Economics of cheap
on Aug 03 in Economics tagged by Trevor HicksObviously vacation has reduced my posting volume, I guess nobody should be surprised.
Megan McArdle of the Atlantic magazine posts some correspondence from Ellen Ruppel, author of a new book CHEAP. What struck me was her comment that cheap consumer goods deepen disparity in wealth distribution. That strikes me as completely counter-intuitive. I look forward to reading more to see this point of view defended.
