Capitalism Cut Adrift / Politics / Social Issues

By: William_Bowles

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHave we really been brainwashed?

There has been much talk expended over the years on the degree to which the media—and hence culture—is central to maintaining the capitalist system. Leading the charge have been Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman, so much so that they now more resemble sainted objects than social/political analysts, but then this is nothing new for the left, who unfortunately for the most part are happy to let others do the thinking for them.

By: Richard_C_Cook

As the world slides closer daily to what the Shivapuri Baba described as a 6,000-year societal catastrophe, it is certainly curious to observe how those who fancy themselves the rulers of mankind continue to attempt to gather all power, authority, and wealth into their hands.

Why Is The Haiti Disaster Response So Screwed Up: Is The Another Katrina Relief Effort In The Making? / Politics / Social Issues

By: Danny_Schechter

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleEvery disaster plan is built to some degree around the idea of triage—deciding who can and cannot be saved. The worst cases are often separated and allowed to perish so that others who are considered more survivable can be treated.

Haiti Earthquake Survivors Dying as Aid Struggles to Reach Them / Politics / Social Issues

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe distribution of humanitarian supplies to Haiti is being hampered by infrastructure damage, blocked roads and severed communication lines. Reports are that those who survived Tuesday’s massive earthquake are now dying in huge numbers, and clean water, food and medical supplies are desperately needed. Dead bodies lie everywhere on the streets, and the Red Cross says it has run out of body bags. Three million more—one third of Haiti’s population—had been hurt or left homeless.

Social Unrest and Global States of Combustibility 2010 / Politics / Social Issues

By: Mac_Slavo

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Economist says that 2010 could be a year the sparks unrest in the Global Tinderbox: “IF THE world appears to have escaped relatively unscathed by social unrest in 2009, despite suffering the worst recession since the 1930s, it might just prove the lull before the storm. Despite a tentative global recovery, for many people around the world economic and social conditions will continue to deteriorate in 2010. An estimated 60m people worldwide will lose their jobs. Poverty rates will continue to rise, with 200m people at risk of joining the ranks of those living on less than $2 a day. But poverty alone does not spark unrest—exaggerated income inequalities, poor governance, lack of social provision and ethnic tensions are all elements of the brew that foments unrest.“

Democracy the Supreme Object of Adoration as a Global Religion / Politics / Social Issues

By: Robert_Higgs

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleNo institution of modern life commands as much veneration as democracy. It comes closer than anything else to being the supreme object of adoration in a global religion. Anyone who denies its righteousness and desirability soon finds himself a pariah. One may get away with denouncing motherhood and apple pie, but not with speaking ill of democracy, which is now the principal icon of political and social life throughout the world. Many people are atheists, but few are antidemocrats.

A New Era for Humanity Has Begun / Politics / Social Issues

By: Richard_C_Cook

A new era for the human race has clearly begun. When I compare the state of people’s awareness today with what it was just a few years ago, remarkable changes are taking place.

People are finally waking up to the fact that the world of big money, big media, and big business is taking them absolutely nowhere except into degradation, alienation, and slavery.

Ebeneezer Scrooge Hero Not Villain / Politics / Social Issues

By: Butler_Shaffer

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMy interest in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol began one Christmas eve when, as a small child, my parents turned on network radio to listen to what, even then, had become a classic Christmas eve festivity: Lionel Barrymore's presentation of the Dickens story.

Radio was a medium that required the imagination to paint scenes far more colorful, and to concoct monsters far scarier, than anything motion pictures or television have ever been able to present. With radio, the listener was the stage designer, costumer, and location director.

Social Credit and Meta-Feudalism / Politics / Social Issues

By: Christopher_Quigley

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article“Douglas said that we are trying to pass from one type of civilization into another in which the possibilities are such that we cannot imagine.”

“The King is dead long live the King” so goes the feudal aristocratic mantra establishing power continuity. Death and birth are a part of reality and amidst the pain of death the love of life must prevail. Currently many say that American society is dying but in fact it is experiencing a transformation.

Throwing Our Energy at Impossible Dreams / Politics / Social Issues

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleP.F. Henshaw writes: In the haystack of contentious arguments at Copenhagen it seems only the occasional unofficial commentary pointed to the real solvable source of our monumental collision with the limits of the earth. Somehow in the process of growing ever bigger, mankind got "big", and continuing to grow still bigger is optional. Yes, it sort of "happened naturally", and is also natural for us to be a bit confused about the whole turn of events it precipitates, but it is still also definitely our own choice to be doing it too, and we're simply hiding from the problem it creates on the whole.

Show Me the Money / Politics / Social Issues

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWe have been conditioned from birth to believe that everything wrong in our society is about Greed: The inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.

However, my research concludes the earth’s environmental damage and pollution was not the result of greed and the unintended consequences of our capitalistic consumer society, but was the goal.

The Ayn Rand Cult / Politics / Social Issues

By: Murray_N_Rothbard

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn the America of the 1970s we are all too familiar with the religious cult, which has been proliferating in the last decade. Characteristic of the cult (from Hare Krishna to the "Moonies" to EST to Scientology to the Manson Family) is the dominance of the guru, or Maximum Leader, who is also the creator and ultimate interpreter of a given creed to which the acolyte must be unswervingly loyal. The major if not the only qualification for membership and advancement in the cult is absolute loyalty to and adoration of the guru, and absolute and unquestioning obedience to his commands.
