We know about 3D printing. It is in its primitive phase. Think about this technology 30 years from now. Of course, your guess will look silly in retrospect — primitive. People invent things. They apply for patents. Governments issue them. They grant a monopoly of manufacture for about 15 years. The inventor can license his […]

Fred Reed wrote a gem of a rhetorical essay, “Capitalism and the Minimum Wage: ‘I Got Mine, Screw You.’” I was so impressed that I stole it, almost word for word, changing only “capitalism” to “trade unionism.” Reed is a master of rhetoric. When his logic is sound, he is devastating — a model. The […]

I love ads. I write them. I teach a Ron Paul Curriculum course on how to write them: Business I. I teach kids for $50 what I used to charge business teams $5,000 per team to learn in a week, 9 am to 9 pm. Nothing I have ever seen matches this — nothing! A […]

If a book was published in the United States before 1923, it is in the public domain. You can use it to create high-value products. Here is an example. Years ago, I told my friend Byron Reese about Ray’s Arithmetic. Joseph Ray was a 19th-century educator. His book on arithmetic was published before the first […]

Walgreens’ slogan — “Walgreens has you covered” — is torpedoed by the mental images that its latest TV ad produces. I saw it over the weekend. This ad is depressing. It is even more depressing for me than it will be for you. To understand my mental state, you need some background. First, I spent […]

TV viewing time is not free. It is expensive. I teach a course, “Introduction to Business,” for the Ron Paul Curriculum. One of the most important aspects of this course is to teach teenagers the power of reinvested profits in a personally owned home business. To teach this, I use a financial calculator posted on […]

I bought the business chair generally regarded as the best in the world: a Herman Miller Embody chair. I bought the top-of-the line version: the Balance Carbon.
