Lessons from Thucydides

David R. Kotok has written the monograph pamphlet, “Lessons from Thucydides” detailing information asymmetries and their implications for investors and world affairs. The concept of a Thucydides Trap and its rise and avoidability (or lack thereof) is often debated and David makes a case for dealing with them weaving current and historical events into a comprehensive narrative.

In 430 BC, a plague struck the city of Athens, which was then under siege by Sparta during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC). In the next 3 years, most of the population was infected, and perhaps as many as 75,000 to 100,000 people, 25% of the city’s population, died. The Athenian general and historian Thucydides left an eye-witness account of this plague along with observations of its impact and subsequent shift in military/political power.

This free monograph also has lessons for President Donald Trump’s trade policy. Can the United States avoid a Thucydides Trap with China & Xi Jinping?

Will you benefit from the Lessons of Thucydides or fall victim to a Thucydides Trap? If information is key, you now have a handbook at your fingertips.

3 Hurricanes Trigger Labor Shortage

Rebuilding, cleanup, mitigation, maintenance, infrastructure repairs in 7 states will require 100s of thousands of additional people working. We need to import more labor, not deport. Fix DACA now. U7 says Labor market still tight, just less so than Covid shock. Congress must act quickly and stop politicizing the national economy and threatening the future.  Now here’s a study lesson for serious Nerds. Praise and thanks to historian Philipa Dunne for her excellent assistance.

A rule of thumb is that when politics gets inserted into the management of your money, be very careful and watch the money.    

We’ve seen that with ETFs like ACVF or ESGU or HKND or MAGA or PRAY or STRV or YALL, which have various alleged political agendas incorporated into their investment policies.  And we’ve observed the remarkable and volatile trading in the stock DJT.   I am not recommending nor endorsing any of these securities.  Readers may research them and their price action and decide for themselves.

Senator John Thune

I personally favor Senator John Thune to succeed Mitch McConnell as leader of the Senate Republican Conference in the forthcoming Congress. Here’s why. Please note that this is my own view and not the position of any business or organization with which I have any affiliation.

Behind The Curve?

Today let’s consider why the Fed should always operate “behind the curve” (where there is data to rely on). 

It is important to note that the yield curve is not inverted anymore. I’m ignoring the very short-term interest rates, which are now projected to fall two full percentage points over the Fed’s “dot plot” projection period. I’m looking at the range from 2 years to 30 years in the yield on US Treasury obligations, whether notes or bonds.
