I don't know that much about economics, but I keep hearing that the dollar keeps decreasing in value and about outsourcing of jobs. Other people have also brought up issues about gas prices and environmental effects. The future of social security and medicare are other issues. It seems to me like not too many people are optimistic about our economy. What do you think?

can someone help me with differentiation?


Utility (at optimum) is always = 0
if for eg, the utility function = 2x³y
du/dy = 2x³
and du/dx = (3)(2)x²y = 6x²y
and dx/dy = 3y/x

am i correct with my example?

Examples: Buy a $30,000 car to save the evironment from toxins; food is trash unless it's organic or bought in a "natural" supermarket; if you don't have a baby monitor, you're negligent. Also smokers are taxed the highest, ,even though they're often the poorest (yes there are luxury taxes for the rich, but not for such an "inelastic" good).

I'm in the middle of reading it but I think it's such an interesting book. Has reading it changed your perception on any of the issues it discusses?

Seems like you never actually "make" money in value.

I put in an inflation calculator $100 from 1970 to 2000 and the value today is $432

Then I put $100 in a 5% savings from 1970 to 2000 and the value was $436.

So what's the point?

Wouldn't the safer bet just be to buy gold and sell it later as the value would fairly remain the same. Plus the gold would be acceptable internationally if the value of the dollar plummets.

Am I thinking of this wrong??

Thanks.

I don't know; we're pretty materialistic.
We want it all, at the lowest prices...
And when we're finishing buying tons of junk Made in China, we've got credit card we may not be able to pay when our jobs are traded out to foreign soil...
we just love punishing ourselves!!
Seriously, though, what will it take to get back to basics, to fixing what we have, to not letting it break so badly in the first place?
Will Operation Green Planet or some such thing encourage us to stop putting so much in the dumps?
And to do that, to stop consuming and throwing out more and more junk?

Dole Chiquita and Del Monte control 95% of the world's banana industry. They pay their Honduran workers .48 cents an hour. I am an advocate of globalization and see it as the driving force of the world's economies for the next 50+ years. But, I do believe these sort of wages, not to mention unhealthy working conditions are inexcusable? Am I right?
