For every Essential idea in economics, there is a corresponding Error. Here they are...Economics is about choosing. Every Choice Has a Cost. Incentives Affect People’s Choices. People Make Incremental Choices. Trade is Cooperation. People Are Rational. Cooperating in Markets is Costly, and Governments Regularly Make it Costlier. Profits Tell Businesses They are Helping People While Losses Tell Businesses They Are Wasting Resources. Choices Have Important Unintended Consequences. Second, the Errors: Economics is about money. It Doesn’t Cost Anything if You Don’t Have to Pay For It. Changing People’s Incentives Won’t Change Their Choices. Choices Are All or Nothing. Trade Is Exploitation. People Are Irrational. Government Will Fix Problems If We Get The Right People In Power. Profits are Greed. If It’s Bad For Someone Who Is Easy To Identify, It’s Bad For All." American Institute for Economic Research

Through its supervisory and regulatory banking functions, the Federal Reserve maintains the safety and soundness of the Nation's economy, responding to the Nation's domestic and international financial needs and objectives. The Federal Reserve System was established by the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 221), approved December 23, 1913. Its major responsibility is in the execution of monetary policy. It also performs other functions, such as the transfer of funds, handling Government deposits and debt issues, supervising and regulating banks, and acting as lender of last resort. It is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve System to contribute to the strength and vitality of the U.S. economy. By influencing the lending and investing activities of depository institutions and the cost and availability of money and credit, the Federal Reserve System helps promote the full use of human and capital resources, the growth of productivity, relatively stable prices, and equilibrium in the Nation's international balance of payments. Through its supervisory and regulatory banking functions, the Federal Reserve System helps maintain a commercial banking system that is responsive to the Nation's financial needs and objectives."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGv2ymqGznc Mar 10, 2021 About The Index For much of human history, most individuals have lacked economic freedom and opportunity, condemning them to poverty and deprivation. Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history. Poverty, sicknesses, and ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of economic freedom. In 2021, the principles of economic freedom that have fueled this monumental progress are once again measured in the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington's No. 1 think tank. For twenty-seven years the Index has delivered thoughtful analysis in a clear, friendly, and straight-forward format. With new resources for users and a website tailored for research and education, the Index of Economic Freedom is poised to help readers track over two decades of the advancement in economic freedom, prosperity, and opportunity and promote these ideas in their homes, schools, and communities. The Index covers 12 freedoms – from property rights to financial freedom – in 184 countries. The Heritage Foundation
