  • The most insightful, intelligent, and prescient political, economic, and social science commentator of this era, Max has trained my thinking to be congizant of the dire nature of our current dilemna, acceptance of the truth that the race is already lost, but be alert for signs and ways to improve the prospects that our near brush with a sane, sound, equitable, and universally prosperous society can be found in future generations--provided we teach the next one the truth, whole truth, and nothing... more

  • Is this a GRU Op?

    Eerily reminiscent of Weimar German’s 1932 elections where the center right, center, left and far left spent as much time attack... more

  • Max Brings No BS Commentary to Economics and Politics

    Max tells economics like it is on Main Street, not Wall Street. He brings high energy, sound bites from politicians and pundits, and sarcasm to the world of policymaking and how decisions made up top affect us down at the bottom.
