We don’t write that often about markets because The Prickly Pear is not a financial publication. However, we appreciate that our readers, like the public generally, are being squeezed by the worst inflation in a generation and are being buffeted by very uncertain financial markets.

It’s hard to find consensus these days, but everyone seems to agree that there was something rotten about the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. Not the athletes and the sporting events, of course; they trained their entire lives to compete, were as brilliant as ever, and are not responsible for the decisions that led to such […]

President Biden and our European allies closed every off-ramp for Russia while misleading Ukraine into thinking we would defend it. Not every war is unnecessary or avoidable, but history might well judge the Russo-Ukrainian war as both, not least because the United States and its European allies could have prevented it, but didn’t. The decision […]

Editors’ Note: We ourselves have suggested that governments would not permit the full operation of cryptocurrencies because it challenges their entrenched power to manipulate money. This manipulation in the past was limited to inflation of the currency, redistribution of wealth, and supposed countercyclical measures to modulate the business cycle. Then that power morphed in several […]

Editors’ Note: The following article was published February 22, 2022 and is dated given the massive and brutal invasion by Vladimir Putin’s military forces to decapitate the Ukrainian democratically elected government.

“One small thing to be thankful for is that [Donald Trump] is not in the White House as the Ukraine crisis unfolds.

Conservative author, venture capitalist, and U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio J.D. Vance said in a statement today that the U.S. “spent $6 billion on a failed Ukrainian army” and “foolishly pressured” Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons in the 1990s, which killed any major leverage it might have had against Russian aggression. Vance also […]
Editors’ Note: Not only do we find it odd that Biden is snuggling up to the dictator Erdogan but it is unconscionable that he would deliberately hurt Israel, an ally, while cutting off alternative supplies of gas to European allies. This makes Putin even stronger and Erdogan stronger while our allies are made poorer and more […]

During the early morning hours of Thursday (local time), Russia began its long-threatened and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the first instance of war between two sovereign nations in Europe since the end of the Second World War. Vladimir Putin’s order to initiate a “special military operation” against Ukraine has finally, for those who had any […]
