Räntan, John Maynard Keynes, Knut Wicksell och Greenspan

En inflytelserik representant för detta döda skribenters sällskap är Lundaprofessorn Knut Wicksell (1851–1926) som numera räknas som Sveriges genom tiderna främste

”Negativ ränta strider mot den mänskliga naturen”, sa Alan Greenspan i en tidningsintervju sommaren 2015. 

Enligt Greenspan kommer människor alltid att sätta större värde på pengar de har i handen nu än på pengar de kommer att få i handen någon gång i framtiden.

”Minusräntor kan inte fortsätta att finnas länge”, sa Greenspan 

 ”Vi räknar inte med 75 procents eller 0,5 procents ränta. Vi räknar med mellan 5 och 6 procent. Det är det normala, om vi går tillbaka i historien. Det betyder i grund och botten att negativa räntor inte stämmer överens med människans natur.”

Sveriges nästan åtta år långa period med en ränta på eller under nollstrecket lider mot sitt slut, enligt riksbankschefen Stefan Ingves och hans kolleger i Riksbankens direktion.

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

Cognitive blind spots

Bild
Cognitive blind spots are undermining our ability to see the world as it is, rather than as we would like it to be. At the start of the 21st century, western elites generally assumed that globalisation, democracy and the free market were self-evidently good, and would keep spreading, creating peace. N o longer.  FIS, Swiss Federal Intelligence Service, has published a manual about cognitive blind spots. 18 different cognitive biases that hamper our thinking, such as “group think” (adhering to the cosy assumptions of our tribe), “anchoring” (relying exclusively on whatever information we see first, say on social media),  “confirmation bias” (only seeing data that reinforces pre-existing views),  “mirror imaging” (assuming others think like us),  “absence of evidence” bias (failing to think about the data we lack)  and “survivorship bias” (judging data only with success stories, not failures).
