The Principled Centrist: First Principles Redux

http://principledcentrist.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-principles-redux.html

Articulation of centrist principles. And their application to current debates. The knock on centrists (by extremist conservatives and liberals alike) is that they are "moderates" - really a "mushy middle." Mainstream media generally presents two sides of any question, when the third side - a 360-degree view from the middle - might actually lead to solutions rather than nightly bickering by talking heads. Are the methods, the modus operandi to be followed if at all possible. Contextualism, Not Relativism.

The Principled Centrist: A Good IDEA

http://principledcentrist.blogspot.com/2008/12/good-idea.html

Articulation of centrist principles. And their application to current debates. My degree is in economics, not political science. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, I'm educating myself about such things as voting systems. I knew there were lots of options used in the world's democracies - and I just learned about a small organization dedicated to helping democracies choose the right "rules of the game" for themselves. . The US is not a member of this young organization. I hope some day we will be! Winds...

The Principled Centrist: Sovereign Funds for Vultures

http://principledcentrist.blogspot.com/2009/02/sovereign-funds-for-vultures.html

Articulation of centrist principles. And their application to current debates. Sovereign Funds for Vultures. In the search for solutions to the financial system crisis, economists have not spent enough time exploring options for adapting to failures. Classical economic theory posits that homo economicus. 8211; the mathematically perfect man walking around free markets – doesn’t make mistakes. How could he? Back in the real world, mistakes and failures happen all the time. Remember New Coke? Financial cri...
