The New Deal and Recovery, Part 23: The Great Rapprochement
George SelginWhat finally brought the Great Depression to an end? We ' ve seen that, whatever it was, it took place not during the 30s but sometime between then and the end of World War II, when a remarkable postwar revival occurred instead of the renewed depression many feared. We ' ve also seen that, while postwar fiscal and monetary policies weren ' t austere to the point of preventing that revival, they alone can ' t explain it, because they can ' t explain the reawakening of private business investment from its decade-and-a-half-long slumber.Animal SpiritsTo get to the bottom of that reawakening, we must first recall ...

What Scientists and Historians Understand: Without Truth, Progress Is An Impossibility
BY MIKE MAGEE “This too will pass, honey!” That’s what my mother used to say when any of my eleven brothers and sisters or I seemed to be overwhelmed by whatever. And largely, now, three quarters of a century since my birth, she was mostly right. Whether in personal lives or the life of our nation, over a span of time, the slope has been slight, but upward. But there are weeks, like this past one, where we are forced to witness the beating death of an innocent 29 year old black man at the hands of police in the very city where Martin Luther King was slaughtered 55 years ago, when it would be easy to lose hope. ...

The “Antebellum Paradox”: What is it and why it matters.
BY MIKE MAGEE I recently made the case that “Health is foundational to a functioning democracy. But health must be shared and be broadly accessible to be an effective enabler of good government.” I also suggested that the pursuit of good health is implied and imbedded in the aspirational and idealistic wording of our U.S. Constitution, and that the active pursuit of health as a nation is essential if we wish to rise to Hamilton’s challenge in Federalist #1 and prove that we are “capable of establishing good government from reflection and choice.” So why are native white males lagging behind in health? ...

Risk Perception
We ' ve discussed this here a few times, but it never gets old. Yes, the U.S. has far higher rates of gun violence and gun deaths than other affluent countries, and most countries in general. (There is more gun violence in some Central and South American countries, however, where civic order has broken down.)However, media attention and political discourse focuses almost entirely on incidents in which a lot of people are killed at once, which is quite misleading with respect to the actual risks posed by firearms. Also, while there seems to be constant hysteria about violent crime in the U.S., it is not actually high by his...

Can Missouri Pass The Muster
BY MIKE MAGEE A case has been made that a logical approach to reforming America’s violent and racist leanings would be to adopt the values and practices of Health Care for All. These include a commitment to compassion, understanding, and partnership; extending the linkages between individual, family, community and society; addressing fear and worry for individuals and populations; and promoting an optimistic and equitable future for all Americans.  Nurses and doctors and pharmacists and other health professionals pledge oaths and spend years training to exhibit and practice these values in the course of providing ...

Friday Feature: Charlotte Mason
Colleen HroncichEarlier this week marked the 100th anniversary of the death of British education pioneer Charlotte Mason, whose influence continues to be felt around the world. This anniversary has prompted her fans to celebrate her legacy and share her story. While I was slightly familiar with her and her work, seeing these stories piqued my curiosity: who was Charlotte Mason and what was her philosophy?Born on New Year ’s Day in 1842,Charlotte was educated at home by her parents until she was orphaned —and impoverished—at the age of 16. Prior to that, Charlotte had dreamed of being a teacher. Unable to af...

Epsilon Wave
Epsilon wave, the classical ECG finding in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is seen at the end of the QRS complex. Epsilon wave is typically seen in right precordial leads though it has been noted in left precordial leads in those with left ventricular involvement. ARVD is better termed arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy because of the possibility of left ventricular involvement. Epsilon wave represents the delayed activation of surviving islands of myocardium within the fibrofatty tissue in ARVD [1]. Some have called it as a ‘post excitation’ wave, as a corollary to the delta wave in pre excitation. It ...

The Danger of Stroking a Tiger
By MIKE MAGEE On the evening of December 29, 1940, with election to his 3rd term as President secured, FDR delivered these words as part of his sixteenth “Fireside Chat”: “There can no appeasement with ruthlessness…No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it.” Millions of Americans, and millions of Britons were tuned in that evening, as President Roosevelt made clear where he stood while carefully avoiding over-stepping his authority in a nation still in the grips of a combative and isolationist opposition party. The Germans were listening as well and sent a different type of message as the Luft...
