This book explains the history and thinking super concisely. But broadly, GOP needed a voter base that wouldn't question power of the state being handed over to private industry -- thus they won over the devoutly religious who wouldn't question anything beyond simple morality. Then beginning with Carter, and going full steam with Reagan, to escape 70's stagflation (rising inflation causing a stagnant economy) America rejected the economic theories of the preceding 40 years under Keynes and embraced slow but steady deregulation of all markets and public services, or at least everything they could, under the guise of "small government" and an ideal of the individual. Around the time of Clinton's presidency, Democrats could do nothing but sustain the cycle as Reagan had butchered much of what was previously under government ownership -- to turn the tide back would be far too costly and lose the election, as it would be a total U-turn of the country.
"Neoliberals" aren't some kind of "new liberal," exactly. It's a defined set of political and economic beliefs, based on property-relations and a fetishization of "free market politics" as a system of ethics. Please take the time to read up on it, it's real and horrible.
For example, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, and Hillary Clinton can all be accurately described as neoliberal, due to the economic policy decisions they pursue.

My friend recommended me this when I first started, but the truth is all the reading in the world isn't going to give you real-world experience. Start small, do your research, thorough research. Learn about greeks, IV, when to take profit, ect. Study the stocks you're interested in and know about, don't worry about trying to follow someone else's trades on a company you know nothing about.
Personally, I started small with 250 and made smart choices to bump it up to 2400 in three weeks, but I got cocky and didn't fully research an investment so I lost 1000 in one trade. If I had kept a level head I would have noticed that there was a significant short interest trying to drive the stock down and the low volume added fuel to the fire. Undervalued or not, hedge funds with billions to throw around can influence the stock price of most companies quite a bit, always be aware of that.
Once you gain some experience and understanding, day trading with the current level of volatility is pretty easy albeit risky at times. Just remember to not gamble with money you can't afford to lose. It may be boring but I keep about 5/6ths of my portfolio in equity that I rarely touch. For every one person you see on this sub that turns 40k into 250k on a MU yolo, there are ten others that turned their 40k into 0k. Be smart and goodluck!
> As this report notes, in 1980, these three sectors [healthcare, housing and education] accounted for 25% of total national spending — today, they account for more than 36%. They also account for most of the total measured inflation over this period. And without inflation in these sectors, real annual productivity — defined as GDP per capita growth — would have been an estimated 3.9% instead of 1.7%
In other words, it's three sectors that were resistant to containerization and Amazonification which are damaging the economy. Everything else got cheaper in real terms because the shipping and handling costs went way down.
The economists at the Fed interpreted this cost reduction of everything else as "inflation is low" because of how inflation is calculated, and ran low interest rates for far longer than they should have, plus QE on top of that.
This had the effect of raising the actual rate of inflation, causing what we perceive as "cost disease" in the sectors that didn't benefit from the colossal decline in shipping and handling costs. It's closing the barn door after the horse has left (and running danger of inverting the yield curve) to raise rates now; which might actually make things worse.
I'll read the rest of it after my workday, but the fact that the summary alone singles out those sectors as a drag on the economy suggests it might actually be on to something.
Read this book - https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861
As most bitcoin books are either technical in nature or written by journalists who don't understand it well. This book answers the "why" of bitcoin, the economics and monetary policy that makes it so special.
Overview - https://medium.com/@jimmysong/why-bitcoin-works-fe32879a73f5
Do you honestly believe that if a billionaire makes a dollar, that it somehow prevents you from making a dollar as well? Do you think that there is legitimately a finite amount of money in this world? Do you think that billionaires actually have a scrooge mcduck vault full of all their billions? Cause if you've answered yes to any of this I recommend you read this book :
https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Common-Sense-Economy/dp/0465022529
Don’t trade. That’s gambling & speculating. Buy a bit of Bitcoin as a long term insurance against existing fiat system and just sit on it.
Or invest by doing some research. I recommend this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861
Option Volatility and Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques, 2nd Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071818774/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_06VNJSD6Y5PX7GKD0SF8
Can’t recommend this one enough. I’ve read it multiple times and always come back to it if i have questions.
You need to show them first why there is a problem in the first place. Show them the history of currency and fiat, the fall of the gold standard.
I've been learning the indicators one at a time. The thesis is, traders watch these levels to time trades. 🤷♂️
This book is the 'bible' but I haven't bothered to read it.

I'm sure a youtube search will find any number of results.
For learning, honestly, I just look at charts that people make who have been doing this for awhile and learn from them. I like Patrick Ceresna a lot.
My approach is - look at a chart and draw some straight lines. This is a bit of an artform but starts to become easier once you look at charts a lot. Trend lines should touch the bottom of at least three candles (the fat part). Also, horizontal lines for historical support/resistances.
EMA - I'm looking at 20D, 50D, 100D, 200D and seeing which one is most significant. Basically - which EMA do the candles touch most often? Is it support (they bounce off and go up) or resistance (they touch it then go down)?
The "Pivots Traditional" can be useful but eh. VWAP and bollinger bands seem useful but I don't totally get how to set them up. Fib retracements I get but seems pretty "hocus pocus". MACD seems kinda useless to me for what I do. I don't understand why anyone cares about Elliot waves.
Most of the more 'advanced TA' is pretty hocus-pocus to me.
In speaking about neoliberalism, David Harvey argues that neoconservatives needed to build their platform and did this in part by appealing to evangelical Christians. I notice that other people have asked you to consider what you mean by religious people, but I'm guessing you're speaking specifically (or at least toward) evangelical Christianity. It's complicated, but as someone who studies neoliberalism I love Harvey's marxist interpretation of the phenomena.

'neolberalisme' ! lmao
est-ce que la nep de Lénine était du néolibéralisme pour toi aussi ?
If you read this i guarantee you'd reconsider your position. https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861
You're completely missing the point on what a non-sovereign money brings to the global marketplace. Do you do business internationally? Send money across borders ever? International banking absolutely sucks. What about the several billion people that are unbanked because it's a permission based system that they don't have the privilege to be a part of? How about you're living in a country like Venezuela, Iran, Turkey, Greece, etc that are experiencing hyper-inflation and seeing their savings absolutely devastated by poor economic policies instituted by broken governments?
If you think bitcoin is all about speculation you haven't done your homework. It's about taking back control of your finances and being your own bank.
Option Volatility and Pricing - Sheldon Natenberg
Can be a little heavy but for anything you can find on YouTube acts as a good fill in the gaps.
El mundo está adoctrinado a creer en el papel moneda. La política monetaria es controlada por los gobiernos y la manejan a su conveniencia.
Ahora que las criptomonedas bajan la barrera de entrada para muchos tipos de inversión, los gobiernos y los bancos centrales hacen todo lo posible por descalificarlas.
Pero no pueden. No han podido. Y no podrán.
Estamos ante un gran cambio de paradigma. Es difícil de comprender, por eso este sub (y la mayoría de las personas) le temen. Pero es el siguiente paso de la economía.
Y si llegaron hasta aquí (los downvotes dirán si llegaron o no), lean The Bitcoin Standard
Creo en las criptomonedas porque son una alternativa a la centralización y control. Sí, son riesgosas. Pero es el primer paso para que cada quien se vuelva su propio banco.
There's a great book called The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger
You can download it free here it's a really fascinating read about how influential shipping conatiner ships have been.

it's difficult af and you have to be able to follow along ito integrals and shit. But it'll give you a fundamental understanding.

in case you want to understand why that word keeps coming up. (it explained why a trump like figure rising to power was inevitable, while being released in 2007 which is kind of neat)
There's a Marxist called David Harvey who's been pushing that angle. He has a degree in geography but he's the expert on neoliberalism according to Breadtube.
People see his book and they're like "see, the word on the book says 'neoliberalism' and there's a picture of Ronald Reagan right there!"
learn the book the bitcoin standard

​
its simple on exchanges you have uncovered bitcoins and covered bitcoin.
if you take btc to you own wallet the coin can no longer be double lent it is out of the exchange suppley!
btc is limited , and CAN NOT be created out of thin air like bank can with fiat money.
Here is the bible for technical analysis! Only book you will ever need!
C'est le nom kitsch pour néo-libéralisme.
Je pense que les gens sont assez réducteurs et assigne le style de Trump aux politiciens qui font les cons sur les réseaux sociaux. La réalité, je pense, est que Trump et ses imitateurs sont le résultat découlant d'une politique initialisée il y as plus de 50 ans d'ici. Je conseille de lire le livre lié un peu plus haut.
If you’re interested in learning more about technical analysis, the best book by far is <em>Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets</em> by John Murphy. It is considered the bible of technical analysis.
If you are referring to the intra-bank transfers, Saifdean outlines it The Bitcoin Standard and this great talk. If something else maybe you could give me a question.
I think you're looking for this. It's basically the economic side of Bitcoin;
Neoliberalism understood by scholars pretty much just refers to a larger trend towards economic liberalization, rather than a specific set of policies. This is why is the ideology as popularly understood can encompass political figures ranging from Deng to Pinochet Economic liberalization like you said pretty much refers to favoring markets over government and overall increasing the role of the private sector in the economy. Austerity is somewhat related in that it accompanies this larger trend of reducing government spending but I wouldn’t really say austerity is a neoliberal thing- especially since it often accompanies raising taxes which is definitely not neoliberal.
This is great work u/amandamichelle90. I've been in this community for a few weeks, unaware of this amazing crypto universe being created before us, and the amount of HODL, DCA, fuck/shit, shit/fuck posts is overwhelming (underwhelming?). Thank you for condensing this glorious new world into something most folks can understand.
For community members that were not fully around for the Internet revolution in the late 90's, hold on this is going to be one amazing journey.
I was completely ignorant of what Bitcoin actually is (I thought it was for ransom ware, drug purchases, anonymous trading, etc.). After reading The Bitcoin Standard, whether Bitcoin survives or not, its a beautiful work of decentralized art.
I also didn't fully grasp the power of Blockchain technology until reading this article about Ethereum and everything that is being built under and on top of it.
Sure, it will be great to make money of these technologies and investments, but just as equally we can take part of this historical evolution/revolution in decentralized software.
