The Truth About The Enlightenment Project
The ideas of reason, individualism, liberty, and humanism are the four "masks" of the Enlightenment Project which was spearheaded by the 18th century French *philosophes*. The purpose of these masks was to conceal the true nature of the project from the masses. What lay underneath the masks was something much more radical and revolutionary. The Enlightenment Project envisaged a crushing down of every landmark of culture. The *philosophes* dreamed of political movements that would sweep across the land like a plague of locusts and devour all the philosophies of the past, and every po... more »

Monetary Mayhem: Why the Federal Reserve Can't Make Headway
*Samuel Rines* *Economics, Americas* [image: Reuters] If it is inflation the Fed wants, then it is going to have to earn it. A couple of rate cuts is simply not going to be enough. With the Federal Reserve set to ease monetary policy, the goal of the easing has not been intelligibly articulated.

Namely, there are persistently weak inflation and global uncertainties. Fed officials have... more »
