Why this blog

With so many blogs already in existence, why yet another?

The global financial crisis is also a crisis in economic education.  Economic education is now a debt-financed lobotomy.  University graduates who populate the ranks of business and government have made decisions and implemented policies which are destroying our economies.

The fallacies contained in economic textbooks have been taught as scientific facts which have guided decisions and policies everywhere.  The consequence is a global economic system which is collapsing.

The reforms and economic initiatives will hasten the collapse because they are mostly bolder and more exaggerated actions based on the same fallacies which caused the crisis in the first place.  There have been no new economic ideas which are likely to change the course of policy.

Inaugural post

This blog will be a record of my journey to build a scientific economic paradigm from the ground up. The journey is to build a scientific foundation for economics so that we can head in a demonstrably correct direction. Along the way the journey will provide many powerful and useful insights to help to make a better world. There can be no preconceived bias as to where this journey will lead in terms of destinations or conclusions. The only objective of this journey is the true path.

Clearly, the implication of this blog is that the true path for economics has not yet been taken or discovered. Given the continual economic strife around the world, evident to many people, the falseness of economics is self-evident, but to many others, the premise of false economics appears outrageous, since many recognizably great economists have contributed to the subject. An important start for this project is to pinpoint precisely the fallacies and deficiencies, why and how they have occurred, and what need to be done to either fix or avoid those deficiencies.

For the time being, comments are not permitted, until sufficient material has been posted to make the nature of the project clear and to make the modus operandi understandable. Thank you for your patience.
