8. Populism is a political doctrine.
The short, take home point, is that
in populism a person or group
sides with the people against the
elite. Dictators used this approach
to take over Germany and Italy and
bring about World War II.

consolidation of power in the
hands of a new elite.

USSR.

purpose. Will populism kill the
American economy? Could be if things
go too far.

Investments
By: http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/investing-trading/will-populism-killthe-american-economy

13. Basic to successful investing is the
ability to analyze the
fundamentals. One considers the
forward looking income stream of
a stock, its intrinsic value. If
intrinsic value is more than current
value a smart long term investor
buys the stocks.

14. If the reverse is the case he sells or
simply does not buy. Will populism
in the person of a debt default kill
the American economy? Smart
investors will likely sit on the
sidelines instead of risking their
money in uncertain markets.

15. If a debt default occurs the rating
of US debt will fall precipitously
making it much more expensive for
the USA to borrow through
Treasury bond sales. This will raise
the cost of servicing the US debt at
a time when Tea Party populists
claim that their goal is to reduce
the burden of US debt.

related. The nation needs to get a
handle on its spending but it needs
to do so in a rational manner. Will
populism kill the American
economy?

17. An old saying is that if good men
do nothing evil prevails. In this
case the evil may simply be pig
headedness and stupidity but the
result might be the same with a
terrible depression worse than that
of the 1930s. That would be the
killing of the American economy!
