"For more on this, see Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations'. 200 years later, the world still hasn't learned."

Right. As I read the 'Wealth of Nations', I thought that every news-person who was going to spout off about the economy to the general public should first be required to read and demonstrate a basic understanding of 'Wealth of Nations'.

Or at least read Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, so that they aren't just thoughtlessly parroting socialist talking points. I mean, it's less than 200 paperback-sized, large-font pages, and the complete .pdf is linked to in my about page.
