| For those not familiar with John’s latest project, it is called "Conversations with John Mauldin". The most recent Conversation was with Gary Shilling and Donald Coxe. Previous Conversations included the views of Chris Whalen on the banking crisis, Lacy Hunt and Ed Easterling on the fundamentals of the economic crisis, and Nouriel Roubini. Audios and transcripts of the Conversations are being produced. Although an annual subscription for eight Conversations retail at $199, I have negotiated a special price of $149 (-25%) for Investment Postcards readers. To find out more, just click on the image above and enter code JM55 (at the end of the form), which will give you the discounted price. |

I think the most interesting stat in there is the Marshall Plan, which was instrumental in bringing Europe back from imminent economic & social collapse … when you compare it with some of the other figures …it’s jaw dropping to see how much money is being spent with v little result.
