What does it take to make a vibrant economy? Hard work We found it interesting that many of these cites also had people that volunteered when they were not working. Now that is good stuff!

The grind never stops in these cities. See who’s putting in the most hours.

Good economics starts at the family level. Ensure that your children understand your estate planning. Even at a young age it is good to know that there is a plan in place. Let them know these plans are revisited an adjusted as circumstances change. Adult children and executirs should know where to find important papers, pass codes, and contacts.

Looking at what impacts employee moral. When an employer is unable to pay a higher wage, employees will be looking for ways to improve their job skills for their next job.

Understanding economic myths.

Capitalism has a PR problem.
And fake economic history is doing most of the damage.

Myth: The Great Depression was a failure of laissez-faire.
Reality: A monetary collapse and aggressive interventions made it deeper and longer.

Myth: The Industrial Revolution enriched capitalists by impoverishing workers.
Reality: Real wages rose, and workers voluntarily moved into factory jobs.

Myth: Trade and globalization destroy national industries.
Reality: Open economies adapt, specialize, and raise incomes.

Bad history leads to bad policy.
If we misunderstand the past, we repeat costly mistakes in the present.
