Inflation and the Fallacy of Price Gouging and Corporate Greed

Question: Can you actually prove there was “no widespread corporate price gouging”? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around like, Kellogg’s, grocery prices quadrupling in some cases. Overview There wasn’t widespread corporate price gouging, which is illegal and has been prosecuted in isolated cases, mainly among small companies. Price rises primarily stemmed from supply and […]

Economic Outlook 2025 – 2035

During the first Trump administration, tax cuts initially accelerated economic growth but led to increased federal deficit spending, which soon drove up borrowing costs and ultimately slowed the economy. While many attributed the initial supply chain issues and inflationary pressures primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first inflationary event was actually sparked by climate change—the […]

Political Insight: The Reverse Psychology of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”

I’ve studied what’s often labeled “Trump Derangement Syndrome” since the 1990s, and I believe the root causes include issues like racism and elements of white supremacy. Supporting someone with such views inevitably supports these ideologies, even indirectly. Some of Trump’s base might not identify as white supremacists but are drawn in due to lack of […]

The Trump Trade

Why have interest rates been going up after the Fed cut rates? Because investors concur that Trump’s economic polices will be harmful to the economy, drive up inflation, and explode the national debt.

Political Overview of Economics

The latest economic analysis of the presidential candidates suggests that Trump’s fiscal policies could increase the federal deficit by an estimated $7-10 trillion over the next decade, primarily due to his proposed tax cuts and spending plans.

South Korea: Climate Law Fails to Protect Basic Rights

South Korea’s top court ruled in August of 2024 that the country’s climate change law does not adequately protect basic human rights and lacks sufficient targets to safeguard future generations.

Election 2024: The Decline of Economic Sensibility

I began writing this after listening to Harris’ recent speeches — first on drug prices and then on the broader economic policy of her campaign. My concerns arise from a general disappointment with the direction of the campaign’s economic strategy. Unfortunately, the “deal to cut Medicare prices on popular drugs” is misleading. The claim of […]

The Politics of Climate Change

By Daniel Brouse As a climate scientist, I have studied the impact of politics on the climate for decades, and the United States ranks among the least prepared countries globally. It also has one of the highest percentages of climate change deniers. Politicians exacerbate this issue by obstructing necessary efforts to combat climate change. The […]
