December 03, 2008 – Comments (4) | RELATED TICKERS: BKS , BAMM

FYI -  I was searching on a website for some free books. I came across one of Ron Paul’s first books. I have not read this one, but I probably will. 

Gold, Peace, and Prosperity by Ron Paul

Here is the link to the Free Information Society.

Never have so many people in the world have access to so much information. The world is becoming more competitive, because of it. 

More and more people are learning English and competing for Western jobs with out leaving their countries of origin. (Ref The World is Flat, by Thomas Freidman)

During the first Great Depression in the 1930s, there was displacement out of farmlabor as machines replaced farm laborers. I would guess the internet is deflationary to many information related jobs and will make many jobs and college educations obsolete. How many retailers have had profit margins tighten due to Amazon.com and online shopping? 

FYI - Here are some more online libraries.
