By Algernon Austin / CEPR In response to the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) created jobs for over 8 million people between 1935 and 1943. While data on the racial composition of WPA workers isn’t available for all of these years, the data we have for 1939, 1941, and 1942 make clear that the WPA […]

I’ve got a new piece up over at UnHerd about the push — in the UK and elsewhere — towards central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The official explanations don’t add up, while the risks of giving governments and central banks such sweeping powers of surveillance and control are being seriously downplayed.
Now and then, even the most seasoned politician happens to slip up and accidently speak the truth. This is what occurred during a recent debate at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, when the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock openly stated that “we are fighting a war against Russia”. The German government was quick …

Toby Green and I have written an article about the highly disturbing (but underreported) phenomenon of excess deaths: in all Western countries, people are dying at much higher rates than the pre-pandemic average, and only a fraction of these deaths are attributable to Covid. More young people are dying today than during the pandemic. This is the …

Rising prices don’t necessarily mean a rise in overall inflation. This blog post explains the difference between increases in relative prices and the inflation rate.
There’s a legal means of creating a pandemic that could kill millions. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 8th February 2023 If you wanted to kill as many people as possible, deniably and with no criminal consequences, what would you do? You’d do well to start with a bird flu. Bird flus are responsible […]
The problem with a table presenting multiple estimated effect measures from the same model (“Table 2”) is that it encourages the reader to interpret all these estimates in the same way, typically as total-effect estimates. As illustrated above, the interpretation of a confounder effect estimate may be different than for the exposure effect estimate. Of […]

February 13th, 2023: Tasks, am I right? If we do not build left-right coalitions on issues such as militarism, health care, a living wage and union organizing, we will be impotent in the face of corporate power and the war machine.

I have previously written in this series that there will need to be a major change in the composition of output and the patterns of consumption if we are to progress towards a sustainable future. It will take more than cutting material production and consumption. We have to make some fundamental shifts in the way we think about materiality. The topic today is about consumption but a specific form – our food and diets. Some readers might know that there has been a long-standing debate across the globe on whether a vegetarian/vegan diet is a more sustainable path to follow than the traditional meat-eating diet. Any notion that the ‘meat’ industry is environmentally damaging is vehemently resisted by the big food corporations. Like anything that challenges the profit-seeking corporations there is a massive smokescreen of misinformation created to prevent any fundamental change. In May 1921, the wives of miners from Platt Bridge in Wigan organised a football match against the neighbouring village of Abram. The final score was 4-1 to Platt Bridge, who ‘quickly commenced a lead which they maintained until the end’, according to the Wigan Observer’s contemporary match report. It was a kickabout between two […]  Hysteria over balloons is a strange thing, writes Dr Binoy Kampmark. read now... | ||
