As go South Africa and Zimbabwe, so goes the world???Robert Duigan reflects on recent events in South Africa, and how they may be a harbinger for the future of Europe and North America too. He calls it "Civilizational Brinkmanship", and he's not optimistic. I want to disagree with Mr. Duigan, but in all honesty he argues his position very well indeed. He sees many parallels between what's happening in South Africa today, and what happened in Zimbabwe recently, and what's happening in the West - Europe and North America - today.

Maurice, Khosrow II, and the Fall of PersiaIn 595 AD, Byzantine Emperor Maurice sent an elephant and a gold couch to Bayan I, Khagan of the Northeast Caucasian nomadic tribe called Avars, to convince him to ally with the Byzantine Empire.

In exchange for his support, he managed to extract a massive tribute from Maurice: 100,000 gold coins, close to 1,000 lbs of gold, per year.

Inflation and the "stealth" default on US government debtPeter Schiff is anathema to many mainstream economic pundits, because he persists in telling it like it is.

I don't necessarily agree with his proposed solutions, but he certainly analyzes our problems in a very down-to-earth, realistic way. Here's what he has to say about our latest gross domestic product figures, and their relationship to inflation and our national debt. Bold, underlined text is my emphasis.

Today the roles are reversed: Liberals are the ones who respect the authority of institutions such as the federal government, the scientific community, universities and schools, the media, big business, the military, and the FBI, while the right subjects them all to “ridicule and scorn.” It's an interesting comparison -- not without a little humor.
