This is a followup on the thread in which I asked you to express how you viewed the political economy. I asked you if you took a left wing, or right wing, approach. Here I propose a tail feathers approach.

...Have the "experts", ones with their lack of transparent terms. and ones with their charts and jargon, ruined the study of economics for you?

Perhaps it is the so-called experts who have made economics what Thomas Carlyle called it: "The dismal science"?

Can this trend be reversed? If so, how?
It is my humble opinion that the dismal science can become the science of peace, justice and joy. Just do a google on universalbartergroup and you will see what I mean.

With UBG we now have an economic syatem, a system which is tied in with our tax system in such a way so as to encourage barter trading in the same way that all trading is done.

As I understand it, the Canadian equivalent of the IRS (We call it the CRA--Canada Revenue Agency) is now willing to recognize tradeBUX as payment for taxes. This make economics a whole new ball game which brings the underground economy above ground to the benefit of all, not just the clever few.
