Taplin’s Blog-December 25,2007
“So where does the aforementioned dread come from? It comes from a sense of profound economic peril. We have lived as a country off the rich inheritance of past generations and now the party may be coming to a close.”

Prof. Nouriel Roubini-10/9/08
“A housing bubble, a mortgage bubble, an equity bubble, a bond bubble, a credit bubble, a commodity bubble, a private equity bubble, a hedge funds bubble are all now bursting at once in the biggest real sector and financial sector deleveraging since the Great Depression.”

The Neoconservative Gospel
The twin poles of the Neoconservative philosophy first elucidated by Irving Kristol in The Public Interest in 1965: In domestic affairs the
national government should shrink (by cutting taxes and business regulations)
In foreign affairs the government should grow (by becoming the world’s sole military superpower).

Creative Destruction
“Schumpeter’s signature legacy is his insight that innovation in the form of creative destruction is the driving force not only of capitalism but of material progress in general. Almost all businesses, no matter how strong they seem to be at a given moment, ultimately fail and almost always because they failed to innovate.”
Joseph Schumpeter

Capitalism’s Crisis
“It can no longer be assumed that welfare is greater at an all-around higher level of production than at a lower one. The higher level of production has, merely, a higher level of want creation necessitating a higher level of want satisfaction.”-J.K Galbraith, The Affluent Society
