Current Market Conditions

The Price of Tomorrow

Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future

Jeff Booth

In 'The Price of Tomorrow,' Jeff Booth argues that technological progress is driving a natural deflationary force in the economy, which is being countered by government and central bank interventions through money printing and debt creation. Booth contends that our current economic systems, built on debt and inflation, are unsustainable and will lead to increased polarization and economic trouble if not adjusted. He advocates for embracing deflation and restructuring our economic frameworks to harness the abundance that technology can bring. The book covers a broad range of topics including the impact of technology on job markets, equality, and societal stability, and it concludes with a call to action for policymakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs to adapt to these new economic realities.

The book highlights that market cycles are driven by cause-and-effect relationships and that investors should prepare rather than predict market outcomes. It also delves into the psychological markers and emotional factors that influence investor behavior during different phases of the cycle.

Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle

The Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotle's most renowned work on ethics, focusing on the science of the good for human life. The text is divided into ten books and discusses the concept of eudaimonia, often translated as 'happiness' or 'flourishing,' which is achieved through living a virtuous life. Aristotle argues that eudaimonia is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, emphasizing the importance of reason, moral virtues, and the pursuit of excellence. The work also explores the division of the soul, the role of rationality in human life, and the ultimate goal of human activity, which is to achieve happiness through virtuous actions and a complete life.
