Posts that I especially recommend for Wednesday, June 16, 2021

• Alternative Visions - Inflation, Infrastructure ‘Smoke & Mirrors’, & Keynes’ Economics by Prof. Jack Rasmus from Alternative Visions in a 53:43m audio presentation. (Note: Rasmus attempts to explain what is the reality of the economy in contrast to what corporate media is reporting.) My reaction: Although he often frames events too much in the economy as Republican versus Democrats, I believe his interpretation of what corporate media currently reports is on the right track versus what is really going on. From my own experience, I also can agree with him in his introduction that readings of outstanding authors in the original is different from careerist and indoctrinated academics who provide skewed interpretations of what these authors wrote. To his credit, Rasmus has read much by these authors. I look forward to future posts in this series.
