- A Biological Walk Down Wall Street
Economics, Symbiosis and Parasitoids
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2008
Wall Street today, with the collapse of Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae, AIG, Lehmann Brothers, Washington Mutual and the rest as to come, is highly reminiscent of that scene in "Alien" (Ridley Scott, 1979) where the parasite begins to burst out. The host is the free market. Feeding the parasitoid more, in sense of allowing it to nourish on public funds as new host, will have the same denouement, only this time the host will not just be a particular market, but the whole market, and the society reliant upon it.

Until recently, stocks had been on a tear that pushed valuations into the stratosphere. Volatility stayed low because Bernanke's easy money and QE made investors more placid, serene and mellow. They ventured further out on the risk curve and took more chances because they were convinced that the Fed "had their back" and that there was nothing to worry about. Then things began to fall apart.

The debate about the current global economic "crisis" is obscenely counterintuitive and illogical to the point of incoherence. Who is willing to 'follow the money"? This dictum appears utterly forgotten, despite recurring astronomic fraud perpetrated by US corporations.

- Time for a national conversation on TPP's Investment Chapter
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2015
Now that the legal text of the Transpacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) has been released it is time for a national discussion to begin. The new Liberal government has announced that there will be a 'full and open public debate in Parliament' regarding its terms. Much of the controversy has turned on questions of supply management and the auto sector. Yet there is much more in this pact that is not about trade and this includes conferring upon foreign investors special rights, many of which are well beyond those available under Canadian law. For investors making their home in TPP signatory countries outside of Canada, they are entitled to sue Canada for damages when their rights are adversely affected.
