An Immigration Tax
In this video reflecting on a CATO podcast, I talk about the idea of a tax on immigration and the effects it may have on the economy as a whole.
Routine Consumption and Unemployment Benefits
In this video I discuss how to prevent a decline in growth or to create sustainable group, you don’t need to increase random or short run consumption patterns but cause an increase in routines that are sustainable for at least as long as new independant routines can replace them. If routines dissapate faster than new ones exist economic activity whether production or consumption will decrease.
Explaining Interest Rates and Yield Curves
In this video I help explain the concept of interest rates and yield curves so people can better explain economic concepts.
