@Spawktalk, You didn't delete my "comment" you deleted our whole debate and blocked me. I didn't deny the way PPF curves are used. I pointed out that your putting money on one axis of the PPF curve and resources on the other axis is not the correct use of the PPF curve. Then to defend your assertion that the PPF curve applies to money

spawktalk is a waste of time, he doesn't want a real debate. I cornered him on his assertion that resources follow money. I told him that doesn't work, Weimar and Zimbabwe already tried that... Long story short, I made him look bad with his own Wikipedia citations, So he deleted our conversation and added me to his blocklist.

What's missing from Obama's claim is the distinction between marginal tax rates and effective tax rates. Corporate tax rates in the 1950s allowed generous tax deductions.

How would you solve the problem of ordering your society so that it functions without private ownership and without money? If your alternative to capitalism

EIRMOS (aka edaptmogen on TZM forums), The scientific method tells the Detroit auto worker the most efficient way to build a Coupe de Ville Cadillac with gold plated hardware. The economic system tells the Detroit auto worker whether or not he should build a Coupe de Ville Cadillac with gold plated hardware. It would be nice if the world ran on love

I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for? When more people join the workforce the economy grows. More women joining the workforce means more goods and services which they in turn can consume along with the rest of the population. The size of the "pie" grows.

" EIRMOS http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj16n2-7.html You give the impression of being unessecarily eltisit. You need money to plan?? Are you certain? Maybe Communism failed in the USSR b/c they probably weren't using the scientific method to arrive at decisions. Perhaps, it was b/c it was an elitist, totalitarian, and militant regime where

Apfel "Just-in-time and on-demand methods of production have already been referenced to. In other words, we stop producing when people stop ordering, just like in capitalism. Measuring demand is a similar technical process both in a free market system and a non-market society. You look at for opinions and trends. The only difference is the purpose
