Bracing for the big one

The Valley’s latest extreme sport is feigning nonchalance about the economy. Living in an earthquake zone requires developing a habit of stoic flinchiness. The economy’s seismic shifts are slower, but just as unpredictable; all one can do it shrug one’s shoulders, stock the emergency kit, and keep on living. “We’re watching the economy crater all around us, but … well, we’re not really seeing any direct impact,” writes Tech Ticker anchor Sarah Lacy. “Making things more uneasy for those here in 2000: We didn’t cause this one.” Lacy’s right to reach back in history for examples, but her timing is off.

Inflation running at the fastest pace in 17 years

Posted in Board Of Intellectual Capital, Business models, Economy, Gerbsman Partners, Intellectual capital, Investments, Market research on August 30, 2008| Leave a Comment »

Consumer prices shot up in July at twice the expected rate, pushed higher by surging energy and food costs. The latest surge left inflation running at the fastest pace in 17 years.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that consumer prices rose by 0.8 percent last month, twice the 0.4 percent gain that economists had been expecting.

It was also deeply frustrating. Despite the teaching of Milton Friedman — which clearly explained that inflation was caused by too much money chasing too few goods — a combination of bad economic models, denial and political expediency allowed it to happen.

Deepening Cycle of Job Loss Seen Lasting Into ’09

As automakers dropped their latest batch of awful sales numbers on the market on Tuesday, reinforcing the gloom spreading across the economy, the troubles confronting American workers seemed to intensify.

Plummeting home prices have in recent months eliminated jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, from bankers and real estate agents to construction workers and furniture manufacturers. Tighter lending standards imposed by banks in the wake of huge mortgage losses have made it hard for many Americans to secure credit — the lifeblood of expansion in recent years — crimping the appetite of consumers, whose spending amounts to 70 percent of the economy.
