It's really an eye-opener to see a calculated 93% marginal tax rate (even if the scenario is drastically simplified, e.g. changes in tax rates over time are not considered, nor is the addition of principal after the first $1 calculated). The real-world losses would be even larger, i.e. he's presented a good-case scenario and the results are horrifying.
Excellent timing on that Mankiw link thomas blair, thanks for that...
What I miss in economics blog scene is blogs that are updated just 3-4 times a week. Current blogs require full time followers. I would prefer fewer posts with deeper analysis rather than numerous 'link posts' which usually contain links I have already seen.
correct me if I am wrong please
USA GPD first half of 2008 was at an all time record high
In third quarter GDP declined, by less than one tenth of one percent
And this is an unprecedented catastrophe?
http://www.doctorhousingbubble.com/offers some good insights.
Mish's Global Economic Trends is another must see.
