Rethinking The Economy
from the everything-changes dept
A good analysis in Business Week about how last week's events could impact the economy. Mostly, they're talking about how increased public-sector spending will affect the rest of the economy. It's funny to see politicians who kept talking about smaller and smaller government suddenly agree to huge spending packages. The article points out that this is likely to hurt productivity, and risks making the US a very secure country, but with a very stagnant economy.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
