George Orwell
Steve HankeSteve Hanke

HANKE'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT: The University of North Carolina has implemented an 'inclusive' language guide that bans students/staff from using words such as "man" or "freshman". Welcome to George Orwell’s 1984, where "Newspeak" is mandated. https://t.co/WBWmPbXxIQ

Bill Gates
Steve HankeSteve Hanke

Bill Gates is playing public health prophet, again. His book, "How to Prevent the Next Pandemic," is a blueprint for preventing another COVID disaster. Curiously, Gates fails to condemn China, a nation withholding COVID data. Well, maybe not so curious. https://t.co/EejsRH4U3d

Steve HankeSteve Hanke

Feeling extra tired this Sunday morning? Each year, switching to daylight savings time (read: losing one hour of sleep) creates an increased risk for health issues, such as diabetes. We can ditch this artificial "jet lag" by switching to Universal Time. https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/its-time-to-dump-daylight-saving/#slide-1

21st Century Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve from the Great Inflation to Covid-19

Ben S. Bernanke
Steve HankeSteve Hanke

Newly-minted Nobelist Ben Bernanke, in his book "21st Century Monetary Policy" (2022), totally disregards monetary aggregates and their effect on inflation. This is akin to a physicist ignoring the existence of the laws of gravity. https://t.co/65li5ix6Qk

John Milton
Steve HankeSteve Hanke

US year-end inflation has reached a 39-year high of 7%/yr. Using the Quantity Theory of Money, John Greenwood and I wrote in the @WSJ on 7/20/21, that inflation would end the year at 6%-9%/yr. Like Milton Friedman said, “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” https://t.co/XWlN5U5kEd

Yet again, Sri Lanka passes the begging bowl. This time, it's not only to China, but the IMF, Asian Development Bank, World Bank, India, and anyone else who will listen. Sri Lanka is jumping from a Red Debt Trap to a Global Debt Trap. https://t.co/mQvuBHfW2W

#EconWatch: While attending a press conference in #Glasgow, Pres. Biden claimed that wage growth has outpaced inflation over the past year. That's a lie. To understand, read Prof. John J. Mearsheimer’s book “Why Leaders Lie”. https://t.co/2GfROm2CIj
