What if this will not mean people will use more oil when it gets cheaper? What if this is THE beginning of the end for oil? You will only find out if you see it.
State of the Economy: What happened and when will it come to an end? Christop...ECPA Events

4. THE BABY BOOM, THE BABY BUST,
AND THE HOUSING MARKET
N. Gregory Mankiw and David N. Weil
Harvard University
• Written in 1988
• “ … real housing prices will fall
substantially over the next two decades.”
• “ … because the Baby Bust generation is
now entering its house-buying
years, housing demand will grow more
slowly in the 1990s than in any time in the
past forty years.”
Will Baby Bust impact will be mitigated from population growth and immigration?
5. The Greatest Generation!
From Poverty to Victory to Prosperity
Baby Boomer parents were the ‘Greatest’ and what role did the government play or not?

Is America pretending we don’t have problems on entitlement obligations?

9. The Role of Government
• Reagan … Wanted Small Government
– How? Run up big deficits …. this is the only way
for people to understand the need to restrain
spending
• Obama … Wants Big Government
– How? Run up big deficits … this is the only way for
people understand the need to pay higher taxes

Falling mobility naturally implies less movement up the economic ladder.
What should and shouldn’t be done to reverse the trend?
18. Person of the Century?
In regards to impacting the economic well-
being, should Deng Xia-Ping be considered
as someone who lifted the most people
out of poverty (by abandoning Mao policy
and implementing wealth creation
policies) and hence the person of the
century?
19. Will China overtake the U.S. in GDP?
It depends on Singapore

20. Persons of the Millennia?
The Glorious Revolution of William and Mary definitively affirmed the
power of the parliament and the rule of law (and not the arbitrary
powers of Kings and Queens), which thereby guaranteed that the
English-speaking people would rise to the top in economic
development.
