What Do They Teach in Economics at Harvard? Do graduates REALLY believe: *You can spend yourself out of debt;*The best way to cure poverty is to "tax the rich" andwealth will "trickle up" from the less successful;*Government can "create jobs" by spending your money for you;*Printing paper money will create confidence in the market; *Politicians are more trustworthy than business people; *That Socialism works or has ever worked;*Bureaucrats care more about you than your doctor does;*Socialized medicine that bankrupted other countries will somehow work better here?If this makes you feel uneasy, and you wonder: *Is Economics really that complicated?*Can "unsophisticated common folk" understand well enough to run their own lives?Dr. Holmes explains Economics in lighthearted plain language as he has for thousands of students. Read and explain to others: "No it isn't," and "Yes we can!"
