MACDONALD: Where Is Capitalism’s New Capital?

Even after Jihadis took down the World Trade Center, you decide if they did it because the CIA/FBI/NSA/ETC. Asked them to or let them, New York City continues to be the world capital of capitalism. As big a deal as it was, it didn’t change anything. Smoothed for inflation, there is no marked difference in … Read more

MACDONALD: CO2 is Not a Pollutant

We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for … Read more

PAYNE: The Euthanasia of Capitalism

Among several comments responding to my October 7th OP-ED called the HIGH PRICE OF TYRANNY, were the words: “There is no $37 trillion debt.

New ideas come from new ways of thinking.” Kessler puts it so well.

America’s Problem with Consumerism Is the Government’s Fault

At the end of every year, as we make our way through the holidays, you’ll hear no shortage of complaints about the rampant hyper-consumerism at the heart of modern American society. And these complaints aren’t without merit. Flip on the TV or walk through any city’s commercial district before Christmas, and it’s easy to get … Read more

Capitalism Defeats Racism

In her essay “Racism,” Ayn Rand argues that racism — which she describes as “the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism” — is incompatible with capitalism and can only be defeated through capitalism.

Capitalism Versus Free Speech

In the make-believe, fairy-tale world that people like Joe Sweeney, Ross Berry, Mikey Graham, Drew Cline, the Koch-bots, and the libertarians (an incomplete list) espouse, Big Business ALWAYS acts in their financial self-interest, which ultimately benefits everyone. EXCEPT Big Business does NOT act in such a manner.

Capitalism Never Fails, Only Communists Fail

There is a continuously stronger chorus of voices in the Anglosphere claiming that capitalism has failed.

Notable Quote – Consumers Determine the Marketplace

Socialists and Democrats (but I repeat myself) always lambast Big Business as the Evil component of capitalism.  They forget: On the market of a capitalistic society the common man is the sovereign consumer whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. Those shops and plants … Read more
