Edward E Rochon: 188 books

The preface notes George Bush's attack on Reagan's economic policy as voodoo economics. My claim is that classical economics is essentially voodoo economics. The assertion that absolute and relative wealth (money) is the key to working out economic policy sets the goal of the essay. Chapter 1 attacks...

A brief preface reexamines Orwell's credentials as a better angel of our nature. Chapter 1 shows how Orwell's notions actually enhance totalitarian rule, sowing defeatism and despair rather than a clarion call to arms. His views on language, the motivations of Ingsoc coupled with his own suspicious...

A brief preface mentions the fear mongering on YouTube about America's imminent collapse. Chapter 1 discusses the basic value of money. Currency divided by goods supplies the unit of value. Counter to current business cycles, money actually deflates during boom time and inflates in recession. The...

Fiber optics and automation open the possibility for a binary city approach to life, one city for residence and one city for industry. One city is heavily populated; the other city is sparsely populated and distant from the residential city. A separation of pollution from populated areas will ameliorate...

A brief preface explains my motive for writing and a brief summary of essay content. Chapter 1 describes the three basic theories along with a fourth. One: Superiority Theory. We laugh to feel superior, laugh at others. Two: Relief. We have pent up energy that needs to be released, whether from anger,...

I point out the error of Thomas Hobbes in equating the prince with Leviathan and of parliaments with Behemoth. It is the other way around. Autocratic administration of the state is clearly the logical condition of good governance and true democracy. World history is dominated by the war between prince...

A preface notes the problem of EMF explanation due to particle and waveform attributes, the blackbody problem and Michelson-Morley.

I note the derivation of my idea in the preface. The first chapter suggests that we provide mosquitoes with blood or equivalents to breed with, dispensed from mosquito feeders. Their predators will keep the population down. Little predators will be eaten by bigger predators and all regulated by man....

A brief preface explains the reason for the essay. Chapter 1 describes a number of brain trauma events due to fights, toxins, suicide and their consequences. Chapter 2 mentions four lessons that I think could be learned from such misfortunes.

Some comments on economics and its effects upon society precede a suggestion for dealing with the topic of minimum wage. I suggest that the state guarantee minimum wage without imposing it upon businesses. This most likely would guarantee full employment. Full employment should cover the cost of the...

A brief preface opens up attack on Hitch. Note some comparisons between Hitch and Jesus, such as Christopher the Christ-bearer. Explain meaning of Hitch 21. Suggest Hitch fans change heroes' name to Lucifer the lightbearer to conform to his and your view of him. Chapter 1 hits Hitch on critique of...

An essay about truth and faith intertwining. The preface lays the matter out, notes the futility of delusion, and notes that these themes have been covered by the author in other essays. Chapter 1 shows that it is impossible to prove faith by experimentation or disprove it by logic. Chapter 2 points...

A preface explains the study of history as a purge of corruption from society and men. It notes the contrary view that sees history as food to enliven, build up and sustain culture. Chapter 1 states what history is, its logical justification, its difficulty in proving the events within it. It notes...

A preface notes the fascination with numbers and mystical meanings. Chapter 1 discusses the numbers: 7, 8, 11, 49, 50, 52, 63, 64 and 65 with respect to biblical and pagan ideas, and from the framework of timekeeping. I mention sacred squares of 7 x 7 and 8 x 8 with respect to biblical history and...
