Is the minimum wage the most misunderstood concept in all of economics? – Pasadena Star News
One basic misunderstanding is to fail to distinguish between a private firm raising its wages paid, and a law compelling all and sundry to do the same.
Unhappily, this rookie error was committed by no less than the New York Times, the supposed newspaper of record. Recently it blasted out this headline: "When Amazon Raises Its Minimum Wage, Local Companies Follow Suit; New research suggests that when big companies increase wages, they drive up pay in the places where they operate — without a notable loss in jobs."
'Home Economics' Review | Hollywood Reporter
ABC's promising-if-unformed new comedy Home Economics wants to be a timely show about the importance of family in a precarious post-quarantine world, when it's actually a comedy slightly out of sync with its time.
Home Economics is launching at least a year late, since it could have been hailed as the best comedy in a midseason 2020 pack full of shows about how family is the best cure for economic insecurity. Through three episodes sent to critics, it's leaps and bounds better than Outmatched , Indebted , Broke and United We Fall , a quartet of half-season series that even TV critics may not remember.
IMF's $650B currency aid won't save indebted countries: Economist
LONDON — The International Monetary Fund looks set to issue $650 billion in currency aid to countries hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, but those with unsustainable debt burdens may struggle to reap the rewards.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen indicated last week that the U.S. is on board with the allocation of Special Drawing Rights, which are reserve assets that countries can use to supplement their foreign exchange assets, such as gold and U.S. dollars.
How Bidenomics Seeks to Remake the Economic Consensus - WSJ
Neoliberalism has since fallen from grace under former President Donald Trump and now President Biden. But where Mr. Trump's populism was never grounded in economics, Mr. Biden's embrace of bigger government is: not the economics of the establishment but of left-wing thinkers in academia and think tanks and on Twitter.
So while the successor to neoliberalism lacks a label, Bidenomics will do for now. Here are some differences between the old and new thinking, though this doesn't capture the breadth of views across both camps and in the Biden administration itself.
‘Home Economics’ Review: ABC Comedy, Topher Grace Stars | TVLine
Remember that Friends episode where Chandler, Monica and Ross want to go see Hootie and the Blowfish, but Rachel, Phoebe and Joey can’t afford to? It’s notable, not only because Monica ends up making out with a Blowfish, but because it directly addresses a taboo subject on TV: money.
Most sitcoms act like struggling young artists can afford giant apartments in Manhattan and don’t bother to explain how; aside from a few exceptions like Roseanne , financial issues are the untouched third rail of TV comedy.

With millions vaccinated, rare side-effects of jabs are emerging | The Economist
The investigation of the suspected clots from the AstraZeneca jab has been a prime example of the challenge of sorting the signal of a vaccine's side-effects from the cacophony of medical emergencies that happen to millions of people every day. Vaccine-safety experts have two ways to untangle whether a rare medical problem is caused by a vaccine, says Kathryn Edwards of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The EMA's data as of March 22nd suggested that the rate of brain clots in people under the age of 60 who had had AstraZeneca's vaccine was one in 100,000—higher than would be expected normally. Precisely how much higher, though, is hard to tell. The rates of such rare and difficult-to-diagnose conditions vary a lot by country, age and sex.
