Popular economics : what the Rolling Stones, Downton Abbey, and LeBron James can teach you about economics
"John Tamny uses entertaining stories from sports, movies, popular culture, and famous businesses to explain the basic principles of economics. His Dollars and Sense is an everyman's guide to how money really works-a lesson politicians try (and fail) to grasp every day. "-- Provided by publisher.
Taxes. Taxes are nothing more than a price placed on work
When we tax companied, we rob them of their future
Government spending did not create the Internet, and has never created a job
It's the spending, stupid : budget deficits really don't matter
Capital gains are the elusive jackpot that drive innovation
The best way to spread the wealth around is to abolish the estate tax
Wealth inequality is beautiful
Savers are an economy's most valuable benefactors
Job creation requires perpetual job destruction
Bulldoze the Y.S. Tax Code
Regulation. Appalachian State almost never beats Michigan, and government regulation almost never works
Antitrust laws : the neutering of the near-term excellent
Don't dismiss college dropouts delivering alternative weeklies
Trade. "
Trade deficits"
are our rewards for going to work each day
Comparative advantage : could LeBron James play in the NFL?
"
Outsourcing"
is great for workers, and as old as the pencil
"
Energy independence"
would be economically crippling, "
global warming"
is a crippling theory
Free trade is the path to knowledge, liberty, world peace, and big raises
Money. A floating foot, minute, and second would give you ugly houses, burnt wings, and slow NFL draft picks
Do not be fooled by rising and falling computer, flat screen, and VHS prices : they are not an inflation or deflation signal
True inflation is currency devaluation, and it is a cruel blast to the past
If they tell you they predicted the "
financial crisis,"
they're lying
"
Do-nothing"
politicians deserve a special place in heaven.
