A Grande Depressão - video clip

The Great Depression | What Caused It?
The Great Depression of the 1930s is still considered by many to be a failure of the free market and of the laissez-faire capitalism. At a first glance, it may very well seem so. [...]
Brasil na escravidão dos impostos
Ontem chegamos a uma marca significativa no país: R$ 1 trilhão coletados em impostos. É um recorde, com 12 dias de antecedência em relação ao ano passado. A evolução é inquestionável. Em 2010, esse valor foi registrado apenas em outubro. O montante equivale ao total de impostos, taxas e contribuições pagas pelos brasileiros desde o início do ano nos três níveis de governo - municipal, estadual e federal.
Deu trilhão.

Uma guerra comercial desnecessária
Historians of the future will look back to try to understand how this happened. The Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930, the ones that devastated the global economy, came about as a confused reaction to an economic crisis. Today’s tariffs, in contrast, emerge in times of economic recovery, extremely low unemployment, and signs of genuine growth.
Neoliberalismo
Scott Sumner: "Maybe I'm being too cynical here, but there is a serious point. If you read left wing progressives or right wing nationalists, you are led to believe that neoliberalism is a sort of religion, and that neoliberals have been entranced by the supply and demand diagrams in textbooks into blindly supporting free markets. This is a complete misreading of where neoliberalism came from.
In 1974, statism was still the ruling ideology almost everywhere in the world. People like Milton Friedman were often viewed as crackpots. (I was at a progressive university at the time (in Madison), and have first hand knowledge of this period.) Neoliberalism arose for very specific reasons, mostly having to do with the failures of real world statist polices, such as protectionism, price controls, nationalization of industries, and regulatory barriers to entry. There were very sophisticated studies of the political economy of government intervention in the economy, including the way that policies get captured by special interest groups. Neoliberalism was aided by the superior performance of relatively open, market-oriented economies---Hong Kong vs. Argentina. It was never about blind faith in markets.
Younger intellectuals and policymakers have forgotten all of this history, and now we will be forced to relive all the mistakes of the statist period---until eventually the internal contradictions of statism become so obvious that there is another neoliberal awakening."

Reescrevendo a história
Artigo de Roberto Campos: durante mais de cinquenta anos ele bateu na mesma tecla, e durante 50 anos a sociedade brasileira, as elites míopes se recusaram a ouvi-lo. Por isso, estamos mais uma vez em crise, e com um PIB per capita em retrocesso.
