The New Economic Reality

Very few economists and financial experts believed a financial disaster like the one we are currently experiencing could actually happen. Over the spring and summer of 2008, oil prices rose to levels never seen before in the United States—which equated to a half billion dollar tax on American consumer’s spendable income. This was followed by the collapse of the mortgage markets, brought on by an aggressive price bubble with too many people buying homes they couldn’t afford in the hopes of being… Continue

ECONOMY THAT HEALS: CHALLENGE OF THE NEW EPOCH

Erle Frayne Argonza / Guru Ra Magandang Hapon! Good afternoon! Please know first that this writer/analyst is both (b) economist and (b) mystic-healer. For some time now, the challenge of contributing to the construction of an ‘economy that heals’ has been knocking at my ‘mental coconut’, a task that explains this article and many yet that will succeed this one. As an economist, my lines of subspecializations are: (a) development economics, (b) political economy & public policy, (c) intern… Continue

WILL ZAIBATSU OFFENSIVE BE ACCOMPANIED BY NEW JAPANESE MILITARISM?

Erle Frayne Argonza In a previous article, this writer articulated the success of the Japanese Zaibatsu offensive. As one ought to realize, the success of the Zaibatsu offensive came at the expense of other markets, notably the North’s. Intellectually bankrupt as they are, the policy makers and technocrats of the North never foresaw the catastrophic consequences of predatory policies more so those concerning finance that came from their Japanese partners. Today, Zaibatsus are well prepositione… Continue

ZAIBATSU GLOBALIZATION ‘VOODOO ECONOMICS’ BOWING OUT

Erle Frayne Argonza Magandang hapon! Good afternoon! Let me share to you at this moment some notes regarding the ‘globalization’ experiment and the flawed policies that sustained it. There has been much ballyhoo about the global economy’s integration, over the last three (3) decades, as having been carved out supposedly by the Anglo-Saxon policy architects, using Thatcher & Reagan as the face for the ‘neo-liberal’ policy regime they installed. Little do peoples across the globe, including… Continue

A Tax Lesson

A Tax Lesson Suppose that every day, ten men go out for a beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seem… Continue

The Anatomy of a Bubble: IT’S THE DERIVATIVES

Until recently, most people had never even heard of derivatives; but in terms of money traded, these investments represent the biggest financial market in the world. Derivatives are financial instruments that have no intrinsic value but derive their value from something else. Basically, they are just bets. You can “hedge your bet” that something you own will go up by placing a side bet that it will go down. “Hedge funds” hedge bets in the derivatives market. Bets can be placed on anything, from… Continue

The Efficacy of "Traditional" Neoclassical Economics in Solving Current Problems

My name is Jeffrey M Doyle. I ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR AND MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, RECEIVING MY Ph.D. IN 1977. FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS MY [AND OTHERS] IDEAS WERE DISMISSED AS UNPROVEN AND NOT RELEVANT. TODAY MOST OF WHAT I PROPOSED IN A 1977 PH.D. DISSERTATION HAS NOT ONLY GAINED ACCEPTANCE BUT IS BEING ACTIVELY PROMOTED AND PUT INTO PRACTICE. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. IN TERMS OF OUR ECONOMY, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE WORST SHAPE SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 1929. HARD COR… Continue

OBAMA IS AMERICA’S MAN OF THE HOUR

Erle Frayne Argonza Good morning from Manila! The candidacy of Barak Obama had generated a lot of surprises and raised hopes about reversing the trends of economic decay and neo-conservative (fascist) aggression by the USA, henceforth catapulting the USA back to its role as a world leader and friend of the world’s nations. Not only in the USA but also overseas, did Obama capture wide audiences and sympathies, and his image is still moving up the ladder of meteoric ascent as of the moment. Ind… Continue

Who Will Save the People Below MiddleClass?

Today there is a growing increase in the loss of employment, along with challenges of finding job security. Our politicians’ debate in disagreement about our economic crisis leaving you wondering is there such a thing as a bail out. Above all, the biggest focus seems to be the middle class families. If this is the case, what about the poor? It seems to me that most of us today are closer to the social class of being poor rather than being rich. For example, who have the best credit scores? What… Continue

How about leveling the playing field with this .

How about leveling the playing field with this . I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a 'We Deserve It Dividend'. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00. My plan is… Continue

US WATCH: TRANSPORT U.S. BACK TO PROSPERITY

Erle Frayne Argonza The final feature of the US ‘real economy’ worth featuring is transportation & communications. This is among the most productive sectors that produce real wealth, contrasted to the ‘casino economy’ of predatory finance that produces wealth from out of wealth itself, producing really nothing worth our value. Broad as it is, let me focus on the transport sector. Time was when the railway industry took off, inducing growth as soon as the railways hit the West. The continen… Continue

US WATCH: S & T CUTTING EDGE EROSION

Erle Frayne Argonza As I’ve been stressing in previous articles, “it’s the economy” that count much as top agenda to be addressed by policy makers, bureaucrats and growth stakeholders in the USA. And this should be the primary concern of the political bigwigs when election comes by the end of the year. A policy shift that will veer away America from the destructive flames of the ‘virtual economy’ founded on predatory finance, back to the ‘real economy’ based on tangible outputs in manufacturin… Continue

US WATCH: INFRASTRUCTURE DECAY, NEEDS MASSIVE REDEVELOPMENT

Erle Frayne Argonza A bridge has fallen, the Mississipi river flooded Orleans like some pathetic third world city, airports are too cramped up as they are incapable of containing the surge in passenger & cargo levels, the East Coast experienced the emergency shut down due to grid overload (causing massive blackout), railway tracks are thinning out and overall capacity is on downward trend, and more. They seem to be unrelated, but for economists and sociologists the trends all tell the same… Continue

US WATCH: AGRICULTURE DECAYS, BIOFUEL MATTERS MOST!

Erle Frayne Argonza Agriculture remains to be among the most protected sectors of the US economy. Enough to cause ceaseless chagrin on the members of the WTO, who have been demanding that the EU-USA-Japan trilateral belt better play by the rules and remove the trade barriers in agriculture. But the overall alarming trend in America’s agriculture is the rapid shrinking of arable lands altogether. Lucky enough that America is blessed with millions of acres of arable land, but the liberalization… Continue

US WATCH: ECONOMY’S REAL VALUE

Erle Frayne Argonza Great and mighty is America’s economy! America can buy the whole earth and feed all the world’s people! Americans are the world’s wealthiest, they can buy any and all guys outside the borders! What delusional arrogance from some demonic Pied Pipers! The USA’s GDP ended up at $12.5 Trillion last year, though some indicator massage could yield a higher figure of $13.5 Trillion (using Purchasing Power Parity or PPP). Measure this against the Gross World Product of GWP of $59 T… Continue
