GOLDBUG: Gene Epstein on Gold, the Fed, and Money

Gene Epstein on Gold, the Fed, and Money
June 02, 2008, Featuring Gene Epstein
Gene Epstein, Barron’s economics editor, talks to EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the virtues of the gold standard relative to fiat money. Epstein argues that privately issued money, backed by gold, would lead to an economy with much greater price stability and fewer and milder recessions.
# – # – #
Casualties under a gold standard:
* Federal Spending (“Teenager model”)
* Spending upon dubious things
* “Deficits don’t matter” “Guns and Butter both”
* Monetize the debt; index to inflation
* Unfunded liabilities
* Gooferment can fight wars
* Gooferment can make promises
* Foreign entities buy Federal debt giving them a lever politically
* Banks protected by Gooferment; a cartel

McBookaire: It’s BACKSPACE; not DELETE
Sunday, June 8, 2008Now maybe it’s picky. And maybe I’m just dense. But the McBa’s keyboard is mislabeled one key.
It’s <backspace>; not <delete>!!!
It reallly throws me off.
Maybe there’s a way to redefine it? Maybe I just don’t understand. Maybe it’s trivial to you.
It’s annoying to me!
# # # # #
Update: Yes, I figured out that Fn + Delete is ‘forward delete’. Thanks, Google. Argh!

INTERESTING: the benefits of failure
Saturday, June 7, 2008http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91232541
The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination
by J.K. Rowling
***Begin Quote***
Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.
You see? If all you remember in years to come is the ‘gay wizard’ joke, I’ve still come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock. Achievable goals: the first step towards personal improvement.
Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today. I have asked myself what I wish I had known at my own graduation, and what important lessons I have learned in the 21 years that has expired between that day and this.
I have come up with two answers. On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure. And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes called ‘real life’, I want to extol the crucial importance of imagination.

INTERESTING: Keep a one-sentence journal
Friday, June 6, 2008http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2008/06/your-happiness.html
YOUR Happiness Project: Keep a one-sentence journal.
***Begin Quote***
I’m working on my Happiness Project, and you should have one, too! Everyone’s project will look different, but it’s the rare person who can’t benefit. Join in — no need to catch up, just jump in right now. Each Friday’s post will help you think about your own happiness project.
Yesterday was the Little Girl’s last day in the “Purple Room,” which is what her nursery school calls the class for the school’s youngest children. She only went twice a week, for less than three hours, but the Purple Room was a very big part of her life.
There’s something so inexpressibly sweet about this age and this first experience of school. I’m having an emotion that I can only describe as preemptive nostalgia for this time. Her last morning there was yesterday, but already, I feel deeply sentimental about it.
The days are long, but the years are short.
For that reason, I’m so happy that I started keeping my one-sentence journal; otherwise I would worry that I wouldn’t remember any of the details about this time – the teeny tiny sinks, the coat hooks in the hallway marked with the children’s photos, the play kitchen and the board books.
