Fast Food Economies

Jobs and Wages

Posted on February 27, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if the government wants more jobs in our economy, all they have to do is cut job destroying regulations and taxes. While this is not a new idea, or a particularly novel one, … Continue reading →

Incentives, in the Long and Short Term

Posted on December 19, 2013 by john

John Kennedy’s Legacy

Posted on November 25, 2013 by john

The Deflation Bugbear

Posted on November 10, 2013 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, when economists worry about deflation it is like a doctor worrying about a runny nose, they both are concentrating on a symptom, not the underlying disease. The consensus among economists is that deflation … Continue reading →
