This document provides a lengthy discussion and critique of economics as a field. It argues that economics lacks testable hypotheses and relies too heavily on rhetoric rather than empirical evidence. It discusses how economic theories often do not align with or explain historical economic phenomena. It also critiques various influential economic thinkers and schools of thought like the Physiocrats. The document advocates for an approach to economics and investing based on identifying patterns and tendencies in market behavior rather than relying on economic models and theories. It describes the "Modal Geometry of the Firm" theory as an approach that has proven successful at identifying stock price tendencies.
This document discusses the historical ideology of separate spheres that divided life into the domestic family sphere and the male-dominated marketplace sphere in the 19th century. It explores how this ideology influenced views of appropriate behaviors for men and women, with men expected to act self-interestedly in the competitive marketplace while women focused on the non-competitive family sphere. The document argues this separate spheres ideology still subtly influences views of appropriate behaviors in the securities marketplace and courts' interpretations of insider trading laws.
John Jacob Astor was born in Germany in 1763 and immigrated to America in 1783. He founded the American Fur Company in 1808 and built a trading post called Astoria in 1811. After selling Astoria after the War of 1812, he became the richest man in the world in 1847 with $78 billion. While he was highly ambitious and intelligent, he abused workers and made no notable social contributions. His career shows that one can be successful without virtues, as he will be remembered as unethical and ruthless.
This document provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of greed throughout history. It discusses how greed fosters fear, self-doubt and inaction in societies. Greed prioritizes the wants and needs of producers over consumers, slowing the economy. While greed has long been tolerated, the document argues it is time for legislative action to curb its excesses and promote economic justice for all. It examines how greed has manifested throughout civilizations from Rome to the modern United States. The analysis draws on literature from Horace to argue that moderation, not excess or wastefulness, is the ideal approach.

The document discusses the history of ancient Egypt from the decline of the Old Kingdom due to a lack of central rule and famine, to the Middle Kingdom led by Mentuhotep II that reunited Egypt, to the New Kingdom being the height of Egypt's power through conquests and trade under rulers like Hatshepsut and Ramses II who fought off invaders like the Hyksos and Hittites, though Egypt was eventually weakened.

This document provides an overview of the economic theory of mercantilism. Some key points:
- Mercantilism held that a nation's strength depended on its wealth, which was measured by gold and silver reserves. It aimed to increase these reserves through trade surpluses.
- Mercantilism developed between the 16th-18th centuries in Western Europe as the nation state rose and feudalism declined. It was influenced by changes in technology, the Black Death pandemic, and influxes of New World gold and silver.
- Major tenets included using economic policy as a way to increase state power, promoting domestic production and exports over imports, and obtaining trade surpluses to bring gold
The document summarizes the long history of opposition to usury (lending money at interest) from ancient philosophers through the Middle Ages. It describes how charging interest was condemned by thinkers like Aristotle and early Christian leaders. Up until the late Middle Ages, it was forbidden for Christians to charge interest on loans. The document then discusses how the establishment of central banking systems like the Bank of England in 1694 allowed private banks to create money and charge interest, greatly increasing national debts over time and concentrating wealth in the hands of bankers like the Rothschild family.
The document discusses the history of banking and perspectives on usury (charging interest) from various religions. It notes that in the past, the Church prohibited usury as a grave sin. Over time, money-lenders began issuing notes backed by gold deposits but created much more in notes than they held in reserves, establishing the basis of modern banking. Religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam generally prohibit usury. The document criticizes the current banking system for creating money from nothing and argues for a more socially responsible financial system.
The document discusses the political, economic, and social systems in Europe prior to the Enlightenment period, known as the Ancien Régime. Under the Ancien Régime, most European kingdoms were absolute monarchies where the king had divine right to rule. Society was divided into estates and the economy was based on subsistence farming and colonial trade. The Enlightenment challenged the ideas and institutions of the Ancien Régime through philosophers who advocated for reason, tolerance, and natural rights. Some monarchs adopted Enlightenment ideals through reforms while maintaining absolute power. Inspired by Enlightenment thinking, the American colonies declared independence from Britain and established a democratic republic with a constitution protecting individual liberties
Capitalism
Pre capitalist
Mercantilism is economic nationalism for the purpose of building a wealthy and powerful state. Adam Smith coined the term “mercantile system” to describe the system of political economy that sought to enrich the country by restraining imports and encouraging exports. (Library of economics and liberty)
The goal of these policies was, supposedly, to achieve a “favourable” balance of trade that would bring gold and silver into the country and also to maintain domestic employment
the mercantile system served the interests of merchants and producers such as the British East India Company, whose activities were protected or encouraged by the state.
The most important economic rationale for mercantilism in the sixteenth century was the consolidation of the regional power centres of the feudal era by large, competitive nation-states.
Enclosure Acts (1604 – 1914)– land publicly used for grazing , crops became the property of landlords – who then increased rent – pushing people toward the cities to earn a living
Other contributing factors were the establishment of colonies outside Europe;
the growth of European commerce and industry relative to agriculture;
the increase in the volume and breadth of trade; and the increase in the use of metallic monetary systems, particularly gold and silver, relative to barter transactions.
Growth of empire building (and military)
During the mercantilist period, military conflict between nation-states was both more frequent and more extensive than at any other time in history. The armies and navies of the main protagonists were no longer temporary forces raised to address a specific threat or objective, but were full-time professional forces.
Each government’s primary economic objective was to command a sufficient quantity of hard currency to support a military that would deter attacks by other countries and aid its own territorial expansion.
In exchange for paying levies and taxes to support the armies of the nation-states, the mercantile classes induced governments to enact policies that would protect their business interests against foreign competition.
For example; In France, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the minister of finance under Louis XIV from 1661 to 1683, increased port duties on foreign vessels entering French ports and provided bounties to French shipbuilders.
In Britain - the Navigation Act of 1651 prohibited foreign vessels from engaging in coastal trade in England and required that all goods imported from the continent of Europe be carried on either an English vessel or a vessel registered in the country of origin of the goods. Finally, all trade between England and its colonies had to be carried in either English or colonial vessels

This document provides biographical information about three influential economists: Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. It summarizes their key ideas and contributions to economic thought. Adam Smith developed the concept of the invisible hand and argued that free markets and division of labor could increase prosperity. Karl Marx critiqued capitalism and predicted its inevitable replacement by socialism and communism. John Maynard Keynes argued that government intervention was needed to stimulate economies during downturns like the Great Depression. All three thinkers significantly shaped modern economic theory and policy.
Popular pressure or economic reality what was the reason for the abolition of...Emily Lees-Fitzgibbon
The document discusses the reasons for the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. It presents two opposing views: 1) popular pressure and moral arguments led by figures like William Wilberforce were responsible, and 2) economic factors, as argued by Eric Williams, were the main driver as slavery became unprofitable within a capitalist system. While Wilberforce and the abolition movement helped pass abolition acts, slavery continued economically. A shift to industrial capitalism made slavery incompatible, though Williams overstated declining profits. Both moral and economic reasons likely contributed to abolition.
History of money used for talks at Bhaubali College of Engg., ShravanabealgolaNatekar's World
A talk was presented about "History of Money" at Bahubali College of Engg., Shravanabelagola. The presentation is development of money and its politics.
The document summarizes Adam Smith's theory of economic development and the influence of his ideas. Smith argued that economies will grow when the government establishes property rights, promotes free trade, and practices laissez-faire policies. He believed individuals pursuing self-interest would indirectly promote general prosperity through increased productivity, division of labor, investment, and trade. While influential, some historians challenge Smith's assessment that China's government policies held back its economy compared to Europe.

This document provides an overview and analysis of imperialism. It discusses how imperialism has shaped world history over the past few centuries through the colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples. While imperialism has had massive impacts, it is often ignored or sanitized in mainstream discourse. The document examines the economic drivers of capitalist imperialism, how it has exploited the land, labor and resources of the global south for profit. It also debunks common myths used to justify imperialism, such as the notion that colonized regions were inherently poor or culturally backward.

Verne Atrill encounters an economist visiting an old hardware store known for its reliable advice. The economist recognizes Atrill from his controversial views in economics. The document then summarizes Atrill's unconventional economic theories which focus on understanding the real business processes and behaviors of firms, rather than assumptions. It introduces the concept of "modal geometry" and its two assumptions for understanding the balance sheet and negotiations of a firm.
1) Real estate bubbles occur regularly about every 20 years when excess liquidity and speculation drives up property values beyond what rental income can support.
2) Bubbles are difficult to identify as they occur but show signs like supply growing faster than demand, capital values rising much more than income, and speculation and "crowd think" driving the market.
3) Once bubbles burst, the aftermath can be painful as property values, incomes, and demand fall sharply which then takes over a decade to recover from. Human nature and short memories mean bubbles continue recurring.
Prior to the revolution, France was one of the most powerful countries in Europe but faced a major financial crisis due to decades of war and the lavish spending of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Growing discontent among the common people and the influence of Enlightenment ideas led to calls for political and economic reforms. In 1789, the storming of the Bastille fortress by angry peasants marked the start of the French Revolution, ushering in a new era of government in France.
- Ancient slavery varied in different societies but generally slaves had no rights, could not marry or attain citizenship, and were completely under the power of their master.
- Manumission, the freeing of slaves, was rare in places like Athens but more common in Rome where it was sometimes used strategically to create networks of patrons and clients.
- Usury, lending money at interest, was considered an "unnatural" and hated form of wealth acquisition by Aristotle and was forbidden by the medieval church. Aristotle saw money as a means of facilitating exchange, not a commodity.

This document provides a 3-page summary of the investment strategies and philosophies of StockTakers Limited, an Alberta corporation that provides information on "likeable" equities. Some of the key points include:
- StockTakers identifies "likeable" equities as those that trade above their proprietary "Risk Price" metric and tend to rise due to investor preference.
- They argue conventional investment advisors and the financial industry as a whole do not adequately manage risk or provide returns above inflation.
- StockTakers proves their approach works through public portfolios that demonstrate risk aversion, strong returns, liquidity, and other benefits over the long-term, especially during recessions.
- Their strategy
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
