A History Lesson for the Markets

Macro Man,

As you have been billed as a student of 'historical arcana', there are
several questions I would like to pose, if you don't mind. 1) Have you
ever considered why the United States according to some has an
educational system ranked 25th in the modern world? 2) Have you re-
searched in any detailed manner the history of the fate of countries
that have embraced fiat monetary systems and violated the discipline
of maintaining a gold standard as a check ? 3) (This is my favorite part)
have you per chance happen to have any knowledge (arcane?) of the
following texts a) Pushkin-a Biography by Elaine Feinstein, b) Sex and
Race Volumes I,II, & III by J. A. Rogers ( a portrait of Charlotte Sophia in
Vol. I is an 'arcane' item someone of your persuasion should find very
interesting indeed!), c) Destined to Witness by Hans J. Massaquoi, & d) Stolen Prince (adopted son of Peter the Great who later as advisor helped Peter Modernize Russia and bring her up to equal standing with western europe!), by Hugh Barnes. Why don't you run over to good old
Amazon.com and taste and see some of these little 'arcane' treats!

Tally ho!
