Newsweek’s Recession Generation and the

Moral Consequences of Economic Growth

A quick post about the Newsweek article, The Recession Generation.

We all know the type of person who came of age in the Great Depression. They are the grandmothers and grandfathers who can’t use a tea bag too many times, yet are enjoying comfortable retirements in warm climates. And we know what the children of the 1950s are all about. They are the optimistic boomers who embodied an age of continual upward mobility and possibility. They have often spent more than they earned, because for them it has been a truism that times can only get better. It’s no accident that the psychology of entire generations is shaped by the milieu in which they grew up; economic research tells us that our lifelong behaviors are determined in large part by the seismic events—good or bad—of our youth. So, given that we have just experienced the worst economic period in 70 years, it’s no surprise that people have begun to wonder what sort of consumers, investors, and citizens will be bred by the Great Recession. Will there be, in effect, a “Generation Recession” of young people whose behaviors will be permanently shaped by the downturn?

Yep, I think this Generation will indeed be permanently shaped by the downturn. Let’s see, they are going to know that the International Bankers and Treason Lobby are bringing in immigrants to take their jobs, both low wage and high paying jobs. My daughter knows an African girl (from Africa) whose father was brought to the US to be the superintendent of a very prominent high school in my state. She asked if this is a high paying job, and I told her it is, and pointed out how insane it is to bring in an immigrant to take a job like this.

The conversation started as “why is public education so piss poor?” She is very bored at school, but at home she does Khan Academy videos and Pimsleur Spanish and practices piano. I said, “It’s because they want Americans to not get educated so they can bring in immigrants, and say that Americans are too stupid and lazy for those jobs, until White Americans are a helpless, beaten down minority.

Anyway, it looks like we White Americans are getting our beat-down even now, and here’s what a Harvard economist thinks is going to be the long term effects on the culture:

But would there be more social justice? No, says Benjamin Friedman, a professor of economics at Harvard University, in “The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth.” Friedman argues that economic growth is essential to “greater opportunity, tolerance of diversity, social mobility, commitment to fairness and dedication to democracy.” During times of expansion, he writes, nations tend to liberalize - increasing rights, reducing restrictions, expanding benefits for the needy. During times of stagnation, they veer toward authoritarianism. Economic growth not only raises living standards and makes liberal social policies possible, it causes people to be optimistic about the future, which improves human happiness. “It is simply not true that moral considerations argue wholly against economic growth,” Friedman contends. Instead, moral considerations argue that large-scale growth must continue at least for several generations, both in the West and the developing world.

The blind optimism and cornucopianism of past generations gave us the 1965 Immigration Act and the Civil Rights movement and our current politically correct Idiocracy. Now it’s payback time.

Khan Academy is great. I am impressed by any young lady who subs to him. I wonder what Sal would think about WN females using his material?
He wouldn't care probably.
One of the kosher ones said he didn't want white skilled workers getting jobs.

I urge WN's to pay attention to the Asians and the Jews, in the sense of competing. We need to compete in their fields, with an eye to beating them.

With Asians -- convenience stores. educational achievement esp. math and sciences

With Jews -- Psyops, finance, community building, cultural influence

Good strategy. We need to somehow get communications and implement this on a grass roots level and somehow go local, regional and national with good communications with all whites.
