To vote for someone else is to "do the wrong thing," and you don't want to be a bad person, do you? It's a sinister trick that comes in many phrases - all of which are highly effective in duping the majority - yet democracy is still deified.

David Hay, Evergreen Gavekal Bubbles now get tremendous amounts of press. Their counterparts, however, don't. In my 42 years of financial market experience, anti-bubbles are where immense amount of wealth are made and bubbles are where they are lost. |
Barry Ritholtz, The Big Picture What do you do if you have a philosophy that over the course of half a century, is continually proven wrong? I do not mean a little bit off, or theoretically askew, but verifiably, factually, quantifiably wrong? Do you admit the error and change course? |

Brian Wesbury & Robert Stein, First Trust Advisors |
J. Bradford DeLong, PS The past 30 years should have taught Democrats to put their own economic policy priorities before symbolic gestures of "bipartisanship." If US President Joe Biden does not replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with Lael Brainard, he will almost certainly regret it. |

Ben Inker, GMO Quarterly Letter Ben Inker addresses some of the objections we hear from investors who are hesitant to join us in betting strongly on value today. |
Kenneth Rogoff, Project Syndicate Many economists seem to view inflation as a purely technocratic problem, and most central bankers would like to believe that.
