Why I'm Down on the Dollar

By: Dean LeBaron

Years of financing trade imbalances, budget deficits, wars, and social programs without benefit of spending cuts or tax increases are helping to pull down an already wobbly dollar. And our biggest creditors, the Asians (Japanese and Chinese), have grown restive. It’s a recipe for calamity that could crater your investments along with the American currency. It’s not too late to protect your portfolio. I have long enjoyed watching how the world’s currencies fluctuate in value relative to one another. These trades are real-time referendums on what the investors everywhere think about any and all of them. My job as a global investor is to sort through the clues and connect the dots before others do. It is a game of wit and luck and an important tool for preserving and increasing one’s wealth. But these days, the game is anything but enjoyable. We appear to be in a rare, multigenerational transition period that turns the investment world inside out and renders historic perspective useless.

Capitalist Adventures in Red Square

By: Dean LeBaron

Russia still hasn’t gotten the hang of capitalism and democracy, but that doesn’t mean it’s a backwater when it comes to investment opportunities. Dean LeBaron counts himself among the optimistic few, having observed the country firsthand for years. He predicts that Russia’s growing middle class will spark rapid economic expansion once oil and natural gas prices resume their inevitable climb. Russia is a country of great contradictions. Lavish new office towers reflect its ambitions to become a modern superpower, but its economy is constrained by its Communist past. Industrial production has been weakening ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but Russia’s enormous reserves of oil and natural gas obscure the shrinkage. Its leaders talk endlessly of economic modernization, but nothing seems to change. Critics contend that real change won’t come until the country is run by a new generation, one that hasn’t lived under a Communist system. Even so, Russia is not bereft of investment opportunities, and as real progress finally takes hold in the years to come, those opportunities will multiply. As for the here and now, the $280 billion stimulus package rolled out in response to the global financial meltdown of 2008 has helped to shore up Russia’s domestic economy and stabilize the ruble. Foreign investors see rebounding oil prices as a good reason to be optimistic about Russia’s near-term future.

Why I'm Buying Gold

Why I'm Buying Gold

By: Dean LeBaron

The value of gold doesn’t depend on banks or governments keeping their word. In fact, the more they fail, the more gold is worth. And now, with public faith in the system dribbling away, gold is becoming one of the last safe havens. Also, the global financial crisis is far from over. It could topple into either inflation or deflation. Holding a strong position in gold is a good strategy in either case. I hope I’m wrong. Because, if I’m right, it will be bad news for the global economy and for all of us--even for those of you who buy gold. You’ll do better than people who don’t, but no one will come out well. As JFK never said, a falling tide lowers all boats. Yes, I said buy gold--that relic of the days before paper currencies and central banks. It’s faintly ridiculous to hold gold; you have to be one of those nuts carrying a sign: “The End of the World Is Nigh!” Gold doesn’t finance companies or build economies: It just sits there. But remember, the economic world did nearly end in 2008. No one knows how close we came to the point where no one would accept anyone else’s checks, or foreign currencies, or even dollars except at a huge discount. Fortunately, the U.S. government’s extreme moves saved the day--but we’re not safe yet. At times like these, gold becomes king.

Entrepreneurial Responses to Chronic Adversity

The Bright, the Dark, and the in Between

By: Dean A. Shepherd,Vinit Parida,Joakim Wincent

This open acess book extends recent work on entrepreneurship in response to adverse events to explore entrepreneurial responses by people who face chronic adversity more deeply. Instead of focusing on the sort of responses intended to destroy the institutions that create and sustain chronic adversity, the authors are interested in how individuals use entrepreneurial action to find a way within these adverse constraints to improve their lives. They explore the positive outcomes arising from these entrepreneurial actions for the entrepreneurial actor and their family members as well as the negative consequences of these entrepreneurial responses to chronic adversity—outcomes that diminish others’ well-being. The book relies on the lived experiences of those facing chronic adversity to provide insights into the bright—and dark—sides of entrepreneurship and the complexity of these relationships. It will serve as a valuable resource to scholars seeking to understand how entrepreneurial action is conceived and implemented by those facing challenging resource-poor environments.

Amchitka and the Bomb

Nuclear Testing in Alaska

Amchitka and the Bomb

Nuclear Testing in Alaska

By: Dean W. Kohlhoff

More than a quarter-century has now passed since the United States set off the last of three underground atomic blasts in the remote wilderness of the Aleutian islands, off the coast of Alaska. Cannikin, as this third test was called, exploded as planned on November 6, 1971, on Amchitka Island. The first test, Project Long Shot (1965), was designed to determine whether the blast’s shock waves could be distinguished from earthquakes. Milrow, the second (1969), and Cannikin were part of the U.S. anti-ballistic missile development program. Amchitka and the Bomb looks at how these nuclear explosions were planned and conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission, in spite of vehement protests by political and civilian groups. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of a new generation of weapons, the government defended the nuclear tests on Amchitka as providing U.S. presidents, and especially Richard Nixon, with negotiating power to force the Soviet Union to accept a satisfactory arms limitation agreement. Dean Kohlhoff traces the enormous environmental impact of the blasts on the Aleutian wildlife refuge system. He also examines the social and political fallout from the tests on Aleut civilian populations. As the tests inexorably went forward, an emerging environmental movement was galvanized to action. Passionate but ultimately futile attempts to stop the blasts were made by such nascent groups as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and the Wilderness Society. Although Alaskan Aleuts sued to halt Cannikin and environmental groups joined them for an injunction against the test, a split U.S. Supreme Court eventually approved the 5.1-megaton explosion. Amchitka and the Bomb tells a harrowing story of the struggle of private citizens and small environmental groups to counter the weight of the federal government. It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the nuclear history of the United States. Its concise interweaving of the military, scientific, economic, and social implications surrounding the nuclear explosions on Amchitka Island exposes the unpleasant consequences of allowing treasured national values to become victim to political necessity. Kohlhoff has contributed a vital chapter to Alaska's history and to the history of the American environmental movement.

Historical Dictionary of the Kennedy-Johnson Era

By: Richard Dean Burns,Joseph M. Siracusa

The recent commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s election as the thirty-fifth president of the United States serves as a reminder of a period of time that many Americans perceive as idyllic. Just as his election, despite a near-run thing, had instilled a pervasive sense of hope throughout the country, his assassination stunned the entire nation, scarring the psyche of a generation of Americans. More than half a century later, JFK continues to inspire debates about the effectiveness of the presidency, as well as his own political legacy, making the senator from Massachusetts the object of many enduring myths: that he would have been one of the country’s greatest leaders had he lived, he would have kept the US out of a full-fledged Vietnam war, and that he was a martyr of right-wing assassins. His successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, who did get the US deeply involved in Vietnam while pursuing the social reforms of the Great Society at home and abroad, also casts a long shadow in the twenty-first century, as the nation continues to deal with poverty, racism, and social injustice. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Kennedy-Johnson Era covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, including the president, his advisors, his family, his opponents, and his critics, as well as members of Congress, military leaders, and international leaders. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about John F. Kennedy.

Present at the Creation: My Years in the State Department

By: Dean Acheson

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize With deft portraits of many world figures, Dean Acheson analyzes the processes of policy making, the necessity for decision, and the role of power and initiative in matters of state. Acheson (1893–1971) was not only present at the creation of the postwar world, he was one of its chief architects. He joined the Department of State in 1941 as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs and, with brief intermissions, was continuously involved until 1953, when he left office as Secretary of State at the end of the Truman years. Throughout that time Acheson's was one of the most influential minds and strongest wills at work. It was a period that included World War II, the reconstruction of Europe, the Korean War, the development of nuclear power, the formation of the United Nations and NATO. It involved him at close quarters with a cast that starred Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Attlee, Eden Bevin, Schuman, Dulles, de Gasperi, Adenauer, Yoshida, Vishinsky, and Molotov.

Radical Origins

Early Mormon Converts and Their Colonial Ancestors

By: Val Dean Rust

Val D. Rust's Radical Origins investigates whether the unconventional religious beliefs of their colonial ancestors predisposed early Mormon converts to embrace the (radical( message of Joseph Smith Jr. and his new church. Utilizing a unique set of meticulously compiled genealogical data, Rust uncovers the ancestors of early church members throughout what we understand as the radical segment of the Protestant Reformation. Coming from backgrounds in the Antinomians, Seekers, Anabaptists, Quakers, and the Family of Love, many colonial ancestors of the church(s early members had been ostracized from their communities. Expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, some were whipped, mutilated, or even hanged for their beliefs. Rust shows how family traditions can be passed down through the generations, and can ultimately shape the outlook of future generations. This, he argues, extends the historical role of Mormons by giving their early story significant implications for understanding the larger context of American colonial history. Featuring a provocative thesis and stunning original research, Radical Origins is a remarkable contribution to our understanding of religion in the development of American culture and the field of Mormon history.

Why I'm Investing in China

By: Dean LeBaron

It is more than ironic that the current so-called Great Recession has prompted various Western observers to turn a 30-year-old belief on its head. No longer do the pundits claim that China can only survive and prosper by adopting capitalism; now they look to China, with its growing economy and increasing demand for consumer goods, to keep capitalism itself from collapsing. China saw its growth falter in 2009, but it continued to grow nonetheless. Its expansion has recently picked up speed--even as Western nations continue to struggle. Evidence of the wisdom of continuing to invest there can be seen in the strength of its economic vital signs, with freight tonnage, electricity usage, and automobile sales all showing increases.
