The Evolution Of US And UK Central Banking: An Infographic Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/03/2012 21:50 -0500 Federal Reserve United Kingdom Investors once knew: Focusing on assets without understanding monetary matters can get you into trouble. They have since forgotten this. Ironically, then, there’s great value in remembering it. As “Vermont Ruminator”, Humphrey B. Neill, wrote in The Art of Contrary Thinking: is a study in itself and one which still confuses the great minds of the world... ...because monetary problems are not comprehended by the public or by the average businessman, “money management” will continually cross up public opinions concerning economic trends... ...If you make it a point to become posted on some of the more common practices of monetary management you will …be able to discern trends that are opposite to those commonly discussed... This addogram delves into the evolution of the two most prominent reserve currencies of the past 350 years: The pound sterling and the dollar. It features visualizations of a collection of extremely rare (if not entirely unique) data-sets . The Bank of England’s assets and liabilities since Robert Peel’s Bank Act of 1844 (monthly). And the Federal Reserve System’s assets and liabilities since shortly after its creation (weekly). The yield, equity index and gold price section goes back as far as 1840 . This pairing of comprehensive monetary and asset price data gives the addogram an intensely practical feel. Click chart below for huge version...

More Evidence: The American Dream is in Trouble Posted on September 6, 2011 by Michael Morrison The Pew Charitable Trusts released a new report this morning, Downward Mobility from the Middle Class: Waking up from the American Dream, reveals troubling indicators associated with economic mobility. The major findings include: A middle-class upbringing does not guarantee the same status over the course of a lifetime. Marital status, education, test scores and drug use have a strong influence on whether a middle-class child loses economic ground as an adult. Race is a factor in who falls out of the middle class, but only for men. Differences in average test scores are the most important observable factor (of those considered in this report) that accounts for the large downward mobility gap between black men and white men. There is a gender gap in downward mobility from the middle , but it is driven entirely by a disparity between white men and white women. Drilling down into the report we find more specific information, which I quote liberally: A third of Americans raised in the middle class—defined here as those between the 30th and 70th percentiles of the income distribution—fall out of the middle as adults. Marital status, education, test scores and drug use have a strong influence on whether a middle-class child loses economic ground as an adult. Compared with married women, women who are divorced, widowed or separated are between 31 and 36 percentage points more likely to fall down the economic ladder. In turn, never-married women are 16 to 19 percentage points more likely to be downwardly mobile than married women. Men who are divorced, widowed or separated are 13 percentage points more likely to drop out of the middle class than are married men, and men who have never married are 6 to 10 percentage points more likely to fall than married men. Men and women raised in middle-class homes are generally more likely to fall out of the middle if they do not obtain education beyond high school. Race is a factor in who falls out of the middle class, but only for men. There is a gender gap in downward mobility from the middle, but it is driven entirely by a disparity between white men and white women. Only among whites are women more downwardly mobile than men: Thirty percent of white women fall out of the middle class, compared with 21 percent of white men. Black women experience less downward mobility than black men, and Hispanic men and women have nearly identical chances of falling from the middle. Differences in average test scores are the most important observable racial difference in accounting for the large downward mobility gap between black men and white men, but none of the factors examined in the report sheds light on the gap between white men and white women.
