An Economy Runs Through It.

The last thread, that is.
I don't recall seeing the movie about the river,
was it about trickle-down?

This is, though.
Why You Want a Progressive to Be Running the Economy
The trickle-down, not the river.

On the other hand.
This is about the power of planning.
Ten Things You Should Know About China

The former is a good primer on the politics of economics, while the latter may be a more advanced course on freedoms and economic powers, not to mention foreign policy.

[Update- Because I just did not want to start another post- Going after National Security(nfr* - preemptively I will say that the Republican Rove machine seems to attack on the strength of their opponents, National Security and the Economy. But the reality is that they are attacking on their own weaknesses. Remember The Twin Towers? Remember the Deficit? And Foreign Affairs? Remember Saddam Hussein, the Bin Ladens, and other royal families?) From Doom and Gloom to Fear and Smear, is that a world we can believe in? OK, this is not too tightly linked to McCain, but is he really too tightly wrapped as the Maverick? Not to mention is the word "trump" coming up too much? Have we gone from poker to pinochle? ]
