Samenvatting

A trillion dollars, and most likely more thats how much economists contribute to the U.S. economy. But youd never know it by reading the jokes and criticisms (some of it fair) about economists in the media and in the blogosphere. In Trillion Dollar Economists , one of the nations leading policy analysts, Robert Litan, explains with lucidity and precision how the insights of many economists, mainly over the past fifty years, have helped to revolutionize business, resulting in huge benefits for companies and consumers. Economists and their ideas are embedded throughout the economy, Internet-based companies (even on-line dating sites), and increasingly in sports. Whether they know it or not, Internet retailers owe their existence to economists who in earlier decades helped convince policy makers to remove limits on prices and entry into the transportation business, while providing much of the intellectual impetus for breaking up the telephone monopoly that otherwise most likely would have inhibited the growth of the Internet. The widespread use of auctions in on-line commerce and search has its origins in economic research. Consumers and businesses that have benefited from the oil and gas boom have economists to thank for convincing policy makers to remove energy price controls. Investors in indexed mutual funds and other financial products are in debt to entrepreneurs who got their ideas or inspiration from financial economists. Readers will learn about these and many other contributions of economists in Trillion Dollar Economists , an important book that will be of interest to students of all ages, anyone in business or thinking of starting one, and policy makers wanting an easy and fun way to know what most economists really do and why their work is so important.
