Introduction

Hello Readers,

It is my goal, first and foremost in this financial blog to get the reader to think, in uniquely new ways about the world around them from an economic standpoint. We live in both an exciting and challenging time in humanity. I hope that we can explore that world in focused fact based discussions that at times may seem unconventional yet always highly reasoned.

The initial plan for this blog is to have weekly "hot" issue articles that will dissect current events, whether it be the value of the dollar weakening world wide, or the effect that a growing Chinese economy will have on the world. These "hot" issues will not just reiterate the voices of many so-called experts, but will hopefully be building blocks to solutions. Ground plans or blueprints for action is the goal for these articles.

Secondly, from time to time "offbeat" articles will be posted, these could range from simple things such as, good advice and strategies to follow when buying a car, to more political issues dealing with turmoil overseas. The purpose of these articles will range from very useful micro level decisions that need to be made everyday, to more complicated macro issues.

If you have found this page I hope that you are not immediately inclined to move on to the next one in million blogs out there. I hope that this experiment in blogging will offer you a truly dynamic and worthwhile investment of your time. I truly appreciate your readership. Moreover, I appreciate your thoughts and opinions both complimentary and dissenting.

I leave you today with a video from Milton Friedman, the award winning University of Chicago Economist and crusader for personal freedom.
