Prices were stable, today they rise.By passing the Smoot-Hawley Act at the top of the credit cycle, Congress ensured a sharp downturn in the economic outlook, persuading bankers to call in their loans. . Research by Flanders and the BBC was either biased, deficient, blind or all three.The myth that has even drawn in Boris is so powerful it has intelligent people swearing the earth is flat. The numbers of unemployed were increasing alarmingly. Fortunately, this bail-in route is intended to be optional, but there is a risk that in a widespread banking crisis one or more of the G-20 members will go down the bail-in route, probably for banks not on the G-SIB list but smaller and no less significant banks. In Britain, Boris Johnson has already called for a modern “new deal”, and in his “Hundred Days” his Chancellor is delivering it.
Admittedly Sunak remains a free marketeer but has yet to prove his measures are temporary. Socially responsible investing looks for investments that are considered socially conscious because of the nature of the business the company conducts.

It is the means by which we compare one good against another. The cost will be immense, and it will be paid for by inflationary means.The scale of it will mean an unprecedented destruction of wealth — hardly the basis for economic recovery. The center-right American Action Forum pegs the cost at $93 trillion. The Monetary Policy Committee stressed the economy is unlikely to fully recover before the end of 2021, slightly later than the previous scenario.

Nothing is further from the truth: Hoover was an interventionist to his fingertips. It is indeed. This is not to merely dismiss the distortions in the market from changes in the quantity of money, which are damaging in many other respects. Instead of many thousands of small one and two-branch banks the system is dominated by large international behemoths, global systemically important banks — the G-SIBs.
