 | Economist Bjorn Lomborg: Global warming is not a priority http://www.ted.com Economist Bjorn Lomborg makes a persuasive case for prioritizing the world's biggest problems, asking "If we had $50 billion to spend over the next four years to do good in the world, where should we spend it?" His recommendations - based on the findings of the 2004 Copenhagen Consensus - controversially place global warming at the bottom of the list (and AIDS prevention at the top). Lomborg was named one of the 100 Most Influential People by Time magazine after the publication of his controversial book, The Skeptical Environmentalist which challenged widely-held beliefs that the environment is getting worse. Now the Danish economist is taking on the world's biggest problems with his Copenhagen Consensus. (Recorded February 2005 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 17:27) |
 | Principles of economics, translated "Mankiw's 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated", by Yoram Bauman, http://www.standupeconomist.com . Presented at the AAAS humor session, February 16, 2007. For the record, the talk contains two unattributed quotes ("9 out of 5" is adapted from a line attributed to Paul Samuelson---although apparently he said it about Wall Street indices, not macroeconomists---and "wrong about things" is paraphrased from P.J. O'Rourke's Eat the Rich) and, of course, the Einstein "simple" quote is an intentional misquote. The talk is based on a published article in Annals of Improbable Research (see http://www.improb.com/airchives/paperair/volume9/v9i2/mankiw.html ), which sponsored my talk and to which you should subscribe (http://improb.com/subscribe/ ). In the paper you can see the "constructive example" of how trade can make everyone worse off (or you can just wait 50 years to see what happens with climate change).

"Being ahead of the masses in your observations of economic trends is no way to win a popularity contest. If you're 30 days ahead of the masses, you're considered a genius; but if you're two years ahead, you're considered insane. It makes me wonder about the experiences of historical geniuses like Nikola Tesla, since they were at least a hundred years ahead in their understanding of science." -Mike Adams Please explore these articles: FDIC Girds For Bank Failures & The FDIC Will Seek to Rehire 25 of It's Own Retired Members, Many of Whom Specialized in Bank Closings. http://www.thestreet.com/print/story/10405078.html http://www.investmentnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080226/REG/802566081 Wall Street Bank Run http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/20/AR2008022002270.html US Properties Plunge Into Negative Equity Than At Any Time Since The Great Depression Of The 30's http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/feb/24/useconomy.property U.S. Credit Markets Collapsing! http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/ECONOMY?SITE=RIPAW&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT America's Economy Risks the Mother of All Meltdowns http://news.yahoo.com/s/ft/20080219/bs_ft/fto021920081334359078;_ylt=AozoX8V3CwKFRV6c_RfR1f0E1vAI U.S. Mortgage Crisis Spreads Past Subprime Loans! http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/12/business/12credit.php Dozens of U.S. Banks Will Fail by 2010 http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/business/story.html?id=db0041ae-fa25-43a2-b472-f8fbb851a367&k=53982 Wealthy Investor Jim Rogers Warns About Economy, 'It's Going To Be Much Worse' http://money.cnn.com/2008/01/30/news/international/okeefe_rogers.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008013103 Crisis may make 1929 look a 'walk in the park' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/12/23/cccrisis123.xml World Economic Situation Serious - IMF http://news.smh.com.au/world-economic-situation-serious--imf/20080122-1nb5.html Full global impact phase of the Very Great US Depression http://www.leap2020.eu/GEAB-N-21-is-available!-2008-Full-global-impact-phase-of-the-Very-Great-US-Depression_a1195.html?PHPSESSID=19b48b7e8afe63571c0428c0d77c311e "If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too." -Somerset Maugham Derivatives the new 'ticking bomb' http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/derivatives-new-ticking-time-bomb/story.aspx?guid=%7bB9E54A5D-4796-4D0D-AC9E-D9124B59D436%7d&print=true&dist=printTop |
