Last Updated: Oct 22nd, 2010 - 15:35:08 Newsletters : 2010 Newsletters : 1 April 2010 Thought for the Day The story that has come across my screen in the last few days is so important that I am publishing this newsletter now instead of next week. We set out to improve the New Zealand economy so that our children and their children could live useful and comfortable lives. To understand why New Zealand was steadily dropping down the world wide wealth tables we needed to learn about economics. This led to our discovery of the Austrian economists and REAL Economics. From this I could see that most economic theory rests on a very shallow base and has no scientific underpinning whatsoever. Economists had confused ideas about price and no understanding of value. The world seemed confused about money. So we researched some more and discovered REAL Money - gold and silver. We then discovered that gold and silver markets were being manipulated and the reason for this was to keep the value of the US dollar up - the so called "strong dollar" policy. You may have puzzled over George Soro's claim recently that gold is the ultimate bubble. We are about to see why he thinks this. The United States leaders can control the thinking of the western world but they have upset the Chinese. They cannot control the Chinese and what the Chinese leaders think.

I wonder if this coloured their attitudes towards economics. This article was sent to me by one of our members and gives a great insight into the thinking of one of the most well known economists of last century. From our advanced perch in the 21st Century it is interesting to see how strange their thinking really was.

Paul Craig Roberts was an editor of the Wall Street Journal and an Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury. He should know what he is talking about! The rest of us have the same problem. That's the trouble with truth. It will out.

And certainly what they predicted was so far from what actually happened it seemed clear that they were not particularly useful. One group of people outside the Mises Institute in America who understand the basics of REAL Economics are some REAL Investment advisers. You see, if they can understand what is REALLY happening then they have a better chance of predicting what will happen next. I have found their predictions to be "right on the money". This is not an investment advisory newsletter but if we are to understand economics in the REAL world these guys are worth studying. Kris demonstrates the stupidities of senior economists on as they pontificate on the world stage. This is more fun than dry economic texts!
