By: David_Knox_Barker

Debt, overcapacity, and their impact on market prices are the key long wave winter season trends that have yet to run their course. The world now faces the final years of this long wave decline and winter season that will deliver global economic and financial upheaval until 2012.

Blaming the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis on Malevolent Speculators / Politics / Global Debt Crisis

By: MISES

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMalte Tobias Kahler writes: Many commentators (the majority of whom are not economists) blame the imminent crisis in the eurozone on malevolent speculators. I find it necessary to take up the cudgels on the traders' behalf and explain why they are not culpable for the current mess.

Humiliation and Shame, Part of Being Health Insured in America / Politics / Social Issues

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDonna Smith writes: Oh, the things we did not fix in the healthcare bill are shocking. Just as seniors falling into the Medicare drug benefit donut hole begin to get the $250 checks meant to calm their fears about our new healthcare legislation, the rest of us would do well to remember the abuses of the for-profit healthcare system that will continue and even accelerate in the coming years.

Nurses are Right about the Problem, but Wrong about the Solution / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Mike_Stathis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLast week, more than 14,000 nurses from Minnesota hospitals staged a 1-day walk-out as a sign of protest over excessive patient loads.   

The nurses are right about staffing shortages and overloaded responsibilities.

However, their solution – hiring more nurses will add further costs pressures to America’s unsustainable healthcare bubble.

Busted Governments, Pensions and Unions / Politics / US Politics

By: Gary_North

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWe are seeing the end of an era. The trade union movement in the United States has declined for the last 30 years. It is now in its final stages. The only area of the economy in which unions still have any degree of clout is in government. The union movement barely functions outside of government employment. Today, as states and municipalities face massive deficits, the union movement is threatened with destruction.

The Kyrgyzstan Crisis and the Russian Dilemma / Politics / GeoPolitics

By: STRATFOR

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePeter Zeihan writes: STRATFOR often discusses how Russia is on a bit of a roll. The U.S. distraction in the Middle East has offered Russia a golden opportunity to re-establish its spheres of influence in the region, steadily expanding the Russian zone of control into a shape that is eerily reminiscent of the old Soviet Union. Since 2005, when this process began, Russia has clearly reasserted itself as the dominant power in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine, and has intimidated places like Georgia and Turkmenistan into a sort of silent acquiescence.

The Criminal Legacy of Alan Greenspan / Politics / Central Banks

By: LewRockwell

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRyan McMaken writes: For those of us who were mere economics undergraduates in the 1990's, Alan Greenspan was rather like a god. Admittedly, the vision of Greenspan handed down to the undergrads by the faculty wasn't one of vulgar hero-worship. Greenspan's mumblings and evasions were, after all, treated with bemusement by the faculty. But, there was the feeling that Greenspan, for all his lack of clarity, seemed to understand things that the rest of humanity didn't understand, and there was indeed faith in the idea that he must possess almost supernatural powers in fine-tuning the economy to ensure economic prosperity indefinitely.

Authoritarianism is Bad for Your Health / Politics / US Politics

By: Dr_Ron_Paul

The administration's terrible healthcare reform bill is now law, but the debate over how-- and whether-- the federal government should be involved in providing healthcare services is not over.  It is not too late for America to correct its course and stop the march toward a government run, "single payer" healthcare system.

Global Financial Crisis Could Lead to World War III / Politics / GeoPolitics
