  3. Prof. Davies: Wired is WRONG - Billionaires are not Bad for the Economy

    Billionaires. Should They Exist? Politicians and content producers love to say they are bad for the economy.

    Attempting to debunk so-called myths, Wired launched a video, "Economists Debunk Top 5 Billionaire Myths" putting forth some misleading claims. It was so riddled with errors that we had to bring in Professor Antony Davies, Associate Professor of Economics at Duquesne University, to respond.

    As always, his insight was clear, logical, and backed up with data.

  4. Geoffrey West - Why Do Power Laws Work So Widely?

    Power laws relate diverse quantities in a defined numerical way, such that a change in one is associated with a change in the other according to specific formulas or equations, often expressed by the exponent. Why do power laws, or scaling laws, work over large orders of magnitudes and among radically diverse fields in the physical, biological and social sciences? How do power laws relate to general systems theory?
