Should Central Banks Buy Gold? - Room for Debate
Gold is no longer a currency, but central banks and investors alike are hoarding it.The easy, simple answer is NO!The why is more complicated.As pointed out gold is not money.Buying gold places more money in circulation.As we are at the lower bound in interest rates the money just sits in savings to no effect. Debt increases to no effect. If and when the economy again functions interest rates will rise and that debt will become very burdensome. The money in savings will move into investment and so into goods, inflation rises. Either the central bank sells gold to soak the excess money out of circulation or taxes rise to do the same thing.I am confused.We know that deflation is a disaster. Modest steady inflation keeps money invested and the economy on track. buying gold hedges against inflation but it is not productive. Gold does not bear interest.In a functioning economy there are investments that pay at rates higher than inflation. Far better to put money there. As things stand those investments are not available. Wealthy persons see government debt increasing which signals inflation to them. they buy gold against inflation the price of gold goes up. this signals more inflation. More gold. Higher price. etc. Wild days in the gold market. We have them.In fact there is a deflation. Wages are going down. Demand for goods is down. Dollars are increasing in value. Private debt is more ruinous all the time. The gold spiral will end. It is a bubble. Faith is not comfortable. -

Some Newspapers Shift Coverage After Tracking Readers Online
Because of technological advances, newspapers can make more scientific decisions about allocating their resources.“How can you say you don’t care what your customers think?” asked Alan Murray, who oversees online news at The Wall Street Journal. “We care a lot about what our readers think. But our readers also care a lot about our editorial judgment. So we’re always trying to balance the two.”The editorial content of the WSJ is a standing joke.All Murdoch all the time."Lead, follow, or get out of the way."Essay required.

Portraits From a Job-Starved City
“Cool project via @nytimes : Portraits From a Job-Starved City - http://nyti.ms/epshSl”
"Three days before Christmas, President Obama gathered his economic team in the West Wing’s Roosevelt Room to review themes for his State of the Union address. The edge-of-the-cliff crisis he inherited had passed, but with more than 14 million Americans still out of work, he was looking for bold ways to bring down unemployment. The ideas presented to him, though, seemed familiar and uninspired. “You know, guys,” he said, according to someone in the room, “I’ve told you before, I want you to come to me with ideas that excite me.” Nothing he was hearing excited him."http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2011/08/white-house-debates-doing-little-or.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/14/us/politics/14econ.html"WASHINGTON — As the economy worsens, President Obama and his senior aides are considering whether to adopt a more combative approach on economic issues, seeking to highlight substantive differences with Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail rather than continuing to pursue elusive compromises, advisers to the president say."After Krugman and Calculatedrisk, I concur. Little or nothing on jobs.Rockford Illinois was trying.They have found no bottom.

Julian Schnabel Discusses His New Movie, a Palestinian Story
“Julian Schnabel Discusses His New Movie, a Palestinian Story - http://nyti.ms/h13sGD”The defence to a charge of slander is truth.Neutrality, though often promised, is never required. There is really only one set of facts. How much of the facts to report is a matter of debate in the news.Imposing facts on faith can be a job for art which has no implied promise of faith.I think I would like to see this Movie.

“The Pietà Behind the Couch - http://nyti.ms/kOYhrQ”The painting in this article is apprentice work and by an unskilled hand. The figures look like poorly modelled clay.The drawing is by a master. Note the tension in the poses and the lack of it in the victim.

TimesPeople recommended an article:Aug 14, 2011Industry Tries to Streamline Privacy Policies for Mobile Users
If the privacy policy is incomprehensible the app must not be installed.
The reason they can't be read is they would not be used if if the user understood the contract. - "But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate.My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.

Germany Has Nothing to Worry About for Now - Room for Debate
It is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty the effects of loan defaults on European taxpayers.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14526257""So it would push not only Germany, not only Europe, but the whole world into conditions very reminiscent of the Great Depression in the 1930s, which was also caused by a banking crisis that was out of control."
If you agree with Mr Soros, the choice for the eurozone is between the surrender of some national sovereignty and economic disaster - a disaster that would impoverish the eurozone and the rest of us."
Knowing where George Soros has his money would be worth much.
