A Systems Thinking Perspective on Manufacturing & Trade Policy9/13/03
This paper explains why the U.S. is losing manufacturing and other jobs, why it's a problem, why government can and should take action to address it, and what government can do (and can stop doing) to promote growth, create jobs in the U.S., and reduce the exodus of jobs from the U.S. (revised 12/24/03).

The Fallacy of Composition 5/04/05
The Fallacy of Composition: When we act as if what is true for a part is true for the whole. At times, individually logical actions can be collectively irrational. Offshoring is a prime example. This is illustrated with analogies to "spectators viewing a playing field" and "ocean fishing."

Testimony on SB-04-170, Keep Jobs in Colorado 2/09/04
U.S. policy is the exact opposite of “protectionist.” The trade deficit is approaching $500 billion per year (now exceeds this). For a trade balance this negative, the opposite of “protectionism” must be the case. U.S. policy is, in effect, “reverse protectionism” … forcing industry and jobs out of the country. This is currently undermining U.S. economic and military security.

In the Long Wave Trough 2/16/05
The graph shows the U.S. economy remains in the Long Wave trough. "And when the experts predict that the economy should grow about 3% to 3.5% in 2005, we know we are still stuck in the trough of the Long Wave because that is basically no growth at all."

There's no "free market" for Labor 5/21/05
"Free market" ideologues believe that wages are determined by labor market supply and demand. It isn't true. There is no "free market" for labor. This article explains the manipulation and its result: "employees' share of the value added in the U.S. economy has fallen to its lowest point since records were first kept in 1947 -- and the rate of decline is accelerating."
