The Big Mac Index - Applying Simple Economic Common Sense Simple ”quick and dirty” economic modeling can give powerful insight The Economist’s Big Mac Index has traditionally been thought of as an interesting yet dubious proxy for currency valuations and purchasing power. Mcdonald’s has a vast array of branches worldwide. Next to the Cola companies Mcdonald’s has, what might be, the most widely distributed common product worldwide: The Big Mac. The Economist thus ingeniously constructed the Big Mac Index which is a simplified model of purchasing power and currency value. The most beautiful economic models are very simple yet generate very interesting insights. The economic sense behind the Big Mac Index – Purchasing Power Parity Purchasing power parity, also known as PPP is a broadly used economic concept. The Big Mac is an ideal example for a sold good which should be priced the same in the many different countries it is sold in. Purchasing power parity is most commonly used in comparing living standards in different countries.
The Ring of Solomon Plot summary[edit] King Solomon of Israel, upon learning of Bartimaeus's murder of Ezekiel (the old magician who enslaved Bartimaeus) is insulted that a mere djinni is the perpetrator. To make Bartimaeus pay for his actions he commands Khaba, an Egyptian and another of the 17 to summon Bartimaeus into his service and punish him. The scene shifts to the Sheban capital of Marib where Balkis, the aforementioned queen, receives a message from a marid supposedly in Solomon's service: either pay a ransom of 40 sacks of frankincense or be destroyed, and gives her two weeks to pay. Back in Jerusalem, after being summoned into Khaba's service, Bartimaeus is commissioned to perform multiple degrading jobs including grain counting, sewage treatment, and artichoke collecting. At first Khaba and his foliot Gezeri directly supervise the initial stages of construction but after a while they stop showing up at the building site and the attitudes of the djinn grows lax.

Mind the Gap May 2004 When people care enough about something to do it well, those who do it best tend to be far better than everyone else. There's a huge gap between Leonardo and second-rate contemporaries like Borgognone. You see the same gap between Raymond Chandler and the average writer of detective novels. Like chess or painting or writing novels, making money is a very specialized skill. Why? I think there are three reasons we treat making money as different: the misleading model of wealth we learn as children; the disreputable way in which, till recently, most fortunes were accumulated; and the worry that great variations in income are somehow bad for society. The Daddy Model of Wealth When I was five I thought electricity was created by electric sockets. Because of the circumstances in which they encounter it, children tend to misunderstand wealth. In fact, wealth is not money. Where does wealth come from? Because kids are unable to create wealth, whatever they have has to be given to them.

Ten Recurring Economic Fallacies, 1774–2004 - H.A. Scott Trask As an American historian who knows something of economic law, having learned from the Austrians, I became intrigued with how the United States had remained prosperous, its economy still so dynamic and productive, given the serious and recurring economic fallacies to which our top leaders (political, corporate, academic) have subscribed and from which they cannot seem to free themselves—and alas, keep passing down to the younger generation. Let’s consider ten. Myth #1: The Broken Window One of the most persistent is that of the broken window—one breaks and this is celebrated as a boon to the economy: the window manufacturer gets an order; the hardware store sells a window; a carpenter is hired to install it; money circulates; jobs are created; the GDP goes up. The fallacy lies in a failure to grasp what has been foregone by repair and reconstruction—the labor and capital expended, having been lost to new production. Myth #2: The Beneficence of War In 1865, the financial question recurred.
