Price inflation is moving up again, in spite of President Trump’s repeated (and false) claims that prices are falling. The media isn’t right either, though, since much of the media consensus about June’s stubbornly high price inflation trend is that it was caused by tariffs. Tariffs however, are not inflationary. The price inflation we now […]
Former British prime minister Liz Truss describes Britain, as I describe the United States, as a country ruled by an establishment that is stronger than the elected leader.

Bad faith is based on Sartre’s premise that […]
On January 24, President Trump fired 17 inspector generals working for a wide array of federal agencies. Trump’s action jolted Washington because most of those officials could supposedly only be removed for cause — specific misconduct or other abuses. Trump also scorned the federal law requiring giving Congress 30-days notice before terminating such officials. Some […]
Clodovis Boff, the brother of the famous liberation theologian Leonardo Boff, recently wrote an open letter to the Latin American Bishops’ Conference (known as CELAM) in which he criticized what he called the same old music: “social, social, social.” He said the bishops neglected the basic religious message of Jesus.

Often, this created prosperity, with greater amounts of money passing from hand to hand with greater frequency. Not surprisingly, the interest paid to the merchants inspired them to increase the […]
