Real World Economics: Beefing about beef prices? Look down the food chain

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:14:51 GMT

Edward LottermanOne hears much beefing about beef prices these days.A recent online comment moaned about paying $72 for three New York strip steaks at Costco. We got a large beef roast and paid $48. What’s going on? Why are prices so high?The answer is simple: Many things. Teasing out the exact cause and effect takes time. But consider these factors:Price gouging by monopolies is the root of all inflation for the progressive Elizabeth Warren-Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic party. In one aspect and to a degree they are right, although the root causes of inflation remain in the Fed’s monetary policies.However, a government fixation from the 1930s through the 1970s on busting monopolies and punishing price fixing has swung 180 degrees — to government for the next four decades turning a blind eye to abusive market power. In that time, there was a lot of consolidation and adoption of business practices that reduced competition and increased consumer costs in many industries.T...

Omar Harfouch denounces state anti-Semitism in Lebanon.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:14:51 GMT

Omar Harfouch, head of the secular initiative for the "Third Lebanese Republic" and a fighter against corruption, denounces Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati's anti-Semitic decision to cancel the Lebanese state's contract with French lawyers who are trying to recover Lebanese funds looted by the political class. These funds, passed illegally and hidden in European banks, were recently frozen because one of the Jewish lawyers correctly intervened, but with the implied excuse of religious affiliation, the PM cancelled the contract. For Harfouch, the whole world must shed light on Lebanon's racist, sectarian and anti-Semitic laws and decisions that persecute any Lebanese woman or man if he communicates, deals with or stands next to a Jew anywhere in the world. Discriminating against citizens on such grounds totally violates human rights, according to the UN Charter.
