I will post in bigpicture terms on Econ vs Foreign Policy as I see fit, in adult terms but for deeper details, follow my moniker back to the "Golden Jackass" thread where I spend most of my time many many articles and little debates about the economy, currency, real estate, bonds, debt, gold, etc we (they) dont directly cite foreign policy issues much but lately, the talk on gold and oil has been joined at the hip with Iraq and MidEast conflict a foreign policy discussion nowadays that overlooks economic malaise misses a key component, and thus is very incomplete imagine talking about Hitler and Nazi Germany while ignoring the state of the post-WW1 German economy extremely shallow the point is that to avoid war, a nation must deal properly with the economic challenges the Treaty of Versailles was WHOLLY INADEQUATE thus post-war German was a setup for the next war, as hyperinflation ensued, political instability prevailed, and borders were endangered I find the study of History to be shameful in Economics, in Politics, in Currency & Banking, in Trade, in Voter Campaigns, Century SuperCycles, Railroad/ Automobile/ Internet Parallels how can a broad topic be studies and discussed with at least high-level topics that directly motivate and relate? it cannot / jim
