I read the "Wealth of Nations" once in college. Haven't read it since. While he gets big points for being ahead of his time, it's not that useful a book compared to others about the free market and the principles behind it.
If you say I don't know much about the type of economic theory that involves M1, M2, and the kind of things that a degree in economics teaches you, you'd be right.
What this type of education does is create economic experts along the lines of Robert Reich, who once recommended indexing the minimum wage to inflation. It creates economists who really see no reason why socialism can't work, if you just do it right.
BTW, just curious...without having to name any numbers, did anyone pay a higher tax bill than I did this year?
