Jeffery Sachs Part of the Corrupt Power Structure
Posted in Corrupt Economists, tagged Jeffery, Milton Friedman, Sacks on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Columbia’s Fictional Bio Jeffery Sachs’ Columbia webpage is effusive with accomplishments, committees he sits on, and presents him as both a genius and an all around great guy. What is missing from from his resume is his work with Russia during the 1990s when he was one of the architects of Russia’s economic collapse, along [...]

Money Trail We have written a number of times about how the Hoover Institute is a fake research institute which writes ridiculously pro-business papers and is directed by Stanford University. However, when we saw its relationship to Stanford in terms of its funding, we viewed Hoover in a new light. This topic was brought up [...]

Stanford Lowers Itself by Having the Hoover Institute
Posted in Corrupt Economists, Deliberately False Financial Information, Economic Regulation, Misleading Financial Institutions, tagged Milton Friedman, Stanford, Hoover Institute, Donald Rumsfeld, Enron, SEC, Slavery on February 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »
The Hoover Institute has little to do with serious scholarship, and more to do with neo-con and ultraconservative ideology. Their research is clearly doctrinal and people with independent minds interested in real economics would be good to ignore the Institute’s ‘findings.” Real economists do perform research for them, but when they do, it is to [...]
American Media: Megaphone for the Ultra Wealthy

In Praise of a Rocky TransitionBy Naomi Klein – November 13th, 2008In a moment of high panic in late September, the US Treasury unilaterally pushed through a radical change in how bank mergers are taxed–a change long sought by the industry.

Abstract: Kevin Philips new book, as well as work by the CEPR on the Social Security scare have shed light on an important topic, which is the government statistics on inflation. What is very interesting is the actual inflation rate vs. the real inflation rate. The interested parties in understating the inflation rate are not [...]
