Constitutional Economics - CE

Categories: Econ, Tax

What's fair in Econland? Like...what does the constitution or make-up or foundation of economics say this policy should dicate? Is there a Bill of Rights for...money? Maybe there oughta be.

Con-Econ more or less applies the precepts of constitutional law to economics in the gambit of trying to fairly allocate precious resources in a given defined boundry. At its heart, a huge part of politics revolves around the fair disbursal of opportunity to make...money. So when it comes to "constitutional economic policy," discussions probably have to start with your local politician.

And yeah, that's a problem. Most are about 200 SAT points shy of being able to have an eloquent conversation on the topic. So...keep voting, America. Eventually we'll get it right.
