Not a blog but a "q-and-a" (pronounced "quanda"), this page is about the basics of economics. Its premise: there are no stupid q's. And if some a's seem dim, take heart: I can brighten them up in response to objections, corrections, refinements. Comments on posts feature yours, and my responses. Enough of you now frequent and query the quanda that I post most every day. Haven't seen your q yet? Send it again. All a's should be taken with a shaker of sodium chloride, if not a Lot's-wife's-worth. And speaking of salt, the mustache and "hair" in the photo has a lot less of that condiment, and rather more pepper, than can be seen on TV. Think of it as time travel.
Attention all teachers, viewers, readers, skimmers, and occasional passersby:
The second edition of our Economics-for-Everyone Web site, Making Sen$e, is now up and running. Please visit and please, please respond with suggestions as to what you'd like to see there. (More ladder gags? Less talking with my hands? More former presidents in funny hats?)
I'd especially appreciate your alerting teachers to the page, or anyone in the world of economics, business, and financial education. As I explain on Making Sen$e, we're in the process of assembling the best such materials from all over the world. But there are vastly more of you than there are of us. Your nominations -- the more humorous, the better -- will be taken very seriously. Even from those of you who don't find me amusing.
