IT’S THE RATE OF PROFIT, STUPID

ERRATA: I have changed a sentence in the article – from the balance sheet it is then revalued based on the expected discounted cash flow to the balance sheet it is sometimes revalued based on the expected discounted cash flow. Revaluing assets on the balance sheet is not an automatic process as implied in the first sentences. ‘Mark to market‘ as this process is known is at the discretion of the board of directors.

People v the establishment? Farage is the establishment

I wrote a satirical piece on Farage. It is based on his resignation speech where he boasted of empowering 5 million tax paying Brits to vote while going on to praise tax dodgers funding his party Reform. You cant make it up. Here we have a party funded by tax dodgers seeking to help local tax payers vote. The man is a fraud and more and more voters are recognising this. IPSOS found almost two-thirds (63%) of Brits said they are “dissatisfied” with the Reform UK leader in June 2026 compared to 49% in June 2025.

WHY THE US HAD TO END THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ BLOCKADE?

In this article I have not dealt with the pulse of capitalism – profits. I have recently provided a number of graphs and tables showing that US non-financial corporate profits are at decades highs and with it the rate of profit. The reason I have not done so, is because it is in the balance whether these profits can be sustained, especially in the face of growing Chinese competition. For example the majority of start ups in the US are using cheaper and more flexible open source Chinese AI software models to save scarce capital, rather than the over-priced but sill loss making proprietary US models such as CHATGPT.
