Economic Science

The Banker
The Market
Boom and Crash. Bull and Bear. Maximization of profits. Buy low, sell high.
The Phoenicians were the inventors of trade to the Romans. Trade has been viewed suspiciously ever since as being intentionally deceptive.
If anyone attempts to restore the connection between economy, ethics and philosophy, the result is praise and distinction; unfortunately, these ideas are rarely put to use.

With Amartya Sen as representative, we honor the farseeing economists.

Hamletian Ponderings

Money has a thought:

Above God and love

it’s the highest human good

it may therefore come to think

it thinks itself to be or not to be

thinking to itself

its favorite thoughts of being

are of thinking itself globally cuckolded

like a golden steer

in attempting not to be

it hides in the fur of the Global Bear

and tied securely on

thinks itself

well-hidden

Economic miracle grab bags filled with

clinking cashlessness

with the old coinage we could still joke around

the miraculous new chartlines stretch heavenward

and when they move downward they

still have only two sides

In the stubborn balance between debit and credit

all at once the times grow entirely godless

& goldless

but only stupid money thinks like that

smart money puts itself on the future

and thinks no matter what the scales show

might just a little bit more

be?
