  2. Homelessness

    It wasn't enough that shopping centers were empty. Now hotels and even apartments are empty. Those who are homeless often sleep by freeways, and there seems to be some social service work, but still, for example in Los Angeles, there are thousands of homeless people. What are the barriers? Are there good examples of situations where the homeless are in some type of group/individual housing? What is the invisible catalyst?

    Great question! I’d start with this section in Principles of Macro:

    https://mru.org/courses/principles-economics-macroeconomics/gdp-per-capita-purchasing-power-parity-example

    Then if you want to go deeper, I’d suggest diving into development economics. We have a our course here:
    https://mru.org/courses/development-economics

    There are also a lot of good books on the subject. You’ll see some of the featured at the beginning of the puzzle of growth video in Macro.

  4. Explain the “Flatten the Curve” chart and The Economic Implications of the Corona Virus.

    There are two thought cases here. How does flattening the curve through social distancing help stop the spread of the corona virus and what are the repercussions - economically- of flattening the curve.

  6. The problem of brain drain. Is it actually a problem or is it beneficial ?

    Most often, we hear that brain drain is causing some serious damage to the accumulation of human capital for the developing economies. Every accomplished person leaves his homeland to get higher returns from abroad leaving vaccum for a learned and precious human resource.

  19. Would we be better off with more "Open" immigration?

    Should the United states as a rule push for more closed borders where people cant come in to find work? Or, are we better off with an open system where by people can enter the country and find a job.

  20. Are monopolies based on free trade bad for consumers?

    Ive been looking into Rockefellers life and what he did with standard oil. His process of helping the Railroads, Barrel makers, pipelines and shippers lead to drastically lower prices for Karosene. So what i want to know is are monopolies really bad for consumers if the marked is open and free? Or, is the label of a monopoly a boogie man used by the government to limit real competition?
