wealth strategies

iamct01 asked:


Back in the 30s we had an industrial might and made what we consume so FDR`s spending was backed up by our industrial might but today we don`t have the wealth to back up our debt, we don`t have an industrial might, it is in China etc. This is why I worry about Obama`s spending this time. Should Obama bring back tariffs that Reagan lifted back when Wal-Mart had a made in the USA slogan.

nauyxdyk asked:


Most of my class mates during the ’40s were ex-service men. Surveys conducted then and later indicate the overall wealth of the nation improved significantly. Since the current administration’s emphasis on health and education in the Stimulus Package the result should see a dramatic increase in personal wealth. The GI Bill was a great thing for our country. I suspect the Stimulus Bill will be the same. The past is prologue.

Randolph asked:


I know of one…

Large bankruptcies routinely move hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth from investors and company pensions to so-called “secured creditors”. However counter-intuitive it seems that bankruptcy would be a SOURCE of wealth transfer, it is what it is.

Does anyone, especially the economists out there, know the other nine?

Ben B asked:


I’m a big fan of Wikipedia, it’s my main page and I’ve spent hours and hours reading articles. I was reading about Wikipedia in the article Wikipedia when I read this:

“In a study of Wikipedia as a community, economics Ph.D. student Andrea Ciffolilli argued that the low transaction costs of participating in wiki software create a catalyst for collaborative development, and that a “creative construction” approach encourages participation.”

So that got me thinking, intellectual constructs are a form of wealth, just think of all the intellectual copyrights out there. But how do you measure the wealth and intellectual property generated from a project that’s never been sold? How much richer is the world and each individual when they benefit from an Open-source project?
