I'm going to call this the competitive wage theory. I will say that if countries compete in paying their citizens the cheapest wages and benefits with the job that the country will produce those resources and industrialization is bound in that country. An example is China workers versus USA workers. China workers get paid less, so industrialization is more common there than here in the USA. Whoever loses in the competitive wage theory is bound to create another facet of employment from the products produced from industrialization of those products. We see it today that USA is a service economy, no industrialization, but tons of salespeople. Our labor does not pollute, but persuades. Their labor doesn't persuade, but pollutes. Me personally, I think industrial jobs are harder work, but you should be getting paid more so the government of China did not create strong currency rates of employment so the more expensive work is in China.

How is inflation low when I am paying more for food, gas, building materials and everything else while my salary has remained the same? My dollar buys me less and prices continue to rise.

The problem that the entire developed world will soon face is demographic graying: an older population, with many retirees. The burden of supporting the retirees will fall on a smaller number of workers, a burden worsened by medical progress that keeps the elderly alive much longer at much greater cost. What policies might relieve this burden?

Capitalism is cyclic, we're due for a recession. Wouldn't it be better to just let it happen so we can recover, rather than taking little steps to keep it at bay so when it finally does happen, it's 10x worse to get out of? We've been teetering on the edge for several years now, and the economy has just gotten worse, the housing market, inflation, etc. Just curious as to what others think.

The rise of China and India is fueling renewed debate about the distribution of costs and benefits from globalization. What are the arguments for and against free trade? To the extent that there are pressures on unskilled workers’ wages and progressively on the middle class, is protectionism a desirable response? What are the main counter-arguments? To what extent does the post- World War II bargain informing “embedded liberalism” continue to make sense?

In what way do in-kind transfers affect the measured poverty rate?

A. In-kind transfers are usually given to families living above the poverty line and therefore don't help alleviate poverty.

B. Since in-kind transfers increase the volatility of the life cycle, they increase the measured number of families living below the poverty line.

C. If in-kind transfers were included in income, the measured number of families living below the poverty line would decrease.
