Worried about the national debt? You should be but that isn't the fundamental problem. The debt is only a symptom of a much larger problem. I touched on the fundamental problems in earlier posts

Egyptian Chaos – A Harbinger?

Grandpa Oddball — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:39:28 +0000

Egypt, a cradle of civilization with a rich and storied intellectual and cultural heritage, is in convulsion. A civilization once so successful and powerful that it has endured through eons has been reduced by, well we'll explore how later, has been reduced to a poverty stricken subsistence filled with turmoil, intrigue, intolerance, and envy but while predicting the immediate outcome of the current maelstrom is dicey at best the ultimate result is obvious.

rage raGE UNCONTROLLABLE RAGE

Grandpa Oddball — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:48:40 +0000

Blind irrational overwhelming unreasoning rage striking without warning. Sometimes amusing in a perverse sort of way but often causing not just havoc but, on occasion, death. Unfortunately plagues of anger and violence continue spreading unchecked across the globe creating an epidemic of unprecedented proportions.

I'm not talking about outrage or legitimate anger. I'm talking about some serious contagions gradually infecting all the world's various cultures be they religious, political, economic or even philosophical in nature.

Dominance Economics

Grandpa Oddball — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:28:04 +0000

Whew! Unemployment, stock market crashes, collapsing housing markets, inflation and mounting national debt, financial bubbles, it's just one economic crisis after another. What happened and more importantly how will it end?

The world is far more complex than economists realize as evidenced by recent economic crises. In analyzing our current economic system I discovered a radical economic principle which I call the principle of dominance. Surprisingly the analytic analysis strongly supports many of the tenets of the Austrian School of Economics.

This book is an introduction to the principle of dominance as applied to trades, markets, economics in general and various other conditions affected by the principle. Understanding the Principle of Dominance is a necessary first step in correcting the abuses inherent in the current economic system.
