Global Warming Models: 'Out of Order'?

The big problem is that many Scientists in many areas are ignoring the concept of the Cycle. We are now in a downpath of the economic Kondratiev Cycle. We are in also in the downpath of the Cultural Cycle of the West and we are in a downpath of the Climate Cycle. All these cycles interfere and the total effect is what we now call a Crisis. If we look at the movement of all these Cycles into the Future we see a completely different world emerging.

What Scientists also don't want to accept is that Cycles go their own way. We, the Humans, are just a small part of very complex system of Cycles in Cycles in Cycles.

The only thing we can do is make use of this knowlegde to prepare our selves for the future instead of trying to interfere with something that is going its own way.

25 Reasons We Will Not Have a Depression

I think the huge irriversible Climate Change that is currently taken place will affect the economy and politics more than people believe at the moment. The positive effect of a Depression on the Climate is visible. If I was Mother Earth I would support everything that brings the destructive consumer economy down.

Will a New Gold Standard Make Our Future Brighter?

The idea behind the Golden Standard was to create Balance between the Economies of the World. When one of the dominant participants in a Standard is out of Balance the Standard fails. It happened with England and now it is happening with the US. All the time the main reason was a costly War.

Why Won't Obama Just Create the Jobs?

I am living in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is what the people in the US would call a socialistic country. The Dutch Government has created many jobs inside and outside government. This approach is not effective because the jobs are fake jobs. The best solution is to support small and medium size companies. They are the motors of society.

The Destruction of the 'American Dream'

The American Dream was and is a dream that is now turning into a Nightmare. The Big Problem is that there is always a Cake to Divide. The American Dream gave people the idea that this Cake was Infinite. Now it becomes very clear that there is not much left. Many people outside the US (India, China, Eastern Europe, etc, etc ...) still believe in the American Dream. They want their share of the Cake too. The only solution is that the West takes less so the others can take a little bit of the rest. We are in a process of balancing on the level of Earth. If this will not happen in due time we will all Fall off the Earth into the Void of Deep Space.

This Rally Is Sustainable: Halftime Report, Part 2

The stock market is governed by psychology. If many people believe the stock market will go up. It will go up. Reality (unemployment, etc) is lagging behind. If the investors Faces Reality the next downfall will start. I hope there comes a time when the stock market is governed by Realists. If this happens the recession will be over. According to the Kondratiev Cycle the next stage starting around 2012 will be the state of Spring. New Ideas will start to appear about what has to happen in the future. One of these ideas could be to stop with the Stock Market Gambling Machine and create an alternative that is more Sustainable.

Please, Not Another Stimulus

What you are describing is exactly what the Kondratiev-cycle is predicting. We are now in the Kondratiev-Winter, the time of Cleaning.

Long-Term Job Stagnation Could Lead to a Barbell Economy

I agree with this post a 100%. I am working in the IT-industry for 36 years now and the only things that really matters when companies invest in IT is job-reduction. Sadly enough the potential of IT to reduce jobs is increasing every year. IT is now targeting the so called Knowledge Workers. It will takes some time when they are out of a job but there is no doubt it will happen sooner than you think. If we don't watch out the computer will control us instead of the other way around.

The strange effect of IT is that we are getting what we want but we dont accept that this is happening. We are moving to the state of the Artificial Garden of Eden but the Calvinistic Work Ethic forbids us to enjoy the Garden of Eden on Earth.

Changing the view on Work and other concepts (like Money) will help us to see the huge transformation that is happening in a positive perspective.

Is Socialism Coming Back to Haunt U.S.?

The entrepreneurial spirit of hard work, risk taking and self-reliance was created by John Calvin in the 16th century.

Socialism is a "spinn-off" from the French Revolution that took place in 1789 (Liberty, Equality and Community). The Bourgeoisie, The Calvinistic Middleclass, soon took over the power and restored and enhanced Capitalism by creating the Factories.

The only movement that was really Socialistic was the Cooperative Movement. It created Cooperative Banks and Insurance Companies all over Europe. The Cooperative Structure is in my opinion the best way to move out of this crisis.

Obama Summarizes Economic Policies, Misses Several Key Points

Education is an investment when the result of the education can be used in practice. Most of the education is useless. What is learned is forgotten within weeks. Most of the time people have to get rid of a lot of abstract theory when they start to practice. At that moment they aquire Experience. Experience is the most valuable asset in life.

The Government's Massive Cover Up of the Economic Crisis

I have been in the banking business for over 25 years and I believe their has been fraud at the highest level of banking and government. I live and work in the Netherlands and I hope our parliament will have the guts to start an open inquiry. The voters are very upset and the political climate in my country is changing with the speed of light. The bad thing is that the "fascists" parties are growing like hell. The turbulence in society is increasing.

Bernanke's Game Plan and How It's Affecting the Dollar

When everybody country is dependent on the other the famous Prisoners Dilemma is at stake. The best way to win the iterated prisoners dilemma is to copy the move of the other (Tit-for-Tat) until the opponent starts to realize that the only way to leave the economic prison is to cooperate. When you want to cooperate you have to be open about your strengths and weaknesses. When the US is not ready to admit that they are one of the weakest economy in the world the competitive game will go on until every weakness is visible. The Chinese are the Masters of Art of War (Tsun Zu) and they are fighting a Financial War they will certainly win.
