Are we headed for recession (August 2019)?

I have been thinking quite a lot about the real economy and the financial economy.  I draw a distinction between the vast majority of the citizens of the United States of America in the real economy -- they work and earn and save and spend -- and the financial economy.  The real economy has household and business income. Citizens must have housing and items inside the home. They must have food and transportation and clothing and entertainment...the list is obvious because we are all part of this real economy.  We earn. We borrow. We spend. We save.  As you aggregate the real economy, real goods are produced and consumed either at home or abroad. Real supplies and materials ladder up into increasingly complex goods.  Real work is done on infrastructure and real innovation and research occurs.  This is different than the financial economy.

The financial economy wishes to make money based upon the real work of others in the real economy.  The financial economy lends money to people and b…

My proposed solution to student debt in the United States of America

Student debt deserves our society’s attention.  It deserves a solution that releases the burden for our young citizens while strengthening our nation's cultural foundation and our social fabric.
I have often wondered how to best address the 21st century requirement for leadership.  How do we best develop citizens for this and the next century? I turn my mind to President Kennedy, and the establishment of first, the Peace Corps, and then, VISTA which embraced Americorps in 1993.
Could the issue of student debt be reframed from “transfer the debt of students to punish the wealthy and successful” to “relieve debt through service to country and world?”

Furthermore, this offer should be extended to every present student and future college or university s…

Social Media, Consumer Behavior and the Internet

For more and more aspects of our lives, the Internet is the "everyday
answer." For travel, almost everyone uses the Internet over a travel
agent or calling an airline directly. Surprisingly, financial services
have overcome privacy and security concerns and now most people bank
online. This follows the acceptance of the ATM in lieu of branch
visits, so perhaps is not too surprising. We see that people are
managing their careers online, whether with job search (Careerbuilder)
or resume management (Linkedin). Even finding love (Match.com) or
other relationships (Craigslist or hookup.com) is more and more the
mainstream. We read that most people buy goods in stores, but Amazaon
and other shopping sites are generally accepted. Most people do not
use Skype to call, but more people adopt it for one-on-one connections
with distant friends and family.

The power has certainly shifted over the past decade. Comfort with the
Internet has grown dramatically, as fear has subsided. Usage i…
