    So please illuminate my unschooled mind as to the wondrous success stories of free market economics. I'm a patient person, I assure you. -- kovie

    No, you do not seem to be. I gave a link to what banking is that would show you that your little insinuations that I support the odious Republicans are bullshit.

    Your first act will have to be to empty your mind of all the fantasies you learned in the government run schools that you attended. (even the private schools follow the public ones these days)

    Then start with something real easy and down to earth. Try "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" and then tell me what part you can not agree with. (they say it is suitable for as low as grade 8, but many professional read it as well)

    Review: "Maybury's forte is explaining economics in an interesting, logical, and easy-to-understand manner no small achievement in economics pedagogy. Equally important, the economics in 'Whatever Happened to Penny Candy' makes such good sense. When government's economic policies make us say 'uncle,' let's hope it's 'Uncle Eric,' Maybury's letterwriter and alter ego." --John G. Murphy, Ph.D., President, National Schools Committee for Economic Education (commenting about the previous edition)
