Michael Hudson: Naked Capitalism – Unmatched Insights into Late-Stage Barbarism

Since my introduction to this site and to Yves by Steve Keen over a decade ago, I have regarded it as a community of thoughtful individuals resistant to the economic distortions prevalent in mainstream news. This unique perspective is invaluable in today’s rapidly changing economic landscape.

It is crucial for me, and I believe for many others, that Naked Capitalism continues to thrive in its current form. No other platform comes close to offering the in-depth analysis and coverage that Yves and the recent contributors provide. I encourage you to visit the donation page to help sustain this exceptional site.

I often find myself turning to this site early in the morning, much like many of its readers, as it provides far more informative content than the politically skewed narratives of the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. The connections and insights available here are unparalleled, saving us the trouble of sifting through the usual distractions that overlook the most pressing issues.

Without the necessary funding to maintain Naked Capitalism’s broad scope, we would lose access to the diverse range of articles offered by both new contributors and the seasoned voice of Yves. There simply isn’t a comparable platform covering economic matters from such a distinctive perspective. This site is truly a crucial and singular voice addressing the tumult generated by today’s Late-State Barbarism.

For many years, I eagerly awaited Lambert’s coverage of Covid mismanagement every afternoon. KLG has carried on this tradition with his own Coffee Break updates, focusing on the clash between science and the anti-vaccine movement, which continues to pose a significant threat globally as diseases resurface. Thanks to the Covid experts at Naked Capitalism, including IM Doc and Ignacio, I’m constantly updated on vital research that underscores the seriousness of treating Covid as merely another cold.

Had it not been for Naked Capitalism, I wouldn’t have the time to delve into the intricacies of Trump’s efforts to utilize the digital currency bubble to manage U.S. Government debt and exploit resources in Latin America. Nick Corbishley’s insightful analysis of Argentina’s futile attempt to borrow dollars to combat depreciation illustrates how their debt crisis worsens after elections. He connects this issue with the latest developments in Venezuela and Colombia, as well as the impacts of the IMF’s austerity measures.

Conor Gallagher astutely covers the U.S. pressure on Mexico to compromise its agricultural practices, risking contamination of its superior domestic crops. His articles succinctly illustrate the broader U.S. ambitions regarding oil resources in Venezuela, Argentina, and potentially Azerbaijan, while also addressing the strategies involving Türkiye and Armenia, especially concerning the Zangezur Corridor and the Belt and Road Initiative. His comprehensive analysis ties together the escalating chaos in this region.

Conor has also been navigating the complexities of digital currencies, shedding light on government-backed initiatives aiming to control savings. I truly appreciate the concise coverage from Naked Capitalism, as it saves me from having to sort through this labyrinth on my own.

The quality of discussions in the comment section makes Naked Capitalism my go-to place for submitting my articles for consideration. The feedback I receive often leads me to new sources and enriches my writing significantly—something you won’t find elsewhere.

This platform is not operated like Substack or Patreon, making your contributions during this fundraising campaign essential for maintaining the site’s expansive coverage. Without your support, we would be left to scour for information ourselves, often missing critical insights that Naked Capitalism provides long before they bubble up to mainstream attention. Please help support this vital source of information by visiting the Tip Jar and making a generous donation.

I hope my appeal for contributions resonates with you as much as similar messages from other contributors have over the past few days. I trust that my late plea is as effective in encouraging you to contribute what you can. The mantra I grew up with, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,” rings true here. We need this site, and I believe in our collective capacity to ensure it continues its important mission. Again, please visit the donation page and give generously for the benefit of all of us.
