I disagree with the author as well. "During an economic crisis, what is required is for the government and the central bank to do as little as possible." Then you have too many that horde the wealth while those in need suffer.

Great read, very interesting.

I agree. When push comes to shove, we need China for cheap products and labor more than they need us. Any American products they want, they can simply copy. And yes, while many Chinese factories cut corners to save on costs, they can produce products of the highest quality when they want to. I suspect planes will fall into the latter category.

Well done.

Unfortunately, France is going down the tubes. Yellow jackets are tearing up the place, the economy is collapsing, and nobody wants to work because of all the free handouts. The few that do have no incentive to do well since it's impossible to get fired. I have nothing against the French (heck, my sister married a French guy). This is just the way it is over there.

Thanks Lorimer, good stuff. Which of these are your favorites? And can any of these be purchased on US stock exchanges?

Sometimes I think the Fed causes as much damage as good.

Yes, that's quite an interesting idea that would have solved a lot of problems. Of course if word had gotten out, and it almost always does, that might have been a new headache.

Good find!

Well said.
