ABSTRACT

Presented by Mike “Mish” Shedlock.

Mike “Mish” Shedlock is author of one of the most read economics blogs on the Internet: Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis [http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/].

Mish gave an @Google talk, sharing his perspective on the state of the global economy (housing, the stock market, commodities, etc.) He also provides his interesting story about how he started blogging, and the impact that it has had on his life personally and professionally.

In January, Time.com ranked his site the #1 based on a rounded set of criteria [http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1873144-3,00.html]. From the article:

“Although Mish is not an economist by training, he adroitly gets into the thick of economic data. Mish uses observations made by those in major media, so-called experts and government officials and serves up analysis based on his impression of their relevance and validity. The author is not afraid to attack conventional wisdom.”

A quick description of the events that brought America’s Big Three automakers to their knees. First, they had to assume responsiblities assumed by governments in other developed countries. Second, they were not quick enough to respond to changing demands, causing them to lose market share to the Japanese. Having lost market share but having assumed responsbilities usually shouldered by governments, they were preassured for money and neglected R&D, engaged in badge engineering. Third, they did not prepare for the end of cheap gas and the SUV craze – Toyota did, and, despite exploiting the SUV craze as well, prepared by fostering a green image through bringing cars like the Prius to the market, even though they were not profitable in the short run.

OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

When Fox News business anchor Jenna Lee reported on the surge in the stock market during the first year of the presidency of Barack Obama, the biggest stock market gain in a president’s first year since before World War II, I knew Fox News would find some way to turn this good news into bad news for Obama and I was not disappointed as I show in this video.

The clips of the analysis from Fox News business anchor Jenna Lee come from the program “Happening Now” broadcast January 20, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online).

The clip of Obama Administration senior advisor David Axelrod comes from MSNBC’s program “Hardballl with Chris Matthews” also broadcast January 20, 2010, available online at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34962467

The clip of Time editor-at-large Mark Halperin comes from NBC’s “Meet the Press” broadcast January 17, 2010, available online at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34906750

The clip of Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher comes from the program “Live Desk” broadcast January 21, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online).

Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy

NARRATOR: Globalization did not cause global poverty, but it did make us more aware of it. And by creating a single global market, it raised the question of how that market benefits the world’s poorest nations.

DANIEL YERGIN: We are seeing around the world a movement towards greater reliance on markets, greater confidence in markets. But for that confidence to last it has to be seen that these markets are fair, that they are delivering the benefits widely, that people are benefiting from them. And if they don’t have that kind of legitimacy, then the confidence is not going to remain, and the markets will be vulnerable to disruption and be replaced by other kinds of controls. So every day the market has to earn and prove its legitimacy, and that’s a big test, particularly in the developing world, where the number-one issue, the central preoccupational concern, is the issue of poverty, and delivering the goods means lifting people out of poverty. And that more than anything else is what these markets would be judged by.

JEFFREY SACHS: Professor of Economics, Harvard University: The world is more unequal than at any time in world history. There’s a basic reason for that, which is that 200 years ago everybody was poor. A relatively small part of the world achieved what the economists call a modern economic growth. Those countries represent only about one-sixth of humanity, and five-sixths of humanity is what we call the developing world. It’s the vast majority of the world. The gap can be 100-1, maybe a gap of $30,000 per person and $300 per person. And that’s absolutely astounding to be on the same planet and to have that extreme variation in material well being.
