    I have been running the Curious Cat Management Management Improvement Carnival for several years and decided to start one on the investing and economics theme. I hope you enjoy the inaugural edition. If you like these posts you may also be interested in the Invest Reddit where a community of those interested in investing submit and rate articles and blog posts.

    • Case-Shiller: Is it Really THAT Bad? by Stan Humphries - “Unfortunately, in combining both foreclosures and non-foreclosures into a single metric, you’re not really getting a good insight into either market. In the current climate, you’re underestimating the decline in value of foreclosed homes and overestimating the decline in value of non-foreclosure homes.”
    • This is unquestionably the worst global economic crisis since the 1930s by Brad Setser - “Both the IMF and World Bank are now forecasting an outright fall in global output in 2009… Anything below 2% [growth] is generally considered a global recession.”
    • Value Added Tax (VAT): The Pros and Cons by Eric Stinson - “The VAT is also a consumption tax, so there is incentive for you to limit your spending. Like the Fair Tax, if you spend less than you make, you’ll pay less in taxes (all else equal).”
    • Face To Face With The Deficit by Scott Bittle - “The public simply will not permit Washington to raise their taxes, change their health insurance, or cut programs without their consent. Nor should they. But the public should understand the rules, too. It’s not enough to complain about red ink and then reject any possible solution.”
    • Confusing price discrimination - “Any way I think about it, the discount should either be to all consumers or to students for the entire day. Why would it be only to students in the afternoon?”
    • Leave Your Money in Your Retirement Accounts by Patrick - “At this point, the best thing you can do is stick to your retirement savings and investment plans. Continue contributing to your retirement accounts, make sure your asset allocation is set at your desired level, and don’t withdraw your retirement savings.”
    • Invisible Hands Explain Nothing: a response to a critic by Gavin Kennedy - “Indeed, Smith gives over 60 instances in Books I and II of Wealth Of Nations where the actions of individuals for their own ‘gain’ have less than beneficial consequences on those around them”

    A couple of my posts have appeared in other carnivals recently: California Unemployment Rate Climbs to 10.5 Percent in the Money Hacks Carnival and Add to Your 401(k) and IRA in the Carnival of Personal Finance.

    • Canada seen emerging from its biggest economic slowdown since the recession

      Canada is beginning to emerge from its biggest economic slowdown since the recession that ended in 2009. Output in the world’s 11th-largest economy probably grew at its fastest pace in two years last quarter, kicking off what the Bank of Canada projects will be a stretch of growth that will slowly chip away at economic slack.

    • Curious Cat Investing, Economics and Personal Finance Carnival #33

      Welcome to the Curious Cat Investing, Economics and Personal Finance Carnival. The carnival is published twice each month with links to new, related, interesting content online. Greece just voted for the party that wants to attempt to keep Greece in the Eurozone. We will see how that works. I don’t think the odds are great unless Greece is willing to substantially change their recent (last few decades) running of their economy.

    • Curious Cat Investing, Economics and Personal Finance Carnival #27

      Welcome to the Curious Cat Investing, Economics and Personal Finance Carnival. The carnival is published twice each month. This carnival is different than others in two significant ways. First, I select posts from the blogs I read (instead of just posting those that submit to the carnival). I think this provides readers a better selection of valuable material (many of the best blogs don’t take time to submit to carnivals). And second, I include articles when I think they are interesting.

    • How the Public Hurts Health Care Reform

      Lori Montgomery has a nice article on a perennial wonk dream: Funding health care, or even American government, through a Value Added Tax (more commonly known as a VAT, and best understood as a modified sales tax). This is how Europe funds its health care systems.
