by David Goldman

While the American economy goes down and down on the basis of “Malthusian” deindustrialization and “energy conservation” policies, West Germany, in particular, remains very healthy because investment has focused on high-technology capital formation.

Avoiding World War: Do Giscard and Brezhnev Know How?

by Rachel Douglas

Giscard’s sudden, emergency trip to Warsaw for consultations with Brezhnev opened up a range of opportunities for effective war avoidance policy by both East and West. But if there is any compromise with the Brandt Commission’s Malthusian backers, or simple inaction on the underlying political-economic causes of the war danger, those opportunities could go up in smoke.

The Long Arm of FEMA: A 13-State Dictatorship

by Kathy Burdman

From volcanic eruptions which the agency had just finished “simulating” to relocation of Cuban refugees, the dictatorial Federal Emergency Management Agency has spread its rule across the country thanks to a “piling up of disasters”-and its now running whole state governments the same way the International Monetary Fund imposes “conditionalities” on whole nations.
