Obama, Energy Policy, and Dismal Energy Science
Economics is often called the dismal science because of an article written by Thomas Carlyle more than 150 years ago. In it he proposed mockingly to reintroduce slavery to control labor markets. During modern times, this moniker proves to be a prophetic choice. Modern economics have, after all, brought us not only free markets and unimaginable monetary rewards for the few chosen ones, but have also produced the great depression of 1931, the world financial crisis of 2008, and 12 recessions in ...Continue reading this entry »School, Scholar, War Clouds

Globalization is mandatory. If you want to resolve the self-made indigenous problems in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and redress their self-created social and economic crises, you must be advocating more, not less trade, including reduced tariff and non-tariff barriers.
