SHARE Monday, December 21, 2009 Wall Street Shoots Public with Machine Guns, and Laughs
Ben Bernanke has become a scapegoat for the economic crisis, but he shouldn't take the rap for our financial, and now economic disaster. Like him or not, you can't fault his intentions. And so these bankers, instead of criticizing Bernanke, should take a long hard look in the mirror and see the face of the problem--their deliberate actions that have hurt us all.

Some Times reporters recently compared Dubai's situation to the last days of Rome. What a poor comparison. These are not the last days of Rome, but the first days of a new Constantinople! Not since Constantinople, has such glory been built so quickly! Magnificence, embodied.

This article discusses Nassim Taleb's concept of the Fourth Quadrant, which is just a giant dose of common sense applied to statistical modeling.

SHARE Thursday, May 7, 2009 Relevant Thoughts on the Liberian Government's Debt and Money
I think this article's content is timely given Liberia's recent debt repayment, and the looming implementation of a common currency for the West African Monetary Zone. I am very concerned about Liberia's future and the welfare of its people, and I believe Liberia is gambling away its future prosperity in the hopes of pleasing the international banking establishment.
