Emperor Bernanke Has No Clothes - Michael Murphy Is Calling Him Out Everyone is worried about what's going on with the economy. The Powers That Be continue to frantically give away huge piles of taxpayer money to get the US moving again and they're not willing to see that the bridge in the direction they're heading has collapsed. Investment expert Michael Murphy, however, is doing what few seem willing to do: He's calling a spade a spade, dispassionately laying out the numbers and building a solid case for what is going to happen next in the US and world financial environments. (Hint: It's big and it's bad ) But it doesn't have to be bad for you. Why? Because after Murphy tells the hard-to-swallow truth, he presents easy-to-follow instructions on how to protect your assets, your family, and your future when the shift hits the fan. Murphy was one of a very small group that sounded the warning on the real estate collapse and the government's costly, ineffective response. He navigated his newsletter subscribers through the mess to a documented 148.5% gain in 2009, and continues to outperform the markets in 2010. And while most of that small group are now predicting deflation, Survive the Great Inflation gives you an abundance of facts, figures, charts and graphs to prove deflation is not the problem. It is high inflation that will demolish most people's finances and retirement if they haven't planned for it. Past government performance is no guarantee of avoiding future stupidity. In fact, maybe it's a formula for assuring it. You need to get a clear view of what's happening now and the exact moves you need to make that will allow you to prepare for and prosper through what's coming, no matter how extreme. That's nothing less than what Survive the Great Inflation has to offer. Michael Murphy, the leading independent technology stock analyst in America with 40 years of experience in the trenches, has put himself in the right place at the right time to know what is happening with the US and world economies. After graduating with honors in Economics from Harvard in 1963, he became a computer programmer in the nascent computer industry. He then took advantage of a fortuitous opportunity at American Express and made a career shift to technology stock analyst. American Express was a venture capital investor in a little semiconductor start-up named Intel, and Michael grew up along with Silicon Valley. He became Vice President: Investment Planning & Control for American Express Investment Management in San Francisco, then a Chartered Financial Analyst. Next, he spent several years at Capital Research & Management/American Funds as a Security Analyst and Director of Investment Statistics. Shortly after the introduction of the IBM personal computer, Michael foresaw the opportunity for individual investors and left Capital Research to found the highly successful California Technology Stock Letter, which later became today s New World Investor. He also has been Chief Investment Officer of three mutual funds and CEO of two software companies. Michael is an award-winning writer with numerous influential articles on finance, and he authored the business best seller, Every Investor s Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds. He has been a featured investment expert in Worth, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and Money, and appears on CNBC and CNNfn.

The term "West Britain" for Ireland was worn proudly by those loyal to the English Crown, but for patriotic Irishmen it was a slight. In Ulysses and Dubliners, Joyce presents the men of Dublin as reluctant but impotent citizens of West Britain rather than of Ireland.Ulysses is widely commemorated now on Bloomsday as a celebration of Joyce's native city. Ulysses in West Britain insists that Ulysses is not a salute to Joyce's Dublin or its citizens, nor a cry de profundis for its release from colonial oppression. Joyce's satire on Dublin and Dubliners is directed not at the oppressor but at his own fellow citizens, those he called sarcastically the "gratefully oppressed."When life in the Dublin of Ulysses isn't shabbily unheroic, it is an undivine comedy, laced with mordant Swiftian humor. Even the lives and deaths of Irish patriots are made objects of derision rather than respect. Joyce was wrong that there are no heroes and there is no heroism in Dublin or in ancient Greece. He was simply unable to see it. Though Joyce's work is fashionably presented as "post-colonial" in much recent criticism, post-colonial in any positive sense it is not.In Ulysses the heroic tale of The Odyssey is inverted to an anti-epic. Odysseus subverted an enemy city with a group of valiant men and a horse made of wood; Joyce does it to his hometown alone and unheroically with a devilishly ingenious explosive made from paper and print. Among other things, this book explores some ways in which he manages it.Michael Murphy is Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.
