Rethinking Economics


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted May 23, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

The BBC wrote a piece on the failure of economics. “Many non-economists will say that the economists must have been stupid not to realise what was wrong with their subject. All that I’ve set out here should have been obvious,” the article commented. Indeed, the field of economics has been really a disaster because people are still trying to manipulate it and create the land of Utopia. They assume the power to control and eliminate the business cycle exists, which began with Karl Marx.

We have people focusing on the disparity of income who argue that is the whole problem. Nobody seems to have a mirror or is willing to just look at themselves. Nobody will even question why governments are borrowing year after year with no intention of ever paying anything off. We constantly have fights over raising debt ceilings that will always have to be raised. The question is never asked: “Do we have to revise both the monetary system and the political system to prevent massive civil unrest?” This battle waged by the left to subjugate the right only leads to violence.

Sweatshop Wages and Third-World Workers: Are the Wages Worth the Sweat?


Published on Jun 7, 2011

Prof. Ben Powell discusses the economics of sweatshops. He begins with a few photos and personal travel stories to demonstrate typical working conditions in third world countries. He then discusses the economic forces that determine working conditions and wages. Looking at empirical data, he finds that sweatshop workers earn higher wages than non-sweatshop workers in their respective third world country. He concludes with recommendations to activists who want to actually help sweatshop workers. Credits: This lecture was delivered in 2009 at the Metropolitan State College of Denver School of Business, as part of the Exploring Economic Freedom Lecture Series, directed by Prof. Alexandre Padilla. This video was produced and directed by Scott Houck, and edited by Adrienne Christy. Video production provided by the Educational Technology Center at Metropolitan State College of Denver.
