In light of the many natural disasters that befall societies around the world the question arises ‘do governments have a long-term responsibility to ensure the well-being and rapid recovery of their citizens post disaster?’ One might imagine that “Power has only one duty – to secure the social welfare of the People.” (Benjamin Disraeli). But is this what actually takes place? I think back to Hurricane Katrina, Haiti, the Thailand tsunami of 2004, Japanese Tahoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011, the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010-2012 and most recently Hurricane Sandy. What did we get and what can we expect of our governments?

The market has grown used to cries of “Deflation!” and dovish Fed speeches. So much so, that early indicators are being ignored. The fact is, inflation is about to blindside Wall Street.

No, Not the planners, financiers, engineers, architects, managers. They are one of the inputs in the production process.

With all the fan fare on this year’s Presidential election where so many are focused on Trump or Clinton underneath the facade of political rhetoric lies in wait a financial calamity the likes of which would decimate this nation. With blundering policies from trade deals to military interventions over the past 30 years have impoverished this nation. The fact of the matter is the United States is beyond fat broke.

The fact is, there are few fundamental signs of a recession. Despite that, the tumult in the equity markets this past quarter caused many commentators to toss the “R” word around as though one were on the horizon. Yes, there is always a chance that a recession could begin in 2016.
