"This is not about substance, this is about style," said Judd Weiss at the International Society for Individual Liberty World Conference on Market Liberalization in Bali. "Let's say you've got a car you want to sell," said Judd. "Imagine how it would impact the sale if at the same time, if you tried to explicitly convince your buyer that he's an idiot. Because that's what we do. That is the sales method of the liberty movement at the moment." According to Judd Weiss, the liberty movement could learn a lesson from companies that separate their engineers from their marketeers. "We're basically the engineers dominating the sales department."
In this series, Professor Don Boudreaux explores the question economists have been asking since the era of Adam Smith: what creates wealth? On a timeline of human history, the recent rise in standards of living resembles a hockey stick, flat-lining for all of human history and then skyrocketing in just the last few centuries. Without specialization and trade, our ancient ancestors only consumed what they could make themselves. How can specialization and trade help explain the astonishing growth of productivity and output in such a short amount of time—after millennia of famine, low life expectancy, and incurable disease?

U ovoj seriji, profesor Don Boudreaux istraživa pitanje koje ekonomisti postavljaju od vremana Adama Smitha: šta kreira bogatstvo? U vremeplovu ljudske istorije, nedavan porast životnog standarda podsjeća na hokejsku palicu, idući vodoravno kroz čitavu ljudsku istoriju, a zatim u nagli porast u samo posljednjih nekoliko vijekova. Bez specijalizacije i trgovine, naši drevni preci su samo troši ono što su mogli sami da naprave. Kako specijalizacija i trgovina mogu objasniti zapanjujući rast produktivnosti i proizvodnje u tako kratkom vremenskom periodu - nakon gladi tokom milenijuma, niskog životnog standarda, i neizlječivih bolesti?

"The business of business is to make money for its shareholders."
"Do the corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, have responsibilities in their business activities other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible? And my answer to that is, no they do not."
"Posao biznisa je da zaradi novac za svoje akcionare."
"Da li korporativni rukovodioci, pod uslovom da ostanu u okviru zakona, imaju ikakve druge odgovornosti u svom poslovanju, osim one da za svoje akcionare zarađuju što više novca je moguće? I moj odgovor na to je ne, nemaju."
“Let me be clear. You are entitled to nothing. You are entitled to nothing. America was built on the spirit of industry. You build your future. It isn't handed to you.” An excerpt by Frank Underwood, the fictional president played by Kevin Spacey on the Season 3 Episode 2 of the Netflix series “House of Cards.”
“Dozvolite mi da budem jasan. Vi nemate pravo ni na šta. Vi nemate pravo ni na šta. Amerika je izgrađena na duhu industrije. Vi sami gradite svoju budućnost. Ona vam nije data u ruke.” Odlomak iz govora fikcionalnog američkog predsjednika Franka Underwooda kojeg glumi Kevin Spacey, u 2. epizodi 3. sezone Netflix serije “House of Cards.”

Prema zadnjim podacima hrvatski javni dug, koji bi do kraja 2015. godine mogao dosegnuti kritičnu točku od 90% BDP-a, raste brzinom od 443,66 kuna u sekundi i do danas je narastao na gotovo 290 milijardi kuna. Svaki stanovnik Republike Hrvatske zadužen je za više od 67 tisuća kuna, a svaka zaposlena osoba više od 187 tisuća kuna.
Brojač javnog duga građani grada Zagreba će u narednim mjesecima moći vidjeti na pet LED displaya – dva na Trgu bana Jelačića, te po jednom na Cvjetnom trgu, Maksimirskoj ulici i na Vrbanima. Osim javnoga duga, građani će na Brojaču moći vidjeti i koliki je javni dug po stanovniku te javni dug po zaposlenome.
