The great Paul Samuelson passed away last weekend at the age of 94, and several economists have now written about his life and work. Paul Krugman highlights eight of Samuelson
it is a very curious thing that so many, if not all of Samuelson's ideas, have been my own. Touche. But since I do not intend to add to my list of those similarly engaged. Voila- this baby is your's.
Samuelson was a coy supporter of shifting taxes off of labor and capital and onto land and natural resources. This happens to be the fairest, sanest, and most overlooked solution to some of the world's greatest problems.
Dear Jack--an interesting idea and yes, one of the things I have learned is that science aims towards real solutions of our problems. But I do have a question- so this would mean that ? As an example, there is a builder in my neighborhood who has had a house up for sale for about 1 1/2 years. He has not sold it and refuses to come down on the price. He gets some sort of tax break for not having sold the house. So he would no longer be able to be so advantaged?
