Why Ukraine is not Iraq

I always opposed the war in Iraq, which I have written many articles about in the past. I support the U.S. killing Osama Bin Laden. If someone attacks a country, you should expect a counterattack. I also don t mind assassinations for the same reason. If America developed a reputation as an actor who just killed [ ]

A Proposal for Coin Reform

Coins value is far too low for how costly they are to produce and ease of use. If you actually tried to use coins to buy something, you d have to carry around several pounds worth of coins, which would be uncomfortable and difficult. This has been true for a long time, but the higher inflation [ ]

30 Page Introduction to Economics Outline

If I were training someone specifically in anti-trust, I d spend 20 pages on supply and demand and price theory, 5 pages on Structure Conduct Performance models, and maybe 5 pages on The Use of Knowledge in Society by Hayek.

Compensating Differentials and Warframe Weapon Balance

In Economics, there is an idea of a compensating differential in wages. It means that if there is an unpleasant aspect of a job, people will have to be paid more in order to get them to do it. More generally, if you want two options to be equal in value, if one of them [ ]

Broken Speedometers and the Zero Lower Bound

Imagine you had a car with a broken speedometer that could not go above 50 mph. The engine, breaks, steering, etc. all worked perfectly well but any speed above 50 would just register as 50 on the dashboard. Your car can techincally go faster than 50, but if you stop hitting the gas when it [ ]
