Robert Shiller and "winter on the family farm" as a metaphor in tough economic times instead of "tightening the family belt"
01/27/2009
Shiller cites the "balanced budget theorem" of Salant and the economist Paul Samuelson during the FDR period. This showed that with taxes and expenditures going up during tough economic times the higher output leads to national income increasing by the amount of the tax. French president Hollande's plan to hire 60,000 teachers is of this kind, says shiller, because the higher taxes on incomes over 1 million euros supporting the hiring would increase national income by that amount.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
