Sir,

Hello there. Firstly, I wholeheartedly praise the magnificent work done by you in exhibiting economic knowledge and demystifying it to us, the mediocre audience. Secondly, I seriously question one fact that you presented about capitalism and how it “inevitably causes monopoly”. I grew really surprised and perplexed the moment I read that in “The problems of Capitalism” of yours. If you reconsider, Capitalism with its competitiveness, equal free chances, and free markets with no intervention from a higher authority ( The government ) actually endeavour towards diminishing Monopoly. I would appreciate any rectification or additional information from. Thank you!

very intresting
Hello, I am an AP economics teacher in the US. We just adopted Krugman’s textbook for the AP. While drawing up a lesson plan for the Savings-Investment Identity, I found the following example in the book. Can’t seem to balance these numbers.
-2012 investment spending in US: $2,475.2 billion
-Private savings: $1,491.7 billion
-Government deficit: $ 1,109.7 billion
-Capital inflows: $446 billion
Book says there is a $17 billion dollar “statistical discrepancy”, but otherwise balances
I understand this principle very well and have taught it for many years, but can’t seem to reconcile these numbers. Any thoughts?
pleas sir
