• What you really are afraid of is that you're competing against somebody who is rich and irrational. I mean, it used to be a given, a saying in the industry: Don't ever bid against Rupert Murdoch for anything Rupert wants, because if you win you lose. You will have paid way too much.

• For society to function some kind of reasonable balance has to be stuck between the competing interests of creditors and debtors. Although the mandate of the Bank of Canada was to maintain a delicate balance between encouraging growth and fighting inflation, the Bank opted to focus exclusively on fighting inflation. In doing so it came down heavily in favour of those with financial assets to protect, and against those whose primary need was employment.

• People in suburbia see trees differently than foresters do. They cherish every one. It is useless to speak of the probability that a certain tree will die when the tree is in someone's backyard . . . . You are talking about a personal asset, a friend, a monument, not about board feet of lumber.

• One hundred and fifty years ago the vacant lands of the West were opened to private use. One hundred years ago the Congress passed the Homestead Act, probably the single greatest stimulus to national development ever enacted. Under the impetus of that Act and other laws, more than 1.1 billion acres of the original public main have been transferred to private and non-federal public ownership. The 768 million acres remaining in federal ownership are a valuable national asset.

• Many people keep deploring the low level of formal education in the United states (as defined by, say, math grades). Yet these fail to realize that the new comes from here and gets imitated elsewhere. And it is not thanks to universities, which obviously claim a lot more credit than their accomplishments warrant. Like Britain in the Industrial Revolution, America's asset is, simply, risk taking and the use of optionality, this remarkable ability to engage in rational forms fo trial and error, with no comparative shame in failing again, starting again, and repeating failure.

• The major asset in this category is gold, currently a huge favorite of investors who fear almost all other assets, especially paper money (of whose value, as noted, they are right to be fearful). Gold, however, has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative. True, gold has some industrial and decorative utility, but the demand for these purposes is both limited and incapable of soaking up new production. Meanwhile, if you own one ounce of gold for an eternity, you will still own one ounce at its end.

• Irónicamente, las universidades han formado a cientos de miles de licenciados para empleos que pronto no existirán. Han formado a personas para mantener una estructura que no se puede mantener. La élite... sólo sabe cómo alimentar a la bestia hasta que muera. Una vez muerta, estarán indefensos. No esperes que nos salven. Ellos no saben cómo .... y cuando todo se derrumbe, cuando nuestro podrido sistema financiero con sus billones en activos sin valor implosione y nuestras guerras imperiales terminen en humillación y derrota, la élite del poder quedará expuesta como tan impotente, y tan auto-engañada como el resto de nosotros.

• En el Norte, ni los billetes verdes, ni los impuestos, ni los bonos de guerra fueron suficientes para financiar la guerra. Así que se creó un sistema bancario nacional para convertir los bonos del gobierno en dinero fiduciario, y el pueblo perdió más de la mitad de sus activos monetarios por el impuesto oculto de la inflación. En el Sur, las imprentas lograron el mismo efecto, y la pérdida monetaria fue total.
