Jeffrey Snyder: Can’t blame Covid for this one
Oh what a difference a year makes. In March 2021, Germany planned to reopen after a Covid lockdown, but Covid had other ideas and inflicted another government-reported scourge, changing the chancellor’s plans and crashing the economy. Free now of Covid hits, the Germans have found new ways of destroying their economy. by Jeffrey Snyder on […]
David Haggith: The real GDPig was a whole lot uglier than it looked!
That’s pretty ugly when you consider how ugly GDP looked at a growth rate (adjusted for inflation ) of -1.4%! Then that got kicked in the snout to -1.5%, but that’s not the half of how ugly it really was. What if it really was the first quarter of a covert recession? I am about […]

David Haggith: The retail apocalypse was bloodier than it looked

Doug Casey on What the elites at Davos are really up to
The swarm of out-of-touch, self-anointed elites who celebrate their own thoughts at Davos, Switzerland, each year have finished their annual schmooze about how they would love to reset the world.

Charles Hugh Smith: Livelihoods in a degrowth economy
The sooner we start preparing for degrowth, the better off we’ll be. A Chinese proverb captures this succinctly: By the time you’re thirsty, it’s too late to dig a well.

Michael Snyder: The apocalyptic global food crisis we were told to prepare for has already started in 2022
We have been waiting for the nightmarish global food crisis that so many have warned us about, but we don’t have to wait for it anymore because it is already here.

“I think this recession is going to be worse than the Great Recession that started following the 2008 financial crisis…. Inflation is actually going to be exacerbated by the recession.

David Haggith: Thirteen Major Fails: a quick rundown of our rundown economy
During the Roaring Twenties would anyone have believed you if you told them about the depression and the dust-bowl years that were soon to come? Would they have believed their celebratory excesses during such a “strong economy” could possibly leave them collapsing into the dustbin of history that followed? I don’t think so. If I gauged […]

David Haggith: Are you sure we’re not sinking into recession already? Or has this ship already sunk?
Look to your own churning gut as one of the passengers on this rocking and rolling ship to see if you don’t have that sinking feeling that the 1.4% drop in the economy last quarter was due to the ship you are riding in breaking up from all the storms that have already tossed it […]
