"How an Economy Grows and Why it Doesn't"


A pretty good comic book introduction to economics

Here's one to think about, via Maynard at Tammy Bruce's site. Yes, it's a comic book on economics.

I'm going to quote Maynard. Be sure to read the comments too. Emphasis in original.

A few words of background are in order. Irwin Schiff is a hard-line libertarian and a tax protester. He is currently in jail for refusing to file income taxes. I am not endorsing his actions, and I'm sad to see him get to this point. Do not follow his example.

Schiff's pamphlet is not the final word on economics, and you may take issue with some of his assertions. But reading it will give you a sense of the big picture that most people are lacking. For starters, you'll probably have a clearer understanding of the futility and waste of those government "stimulus" checks.

Irwin Schiff's website, sending us warm greetings and commentary from his prison cell, is at PayNoIncomeTax.com. (Please again note that I am not endorsing everything Schiff says, and I'm certainly not endorsing his tax protest.) Not being in a position to profit from them, Schiff has released a number of his copyrighted works, including this one, onto the web in his great giveaway.

Let me add that Irwin Schiff took a dangerous risk that hasn't paid off. Some of his ideas are a little out there. Some make pretty good sense. It's up to you to decide which should grab your attention.
