Another Dynamite From Nobel - Buffet, Krugman, Obama and Gold

advertisement

The prize committee cited Krugman's work on trade theories and also mentioned his role as an opinion maker. For the world at large, however, it is the latter role that distinguishes him from most of his fellow laureates of late.

Many Think .. That There Are Many More Qualified ...

Paul Krugman has been (allegedly) anti-Obama - and advising Obama to pay heed to Roosevelt's policies. Now, we all know what Roosevelt's (most significant) economic policy was - nationalization of American gold stocks.

Was Krugman's Nobel Prize award to help him to increase his 'opinion making' powers? Was the Nobel prize fixed to meet American /Western short term requirements?

Was the Nobel prize given to the Paul Krugman to make his position strong - as a part of the Obama Dream Team - or as ballast against an 'adventurous' Obama who may not toe the line? Will Krugman join Warren Buffet in rescuing the Western economic system?

Will they nationalize gold again - and instead promote silver? Is a new version of the bi-metallic standard coming?

Announcement

The 2ndlook model for a Third currency Bloc is ready. Join in to review, participate, critique and develop the First Cut. While the need for a new global reserve currency has been evident, there is very little in the public sphere. The speed of events has clearly caught the BRICS and Third World napping - and unprepared. But, not 2ndlook - who, from the very beginning, proposed that the world should stop clinging to the Dollar-Euro skirts.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
