Economics: No Longer A Science

... But a propaganda tool. Here is a fine example of how special interests can take over a science with "political correctness" and other thought-control techniques. "This textbook, though excellent, only gets a 'C+' because it does not pander to my misguided views!" Seriously, read the reviews. You'll be disgusted.

The Sweden Plan

Sweden has been cutting taxes, balancing the budget, and raising interest rates all at the same time DURING A RECESSION. And has the Swedish economy spiraled into a depression? Nope. Quite the contrary, actually. The Swedish economy has experienced a 6.9% year-on-year increase in GDP. Interesting. Too bad Ben Bernanke and Barack Obama won't learn anything from this.
