The economic content of "Our Father" is the same as the content of Concordian economic policy. To make our daily bread, we need the right of access to four (modern) factors of production; to have a robust economy, we need to cancel our debts every seven years - as Moses commanded.

What to do with President Trump? Impeachment, if feasible at alll, will take a long time -- and it will split the country asunder. Would a call for The Redemption of the Bully unify the country?

SHARE Saturday, April 8, 2017 What To Do If The Stock Market Crashes?
When the market crashed, bailouts and bailins prevented total collapse of the economy. Next time, governments might not be as free to use taxpayers' resources and the condition of the economy will become more dangerous. Next time, however, the damage will be minimal if the Fed opens its Discount Window to fund infrastructure and Main Street projects -- the real market, in other words, rather than the financial market.

As in many other economic policies, our nation is at an impasse concerning health care because we are locked into two irreconcilable ideologies: market vs government. The third way is the Amish way, the American way. The Amish pay cash for health care; save a bundle; and are in full control. This solution implies that we have to make the American consumer rich again.

If Kim Jong-un agrees to stop his race to arms, will President Trump stop threatening North Korea's destruction? And if the two of them agree, will members of the international community underwrite the agreement with their own lives?
SHARE Saturday, August 15, 2020 Five Republican Senators...

There are many reasons why President Trump must go at the earliest possible moment. We have work to do. With his divisive bent, he is impeding our progress.
SHARE Monday, February 3, 2020 Perjury
Donald Trump committed perjury at the very moment he took the oath of office. He had asked Russia for help during the campaign -- and then he has asked Ukraine and even China to help him win the 2020 campaign.

Econ-Ecol. What a lovely expression. But the two subjects are still separated from each other. Mine is an ongoing attempt to unite the study -- and ideally, the practice -- of Economics and Ecology.

A few years ago, I invited ecologists and physicists to study the new world of Concordian economics - through which they could settle their differences for the benefit of everyone. Nothing happened. If I now extend this invitation to practitioners of "ego-nomics, will we obtain different results?"
SHARE Sunday, November 4, 2018 About Granting American Citizenship
If we decide to deny the privilege of American citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants, we have to be clear what is that we are denying. We are denying, no, we are preventing an explicit appreciation of our country.

The need for a Republican Party of Concord is urgent. This party might want to implement four Concordian economic policies designed to respect the needs of modern factors of production.
Likelihood of success will increase if Lincolnians cross the isle and encourage their colleagues to create the Democratic Party of Concord as well.
The Revolution from the Center will benefit oligopolists and MAGA People alike.

SHARE Thursday, October 13, 2016 More on Compassion
Stephen Dinan has opened up an important area of political research, an area that so far seems to be confined to a host of related disciplines--from psychology to religion to New Age studies. This is the new, stunning political imperative he has proposed: We must defeat Donald Trump for his own good.

That he won the election is a lie; that he lost it because of a vast conspiracy is another lie, an extremely dangerous lie because it undermines the legitimacy of our electoral process. To prevent the spreading of these lies, President Trump must be removed from office ASAP. Either five brave Republican Senators require his resignation, or a Congressional Letter informs him that he has been FIRED.

Do Republican Senators realize that President Trump has lost his base? He has been declared a coward. A coward is not a leader.
The Senate must strip Donald Trump of his powers and forever bar him from public office.
We cannot do the serious of reconstruction of society that needs to be done if we are concentrating on the antics and the dangers offered by Donald Trump.

The dangers of leaving President Trump in power for three more months if he loses the election or four more years if he wins are enormous. To avert these dangers, it only takes five brave Republican Senators to respectfully ask him to resign - for his own good, the good of the nation and the good of the Republican Party.

The most dangerous lie of the last four years is that Trumpism is an economic policy.
The lie prevents a clear assessment of reality. It prevents a fair examination of such economics policies as Concordian monetary policies expected to be welcomed even by the Fed.
To give air to President Biden, Speaker Pelosi might be wise to present articles of impeachment to the Senate THREE MONTHS FROM NOW.
