I feel like a lot of discourse around wealth taxes would go away if more people understood the difference between stocks and flows.

"...the relevant measure of a borrower’s debt burden is how that debt compares to the borrower’s own income, not the income of the broader economy."

Imagine telling people that your financial problems were solved because your neighbor got a raise. That's basically what we do when we focus on debt-to-GDP ratios.

Government "wouldn't really try and provide for everybody... provide pensions, provide healthcare for able-bodied people who are perfectly capable of earning and providing for themselves."
@CPopeHC from @ManhattanInst shares from his new book "The Way of American Welfare: Providing For Those Who Can't Provide For Themselves" how the U.S. government's welfare has expanded over the years.

That the world’s first trillionaire is an immigrant to the United States who arrived with little, slept on floors, worked 100-hour weeks, & built companies now employing the population of Savannah, Georgia, will be entirely lost on the bitter arithmetic of envy and economic ignorance masquerading as egalitarianism.
Now, as always: markets and entrepreneurship for the win.

Barack Obama once told Congress: "I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more.”
What would government look like if we took this principle seriously?

Everyone knows what conservatives don't like about the welfare state.
It's time for a right-of-center vision of what it *should* be doing:

We often talk about "classical liberalism" at AIER. Ryan Yonk gives a quick overview of what the concept does (and doesn't) mean.
