘God’ made the Jews his ‘Chosen People’ and gave them the ‘Promised Land’ of Israel. Therefore, it belongs to them, no debate necessary. In about AD 740, the King of Khazaria, King Bulan, adopted the religion of Judaism and the whole nation did the same. As to the Khazars, they are to the north of the inhabited Earth towards the 7th clime, having over their heads the constellation of the Plough. Sumerian ‘Jews’ Serious Inflation Signs in PPI Numbers. "There’s really nothing here to shake my view that deflation, not inflation, is the threat.
" -Paul Krugman in the New York Times on November 7, 2010. There is simply no way to interpret the current Producer Price Index data other than price inflation continues to trend higher. Those Keynesian economists such as Krugman, who have been warning about deflation and disinflation, are being proved wrong in dramatic fashion. The PPI for finished goods rose 0.8 percent in January, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved up 1.1 percent (a 13.2 per cent annualized rate), and of greatest concern the crude goods index rose 3.3 percent (a 39.6 annualized rate). For the 3-month period ended in January, crude material prices climbed 11.5 percent after moving up 8.8 percent from July to October.
Even Nixon's core inflation came in at 0.5 per cent, an annualized rate of 6.0 per cent. QE2 Fuels a Global Fury - Mark Thornton. The Federal Reserve has been busy the last three months pumping up the money supply by $300 billion dollars, with much more promised in the months ahead. Some of the results have been painfully predictable, others less so. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said he did this to stimulate housing and employment. The unemployment rate has fallen in recent months, but most market analysts are skeptical that the statistical improvement is real or lasting. The headline numbers on housing also appear good, with building permits increasing 16.7 percent in December. However, units actually "currently under construction" came down by the same amount, 16.7 percent.
Even the improvement in building permits indicates continuing trouble. Also, the number of permits issued in December 2010 was 7 percent less than in December of 2009. One factor weighing on the housing market was interest rates. The price of everything seems to have skyrocketed. Comment on the blog. The Austrian Economists. |Peter Boettke| Listening to NPR one morning, this story about soccer playing robots came on and I was intrigued by the discussion. When I entered graduate school and was assigned to Don Lavoie, my expectation would be that I would be working on questions related to the problems of economic calculation under socialism. Of course, I wasn't disappointed as in the first 2 years of graduate study Lavoie was finishing up Rivalry and Central Planning, and National Economic Planning: What is Left? But most of my work for Don at that stage of those projects was reference checking, his argument was already completed and written down.
So besides learning by reading his books, I learned how to work the open stacks at the Library of Congress and browse the University of Maryland library shelves to double check and track down accurate references that Lavoie was citing. Well now go back to think about our soccer playing robots.
