I don't care very much for the People Magazine approach to applied economics.

What counts is results, and there can be no doubt that the Soviet planning system has been a powerful engine for economic growth...The Soviet model has surely demonstrated that a command economy is capable of mobilizing resources for rapid growth.

Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support.

The debate can be put in the form of the question: Resolved, that the best of money managers cannot be demonstrated to be able to deliver the goods of superior portfolio-selection performance. Any jury that reviews the evidence, and there is a great deal of relevant evidence, must at least come out with the Scottish verdict: Superior investment performance is unproved.

A growing nation is the greatest ponzi game ever contrived.

Contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, the Soviet economy is proof that a socialist command economy can function and even thrive.

It isn't that greed's increased. What's increased is the realization that you've got a free field to reach out for what you'd like to do.
