After a couple of appointments this morning, I met with my colleague who is putting the finishing touches on the Ebook on social entrepreneurship.  The book will be posted on the Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise page in the very near future.

I then met with my colleagues in the Ramapo Foundation Grants Office so we can prepare two proposals to fund two speakers for the fall semester, Walter Block and Tom Woods.  Hopefully, we will get the funding to bring two outstanding scholars to discuss privatization and the Trump presidency.

My last meeting was with my two research assistants who are working on my next project, a book on the welfare state and philanthropy, which should be completed by the end of 2017.

I began the day reading Alan Blinder’s After The Music Stopped:  The Financial Crisis, The Response And Work Ahead, which was published in 2013.  Blinder is professor of economics at Princeton University, was a member of Bill Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors and served as Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve in the mid 1990s.

According to Blinder the Federal Reserve was not responsible for causing the housing bubble.  He cites the usually culprits for the housing meltdown, greed on Wall Street and lax regulations among other factors.   Blinder’s analysis so far is wanting, to say the least.  He does, however, provide a lucid narrative of the facts surrounding the unfolding of the financial crisis.

As a former Fed to honcho, it is not surprising Blinder gives the Fed a pass for causing the housing bubble. When I finish the book I will report on his conclusions.

Coincidence or sinister act?

“One of the most debated issues right now is Obamacare, and specifically whether and how the new republican-dominated Washington DC apparatus will repeal it — and when. Democrats are expectedly up in arms and fear any change to the policy, the suggested legacy of President Obama.”
