Essential Economics for Politicians

Watch out now, along that line of thinking you are almost repeating Trump from back when he claimed to think Perry was a joke . . . then he appointed him due to lack of volunteers.

The Most Important Invention You Never Thought About

It was the container more than anything else, which made possible the huge growth in world trade.

The amount of goods on big container ships boggles the mind.

"This year's new class of container ship, the Triple E. When it goes into service this June, it will be the largest vessel ploughing the sea. Each will contain as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and have a capacity equivalent to 18,000 20-foot containers "

The ‘Fight For 15’ Is Another Tool For Big Businesses To Kill Competition

The Real Beneficiaries

For instance, if the minimum wage was $8 and the union wage was $40, employers give up 5 hours of low-skilled work for every union worker-hour utilized. But if the minimum hourly wage were increased to $10, employers would only be foregoing 4 hours of low-skilled work for every union worker-hour employed. Consequently, it is no wonder unions, whose self-interests are advanced whether or not low-skill workers benefit, are the primary backers of minimum wage campaigns.
