THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Coast To Coast

Russ Baker:  From Eisenhower to Today's Military-Industrial-Congressional-Banking-Oil Complex — 15 Jan 2011 — The tight relationship between the US government, its armed forces, and the industrial corporations that supply armaments, equipment, and services is a dominant feature in today's world. But even 50 years ago, President Eisenhower warned about the growing problem: "We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes." Russ Baker walks us through the history of the military-industrial complex, adds some missing elements to that too-short phrase, and ties in some seemingly unconnected events.

Fresh Air

Algorithms Have Taken Control of Wall Street — 13 Jan 2011 — Frantic, paper-waving stock traders are a quaint visual. The truth is, Wall Street action is now highly digital, and that includes the decision making, which is largely based on highly complex algorithms that do their best to anticipate tiny moves in the market and take action that lets their owners keep racking up the daily profits.  (GP comment:  Interesting piece, though Felix Salmon's assertion that this is simply the "evolution of the market" is laughable. This is thievery taken to its most efficient form.)

Chris Nelder:  Supply vs. Demand vs. Speculators vs. OPEC — 13 Jan 2011 — Nelder analyzes what's likely to happen with oil prices in 2011, where the normal supply/demand pricing relationship will be confused by speculators, OPEC, and subsidies.

The Nation

Richard Heinberg:  The Globe's Limitations—How Peak Oil Threatens Economic Growth — 11 Jan 2011 — Heinberg gives his usual excellent overview of the peak energy/endless growth problem. Many people wave a hand casually and say that the people in charge will come up with something by the time the problem gets bad enough. But Heinberg says, once you start crunching the numbers and understand the built-in resistance to fast transitions, you realize there is a BIG problem. "We have too many people using too much stuff too fast in an economy that only knows how to grow."

Nicole Foss:  We Need Freedom of Action To Confront Peak Oil — 11 Jan 2011 — Foss points out that as bad as things look based on Hubbert's curve (peak oil), a more accurate measure is the net energy curve, and that one looks even worse. More ominous still, she predicts that the effects of the coming financial storm will trump peak oil. She also outlines her inflation/deflation scenario. Foss says the collective emotional state plays a large role in the public attitude towards the choice to face reality or continue with aggressive denial.  (The date on The Nation page is Jan 11, 2011, though the interview appears to have been taped in Oct 2010. Still, if you've never heard Nicole Foss lay out her thesis, this is well worth a listen. --GP)

Why Humans Are Hard-Wired To Inflate—And Other Odd Tendencies — 06 Jan 2011 — Dan Ariely talks about how biological hardwiring causes us to behave in ways that contradict the behavior predicted by classical economic models. He suggests that to deal with tough global problems—those that do not strike us as immediate threats, as "our problem," or as being worth worrying about—we need to reformulate the rules of what we care about. Leaving it to random events and momentary whims isn't working.
