Michael Hudson : Well, I sure was wrong in what I expected Trump to say and do
I guess I have to hope that nobody here followed my expectation that Trump was going to pull off yet another stock-market boom-and-bust set of punches. It was a bust-bust one-two. And it looks like it’s all down from here.
I don’t have any money in the stock market myself, because I’m not a billionaire and… Continue reading

Trump will announce America’s huge aircraft and sea armada,… Continue reading

Michael Hudson : This time the U.S. attack on Iran will be for real – and for keeps

Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: Who Controls the Game? The Hidden War Behind Global Economics
The discussion argues that global economic polarization is driving geopolitical conflict and narrative warfare. It claims U.S. policy uses security threats from Russia and China to justify military spending, financial dominance, and pressure on allies, while critics see Eurasian economies gaining industrial and manufacturing strength. The conversation suggests Western economies are shifting toward service work… Continue reading
