Tonight at 8pm eastern, 7pm central time and then again at 11/10c, Russ Roberts and I will be appearing on C-Span’s “Q&A” program for a one hour discussion about our EconStories.tv rap videos, their success and the story behind them. It was a fun experience and the format provided for a broader and deeper conversation. There’s not as much economics and backstory (if I remember correctly), but I think it’ll still prove a helpful supplement to our work…
…but what the hell do I know?
Dear John,
I have recently
visited your site and wanted to get in touch as i work for the website
OilPrice.com and was hoping to speak about the information you are currently
showing.
We have just finished
creating some excellent free financial widgets and after looking at your site i
think they would be a great fit for you.
(There is no charge for using them and at
present there is nothing else like them available.)
The widgets cover almost
all energy and metal sectors: Crude oil,
Coal, Nat Gas, Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminium, Solar Energy, etc… We
also have some superb Government and
consumer debt tables and charts which look at World Debt, National Debt,
Consumer Debt, Mortgage Debt, etc..
All widgets are
interactive and are constantly moving – which adds to their interest and value
to visitors. They are superbly designed and the data provided would normally be
very difficult to obtain and especially difficult to package into meaningful
charts and graphs.
To see what we have
please take a look at: http://oilprice.com/free-widgets.html
The widgets focus
on:
Worldwide energy consumption (by country – figures updated every second)
Worldwide energy production (Crude oil, coal, natural gas, solar, wind,
updated every second.)
Gold holdings by country (US, China, UK, Switzerland. Constantly updated
and moving.
Precious metal production (Gold, Silver, platinum, copper, nickel,
aluminium, etc….)
US Debt clock (National debt, debt per citizen, debt per taxpayer)
US Debts (National debt, household debt, mortgage debt, consumer debt, etc….)
Alternative energy production (by method: Solar, wind, hydro, etc..)
World debt clock
Crude oil clocks
Oil & Gas news
+ More…
Installation is
incredibly easy as you just take the code by the side of the widget and paste
it into your site. There is also an installation guide to the right of the
screen.
Hopefully you’ll find
them interesting and valuable – and if you have any questions, problems or
would like us to tailor make one for you please do let us know how we can help
you.
Best regards,
James Stafford

Bryan Lamb, amazing guy, but he’s losing his memory a bit!
Great post and blog– enjoyed the videos and your contributions to the current economic discussions. What’s your opinion on John Taylor’s solution suggestion for the current debt problem? He recently blogged a summary on his blog: http://johnbtaylorsblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/way-out-of-budget-impasse.html
John,
How do you spot a true believer? They spell “government” with a capital “G”.
