InformationLiberationMar 26
The basic idea of free trade -- that two people trading with each other do not benefit from a third party intervening with taxation -- is certainly solid in theory, but in the real world with competing nation states how does it work in practice?

Since witnessing Europe's collective suicide through mass immigration, many of us have changed our views entirely on open borders. If one is essentially against the free exchan... (more)

Marc Faber: 'I Will Vote For Trump, Because Hillary Will Destroy The Whole World'
Zero HedgeMar 19
Whenever Marc Faber appears in the financial media, in this case Bloomberg TV, one can expect the usual fire and brimstone sermon of how micromanagement of the global economy by central bankers will lead to disastrous results, something which we agree with wholeheartedly and as of two months ago, so did virtually every billionaire at Davos. Recall that just at the end of January, the WSJ when reporting from Davos said that "The world's central banks can't save us anymore. That was the messag... (more)
