Have you moved a material percentage of your financial portfolio to cash? Have you become so concerned about the meteoric ramp upwards in asset prices that you find it wiser instead to move to the sidelines, build “dry powder”, and wait to re-enter the markets at saner valuations?

When most people imagine various survival scenarios that they could find themselves in, many of those scenarios include isolation. That’s not surprising, considering that many of the survival stories we hear about in the media, involve people who escaped the hazards of the wilderness all by themselves.

But when people consider prepping for those scenarios, they usually don’t think about some of the difficulties that come with surviving by yourself. I’m not talking about the difficulties that are associated with pulling off challenging tasks without the help of a friend. I’m … Continue reading

“We don’t see the situation in our region as a winning or losing battle. It’s a situation where the initial U.S. invasion of Iraq has led everybody to lose. Because we believe that the situation in today’s world is so interconnected that we cannot have winners and losers; we either win together or lose together,” Zarif told The National Interest. Zarif also said thatShias, Sunnis and Kurds are all important segment of Iraqi society with whom Iran needs to have relations. “Iran has rushed to the aid of the Iraqis, not just the Shias, but everybody.

This is one fantastic look behind the economic curtains. Rothbard obviously spent a great effort diving into the facts (supported by pages of thoughtful stats, not just numbers)to try to break down the “history” of financial calamities that scarred our nation.

Rothbard investigates the American Revolution and the start of the first national bank, the explosion of debt after the Civil War and also the growth of deficits after FDR’s presidential changes to society.
