I love everything about the 4th of July, and the 250th anniversary is especially great for me because I am joining with family and friends for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a BBQ, and fireworks.
As I reflect on what has happened over the 250 years that followed July 4th, 1776, it seems like an impossible dream come true. Think about it. Imagine that at the outset on Jul…

29 Jul 2026, 11:50 UTC304 views3 reactionsread 7 August 2026 I am worried for the United States because it is losing sight of the principles that have worked so well for most Americans and that have bound Americans together. I don't believe that it can be taken for granted that the United States won't decline the way many other great countries have declined.

The Hard-Right: It is equally hard to believe in a government run by self-interested, private-market capitalists who have shown little inclination to provide necessities to the majority so they can b…

I wanted to expand on the thinking I expressed on July 4th when I talked about the remarkable secret sauce that produced the exceptional success that the United States has had over the last 250 years. It consisted of bringing together three unique factors:
A Diverse Cultural Mix: A mixture of relatively poor, hardworking immigrant people with diverse cultures. One might have thought…

I am a global macro investor whose approach to betting on what is going to happen is to understand the mechanics of how things work by learning the lessons of history. I find that what is now happening has happened repeatedly for the same reasons and that understanding the cause/effect relationships has helped me i…

But to understand Stage 5, you need to know that it follows Stage 3, in which there is peace and prosperity and favorable debt and credit conditions, and Stage 4, in which excess and decadence begin to bring about worse conditions. This process culminates in the most difficult and painful stage—Stage 6—when the count…

Because governments will never let the private sector’s financial problems sink the entire system, it is the government’s financial condition that matters most. When the government runs out of buying power, there is a collapse. But on the way to a collapse there is a lot of fighting for money and political power…

They are called populists. Populism is a political and social phenomenon that appeals to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are not being addressed by the elites. It typically develops when there are wealth and opportunity gaps, perceived cultural threats from those with diffe…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
