Washington Replacing Wall Street as the City that Drives America? / Economics / Economic Stimulus
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: Washington replacing New York – and more specifically, Wall Street – as the city that drives America?
The question, raised in a new Reuters piece , is certainly a good one – and a fair one.

Peter Schiff, WSJ and Countries Must Un-peg Before They Decouple / Economics / Recession 2008 - 2010
By: Chris_Galakoutis
The Wall Street Journal ran a piece today titled: “Right Forecast by Schiff, Wrong Plan?”
Peter Schiff is the president of the Darien, Connecticut broker-dealer firm, Euro Pacific Capital Inc., which specializes in investments in foreign dividend paying stocks. He has come under some criticism recently concerning the performance in 2008 of foreign stocks tied to his investment strategies – namely, that the U.S dollar would weaken significantly and that foreign economies and stocks would outperform those in the U.S.

Gold and Silver Lifeboats for Sinking Titanic U.S. Economy / Economics / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
A lifetime is not long. It is long enough, however, to lead one to believe that life is far different than it really is.
My uncle, Bobby Schoon, grew up during the Great Depression. Born in the 1920s, the 1930s were to be far different than the previous decade. My uncle came of age when the US led the world into an economic abyss where human desperation and misery were to become commonplace, an abyss that is now about to be revisited.

Protectionism and the Global Banking System Technical Insolvency / Economics / Credit Crisis 2009
By: John_Mauldin
This week I bring you two different articles as an offering for Outside the Box. As a way to introduce the first, let me give you the quote from Merrill Lynch economist David Rosenberg about the rising threat of global trade protectionism:
"The Financial Times weighs in on the rising threat of global trade protectionism in today's Lex Column on page 14 ("Economic Patriotism"). The FT points out that the stimulus packages of many countries include "buy local" provisions. At home, there is a proposed inclusion of a 'Buy American' provision in the economic recovery package and this could set off trade retaliation from importers of US goods. Here is what the FT had to say, 'It was trade protectionism that made the 1930s Depression "Great". Congress would do well to understand that it is in everyone's interest to keep trade open today.'"
