Capitalism need only be modified by the abolition of usury and by implementing Islamic principles of government

It is curious why this option is never considered by Western economists.   Is it because of arrogance or ignorance?

I asked Roger Bootle if he thought the nation would be more or less prosperous if, say the Equality and Equal Pay Acts were repealed, but have not received an answer so far.

If it is true that the higher the rate of illegitimacy is your society, the more matriarchal you are as a society?

Matriarchal societies are sex and shopping societies.  Matriarchal societies are also societies that condone extramarital sex.   This means us, then.

Is it not interesting that the Western country with the highest rate of illegitimacy, Iceland, is now bankrupt?

I wonder if Stephanie Flanders herself would like to attempt to answer this question.

How would the world be and what would happen if our economies were run without the practice of usury?

Homespun wisdom on the Credit Crunch?

Much of the Credit Crunch seems analogous to the time when I fell over in the street.

Losing my balance while walking down the street, I was determined to stop myself from falling over. I struggled desperately to regain it, zigging and zagging, straining and flailing, nearly bumping into other pedestrians in my efforts to stay upright. In the end I still fell over anyway and ripped the knee of my new jeans.

My humiliation would have been less spectacular and rather shortened had I just accepted the inevitable.

Could this analogy be useful to central bankers thinking it is still a good idea to throw good money after bad?

"This massive bailout is not the solution, it is financial socialism, and it is un-American."

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, called the market turmoil “an economic Pearl Harbor."
