Economics becomes uninviting and confusing instead of more like a social science its more like a dry prefabed statistical analysis program.
This turns most people who should and could and ought to be actively engaged in important local or national economic discussion and understanding into wanting to zone out in front of time, energy, and money wasting past times.

Am I wrong? If so how and why? Am I right?
Where do I get this perception?

Economics is pretty dry and I'm trying to tackle the subject of what is perceived to be accepted as "unanswered questions" of importance in economics.

My main question is: Where can I find objective and unbiased answers and views to common questions in economics understood as being "unanswered"? (where on the net in particular if possible)

I'm trying to comprehend the big "controversies." Thanks for telling me where or including your own commentary.

Well the government has been tossing subsidies on oil for a long time now, and almost none for new perpetual energy such as wind or biofuels. As the next 50 years roll around oil reserves will no longer meet the demand of the world,and the cost of extracting will exceed that of the yield. So what are we to do? The argument that we cannot support alternative fuel source programs currently due to lack of money is bogus. Why not shift out subsidies of fossil fuels which will depelte and put them into the alternative fuel sources, viola, it's been payed for. Which alternative fuel sources will meet the similar demand oild has. Hydrogen? Solar? How about coal burning and electiricity? We have plenty of it, but how much longer is the atmosphere going to take a beating? Do we implement wind? Wind turbines destroy the landscape view for people i think is a popular argument. We can build those out at sea too :). So how will we face this crisis. Food for thought.

It seems from the answers to the question about "sharing the wealth", it seems that Americans believe that all who have nothing are lazy and the concept of sharing the wealth seems to scare the ones who still have jobs....Do they not know that the Walmart and the McD's, and in Canada Tim Horton's, economy is rising faster than any other sector of the economy and corporate wages are rising as fast while the middle class jobs like General Motors etc are disappearing? And certainly listening to the world's greatest source of news, sic sic, they must know about "outsourcing"?

Is it true that oil can only be bought with U.S. dollars? If this is so, then is it true that the price of oil going up is a good thing for the U.S. economy? Wouldn't that increase the strength of the U.S. dollar?

Everything that is made is made from things that, at one stage, belonged to no-one (or everyone, depending on how you look at it). Unpaid homemakers educate and socialize children--without their work, the economy would not function. So why doesn't everyone have a share of the public wealth by right? Rich people enjoy unearned income through (e.g.)share dividends and inheritances. Why not everyone?

Crude oil prices are the major determining factor in the price of a gallon of gasoline. I think the government is investigating the wrong question. Not manipulation of gasoline prices by oil companies, but rather manipulation of crude oil prices by the market. Large investment companies are manipulating crude oil prices.
