"Why do consumers, who interact with markets every day, have essentially no idea where prices come from?"
* "Why do consumers, who interact with markets every day, have essentially no idea where prices come from? I think it’s because they have zero incentive to learn. If I’m a price-taking customer buying in a competitive spot market, then all that matters to me is the price. I could have a crazy theory about where the price comes from that involves the phases of the moon and the appetite of my pet cat. Or I could have a sophisticated theory based on supply and demand analysis. The market won’t punish me for my crazy theory any more than it will reward me for my sophisticated theory. ... read more
Sunday Afternoon Links
This and that for your Sunday reading. - Beatrice Adler-Bolton discusses how the U.S.' debate over the most basic of COVID-19 protections reflects fundamental choices as to whether people should have even the slightest respect for each others' health and well-being. Glen Pearson notes that a (however unjustifiable) willingness to accept protections in order to avoid needless COVID spread will necessitate other, far larger changes in how we live our lives. And Public Health Ontario offers (PDF) a look at the current state of knowledge about long COVID - including the reality that i... read more

The cover-up in Ukraine is getting worse
TBM Nation posted this interesting video on their blog. Locally the fake news is getting extreme. They ran a picture of a little girl with a tear running down her face smudging her blue and yellow face paint. I'm not agreeing with either side of this conflict but I am saying all this violence and displacement could have and still can be easily avoided. All the post coup president had to do was say we're not joining NATO and we're not putting nuclear missiles on Russia's border. His pride and selfishness caused all this unnecessary chaos as well as that little girl's tears. read more

Ever since that day, relatives, friends and supporters of those who were ... read more

We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology. We thrash about. We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life." - Edward O. Wilson read more

Avoid snap judgments

One military miscue. One assassination. One violent act that stirs the world. And the dominoes will topple, setting off fireworks not seen on this planet since 1939 – 1945.

May Day—Workers In India Feel Increasing Need For Unity
This year May Day is being observed at a time of increasing need for wider unity by workers in the wake of adverse government policies leading to increasing burden of unemployment and inflation at the same time. Policies relating to demonetization, poorly conceived tax reform in the form of GST, privatization, excessively stringent and poorly planned lock-downs have led to massive job losses and reduced income across vast areas of economic activity, while policies which favor big business interests contribute at least partly to rise of price of several essential commodities.
