Interesting times
One thing that cannot reasonably be said of our times is that they are uninteresting. All at once the world is turned on its head, and none can say what will shake out. The dissolution of the euro, or the...

Irish subjugation
Here’s a long essay that incisively examines the ruinous financial crisis in Ireland, which is above all a banking crisis. Unlike Greece, this is not a public sector problem. In Ireland, free enterprise excesses, extreme excesses rightly compared to the...

Economic houses upon the sand.
The old verities of economics, outstripped by events, are revealed as impostures. Perhaps the most basic imposture is that of supposing economics a science capable of the precision and predictability of the physical sciences. Upon this sandy foundation were erected...

Notes on the continuing crisis
Securities markets have witnessed some extraordinary disorder in recent weeks. Back in early May there was the stomach-churning “flash crash” on the New York Stock Exchange, when some as-yet-unexplained disruption triggered a brief but precipitous collapse in US equities. One...

The bailout of globalization
With regard to particular assets — say, mortgage securities or Italian bonds — each bank knew only its own exposure to Long-Term [Capital Management]. Goldman Sachs had no idea that Salomon might be financing a similar trade; J. P. Morgan...

Fragment on Capitalism and Free Enterprise
Is there a useful distinction between Capitalism and Free Enterprise? I am convinced that the answer to that is an emphatic yes; and that the distinction is vital to a proper understanding of the wreck of our political economy. Free...

Political economy and human motives.
It is a distinct temptation to concentrate one’s attention, and therefore one’s censure, on the intrigues of Wall Street. And often mere intrigues are what they are. I am have been perusing a handful of books by business and finance...

Shadow banking.
US regulators released some signal financial numbers last week. As the Financial Times reported, “The US financial sector's losses on large loans exploded in 2009, exceeding the combined losses since 2001, with hedge funds and other members of the...

Biblical solutions?
You know things are getting grim when sophisticated economists writing in the Financial Times begin contemplating Biblical solutions. Here we have Willem Buiter, who ably relates the general failure of governmental policies since the Crash, and concludes by proposing...

The tragedy of usury.
Writing at The New Ledger, Francis Cianfrocca lucidly explains the precarious financial condition of the Republic. In the course of this he also provides some very useful economic history about how we got where we are. The answer to...

Morbid optimism, from banks to the streets.
Out amongst the usual street theater that follows a meeting of world economic powers like that held last week in London, the observer will behold a good sample of debased political idiom. The banners read like cant on stilts: "Abolish...

The Great Usury Crisis
A collection of posts discussing the nature of usury, and its role in the current recession. The image is Rembrandt's Christ Drives Money-Changers from the Temple, 1626. "The 300 Optimists," March 16 "Usury is an offense against property," March...

Usury is an offense against property.
This is a good discussion of usury we've had. Let's stick with it a bit. Proposed, that usury really ought to be seen as an offense against property. According to the Angelic Doctor usury is unjust because it is "to...

Securitized fish.
Writing in Vanity Fair and alternating between brilliance and fatuity, Michael Lewis examines one of the detonation zones of the Great Usury Crisis: Iceland. The essay is illuminating in many ways. Lewis certainly understands the culture and psychology of high...

Electric brinkmanship
Object lesson. As I write, the price of credit default swaps on GE senior debt is soaring. That would be General Electric Co. Its CDS is being quoted in "points up front," which in Wall Street argot means that to...

A conjecture
I conjecture that the present economic difficulties of the U.S. will strengthen the grip of political correctness in both business and in higher education. People will be afraid either of losing their jobs or of not being hired in the...

Socialism and the crisis of usury.
A massive transformation in the character of the American political economy is taking place right now, unlike anything since the New Deal. When all is said and done, the state is going to swallow up another 10 or 15 percent...

September flashbacks.
I’m starting to have flashbacks to last September. It’s not a pleasant feeling. The banking sector is clearly still in dire straights. Financial stocks have plotted an almost unbroken decline since the first of the year. Citigroup announced this week...

Technicals and the modern error.
Keynes (right) with Harry Dexter White I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity. I hope one day to be able to say that truthfully. Because right now the Keynesian economic prescriptions I hear everywhere,...

CDS and human hubris.
Learning of the kinds of exotic instruments used by Wall Street in the years before the crash can be a mind-boggling experience. First, of course, because of the complexity of these things; but also because of the staggering sums of...

Notes on the crisis, pt. II
The Wall Street Journal featured a fine piece of reporting some days ago aptly headlined, “Anatomy of the Morgan Stanley Panic.” It is well worth reading for anyone seeking insight into how the crisis was precipitated, with specific emphasis on...
