Welcome
Much has happened since publishing New Currency earlier this year. It’s been an uneven and tenuous financial recovery to say the least. Stock markets have rebounded to surprising heights, unemployment in the US has surged past 10% and there is a resurgence of talk about the dangers of a double dip recession. Perhaps, the most encouraging aspect of the crisis is the growing interest and awareness on Main Street about the future of our national economies and (un)sustainability of our current trajectories. Great concern has emerged over the future of the dollar, the increasing debt burden we’re leaving future generations, and questions about what to do with ever-increasing government spending.
This is a place where we will try to make sense of all of this. Naturally, we will be exploring the economy through the lens of New Currency. If you haven’t read the book and intend to follow this blog, I’d highly recommend that you do so. We’ll be applying innovative economic tools to our current financial and global problems, and as I argue in the book, these tools sometimes can only be properly understood by taking a leap into a new economic paradigm or mindset. This blog is an attempt to make this thinking even more solid, but the book remains an essential foundation.
Please email or post your questions and comments as they come up. I’ll do my best to weave answers into posts.
