by Chris Martenson

Partisan politics is something we actively avoid discussing on this site. Instead, we prefer to operate in the domain of provable fact. But that doesn't mean that we have written off the political process entirely.

David Collum: Broken Markets, State Capitalism & Eroding Liberty

by David Collum

2013 was a frustrating year for those who believe in cause and effect. Markets have been levitated far above what fundamentals would justify. Sovereign debt has increased tremendously, but seemingly without repercussion. Central planners have become more brazen in their belief that intervention is the best way to control both an economy and its citizens – to surprising little outcry from the populace:

Every year, friend-of-the-site David Collum writes a detailed "Year in Review" synopsis full of keen perspective and plenty of wit. This year's is no exception.

The Gift of Purpose

by Adam Taggart

There's something about the winter holidays that causes introspection. I suppose it's only natural when marking the end of year to reflect on how to make the coming one fare better.

That's probably why we see such an influx of inquiries in December here at PeakProsperity.com from folks who are looking for answers to the big unresolved issues in their lives.

The Case for a Crash

by charleshughsmith

We’ve recently been treated to two mutually exclusive forecasts: that the Great Bull Market will run until 2016 or 2018, so no worries; and that markets are exhibiting bubble-like characteristics that presage another crash.

So which forecast is more likely the correct one?
