The Best Intentions of Sir Ronald Cohen: Building the Crypto-Corrals of Social Investment
Raul Diego, MintPress News - 6 hours ago
It’s a tangled web but the bottom line is that social-impact investing, given a big boost by the pandemic and the “Great Reset” planned in its wake, can be made to sound so good that it’s hard to conceive what a dangerous threat it poses: it only “works” by herding and caging.

Why Containment Can Stop the China Threat
Hal Brands, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Hal Brands* *China Containment, Asia* Walter Lippmann was right that the Cold War would expose America to great evils. He was wrong to think that America could not, or should not, accept them as the price of avoiding even greater ones. IN 1947, Walter Lippmann wrote a small book called *The Cold War: A Study in U.S. Foreign Policy*. Based on a series of newspaper columns, it was hardly an endorsement of American strategy in the U.S.-Soviet rivalry. Lippmann, rather, wrote his volume in response to George Kennan’s “X Article,” published in *Foreign Affairs* earlier that year, in ...

COVID-19 Revealed How Sick the US Health Care Delivery System Really Is
Elizabeth A. Regan, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Elizabeth A. Regan* *Coronavirus, United States* In reality, the U.S. health care sector is not a system at all. If you got the COVID-19 shot, you likely received a little paper card that shows you’ve been vaccinated. Make sure you keep that card in a safe place. There is no coordinated way to share information about who has been vaccinated and who has not. That is just one of the glaring flaws that COVID-19 has revealed about the U.S. health care system: It does not share health information well. Coordination between public health agencies and medical providers is lacking. Tec...

Is The Red Sea Actually An Ocean?
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 9 hours ago
The Red Sea is about 1000 miles long and at most just over 170 miles wide. The Greeks called it a sea but they also called the Persian Gulf a sea. It may instead be an ocean, because an ocean basin exists between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The Greeks did not know that and the problem in knowing now is that the oceanic crust along the narrow, north-south aligned rift is widely buried under a thick blanket of salt and sediments, which complicates direct investigations. read more

Morocco’s Message: Beware Iran’s African Inroads
Ilan Berman, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Ilan Berman* *Iran, Africa* What drives Iran’s new activism in Africa? Moroccan officials point to a number of factors. The first is strategic opportunism, as the African continent grows in global economic and political significance. As the Biden administration focuses on renewed nuclear diplomacy with Iran, it runs the risk of missing clear signs that the Iranian regime is stepping up its activism in a crucial strategic theater: North Africa.

Hyperinflation and "Modern Monetary Theory" - a conundrum

In our study of inflation on this blog, we've examined hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic in some depth. We've also referenced, in passing, hyperinflation in other countries such as Zimbabwe, Venezuela, etc. I recently came across a very interesting article examining hyperinflation in then-Zaire (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in the 1990's. Here's an excerpt. The Zairian economy had managed to stay afloat during decades of kleptomania, nepotism, and military spending by Mobuto and his cronies due to Western Aid and high prices for the various minerals mined...
