Economics - February 2007

Wal-mart has located itself just out of town now no one visits the downtown area, most small businesses have gone under.

Kids leave just out of high school and never return.

Help! It's my home town and I'd like to see it survive!

Americans love their cars, but the supply of oil is limited and will become increasingly expensive. The current patterns of transport and settlement cannot be sustained for more than a few decades. The domestic auto makers Ford, GM and Chrysler are faltering already. Should governments shift infrastructure investments to new modes of transport before the oil runs out?. Note that roads are a public subsidy to the auto industry. (A subsidy to domestic manufactures might be justified, but a subsidy to foreign manufactures is questionable.) Would investment in rail, for example, be a better long term investment of public funds? What will happen to suburban real estate as transport costs escalate?

A vast number of important inventions that changed the World came from the UK. But we sit here and calmly watch as other Countries get rich on them. I know we got rich on our inventions in the past, but why not today?

This request, dated 10 July 1997, is in respect of the imposition of anti-dumping duties by the US on imports of colour television receivers (CTVs) from Korea. Korea contends that the US has for the past twelve years maintained an anti-dumping order for Samsung’s CTVs despite the absence of dumping and the cessation of exports from Korea, without examining the necessity of continuing to impose such duties.

This forum serves as a constant reminder of the incredible ignorance and stupidity so many people display about economic issues. Is that a tangible problem? Would it make any improvement in the economy itself if the people within it had an informed, rational mastery of mainstream free market economics? Or, at the micro level do individuals still behave rationally despite all the idiotic things they believe and say?

Example: so many people have a fear and loathing of "worthless" fiat paper money. Yet I'm guessing these same people are happy to get their hands on this worthless paper money and even work 8 or 10 hours a day to acquire as much of it as they can.

For example, would a $20,000 loan increase the money supply by that amount or would it be more than $20,000 due to a money multiplier (like 1/required reserve ratio)?
