[zero hedge - on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero] First Greece, Now Spain: Moore Capital, Brevan Howard, Paulson As ...:  The scope of govt is an argument that rational people can have but there is little doubt that the Greek govt operates in a corrupt manner that results in an inefficient allocation of teh countries resources.  So I say bravo to the bond vigilantes for calling out both the Greek govt and the insolvent (without ECB bailout/monetization) European banking system.

[Safehaven] Safe Haven | From BRICs to STICs: However, the current combination has made considerable strides in the size of their economies and certainly in the cases of Brazil, China and India there has been some real progress in terms of economic diversification and social improvements. The BRIC idea has also helped push the idea that the largest and more critical Emerging Market countries deserve a place in governmental forums deciding global policy, a development evident in the shift from the G-7 (the U.S. UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Japan) to G-8 (adding Russia) to the G-20 (which since its inauguration in 1999 included Brazil, China and India).

[Clusterfuck Nation] The Jive Economy - Clusterfuck Nation: I must say that while Mr.Kunstler claims not to be a shill for the DNC, his preference has been, and is, obvious to anyone who had read his blog on a consistant basis. I find it odd, that despite decades of centralized political economic/social planning in the US, there are those who still think it could work if, "we only elected the right kind of people." Which is rather elitist and reminiscent of the fuhrerprinzip the German's practiced when they put that rather nasty man with the little funny moustache into power.

[Business Insider: Apple] Here's How To Debauch The Currency And Destroy Capitalism: One of the understated achievements of FDR in the 1930s was to save capitalism by adding essential safety nets, such as unemployment insurance, minimum wage, financial regulation and social security. Without the actions of FDR, we would no longer be a capitalist economy.

[Bisou] Miyo Baby Hammock - Our Positive Experience: Your courage to stand up for capitalism provides an environment for others who enjoy making money also. Your freedom to say what you want to say–especially controversial and provocative things–is the best protection for other individuals who differ in their opinion.

[The Rates Blog] Blogging On Interest Rates, Economics & Business in New Zealand: There was a fascinating piece on Greece on the BBC last night: how in that country the IRD officers are being given sweeping police state powers, and the populace fear them (and I mean scared crazy): that country is very soon under the tyranny of complete totalitarianism (again). I don’t want to live like that: why would you?

[The Big Picture] The Big Picture » Blog Archive » How Can Securitization Lending Be ...: And what exactly will securitization do to solve the problems of furnishing loans to insolvent borrowers or increasing demand from over-leveraged Americans who don’t want added debt?

[TheMoneyIllusion] TheMoneyIllusion » Seeing the world in a different way (one year ...: I used to think I had just a few ideas, and once I used those up I’d have nothing more to say.  As you’ve noticed (sometimes painfully) that is not my problem.  I suppose it came from being a loner for several decades.  As I weighed ideas in my mind I’d go from A to B to C, and then back to A.  Even when I’d think of a different angle, I’d rarely write it down and therefore I would soon forget.  Once I started blogging I realized I had more than three ideas, and even better, my interaction with commenters kept triggering new ways of thinking about the problem.  It’s not that I have come up with any earthshaking ideas, but it allows me to keep refining the argument, continually probing at the issue from different angles.  If you’d told me last year “write 1000 pages on monetary policy,” I would have recoiled in horror.  I figured I’d do a couple dozen posts, run out of ideas, and then merely comment on current events.  I had no idea that writing is thinking.  But now here I am a year later, and my blog is 1000 pages of sprawling essays.  Yes, there’s plenty of repetition, but even if you sliced out all the filler, I bet you could find a 200 page book in there somewhere.

[Economix] How Much Debt Is Too Much? - Economix Blog - NYTimes.com: Poor countries typically default on their debt in foreign currencies, not their debt denominated in their domestic currency.
