      ======================= There is the owner and the employee. ==============
      Ultimately, the 'Employee' makes the products, takes those products to the market, sells the same products, he made, to himself and finally he pays a fee known as Profit to some 'Owner' for a permission to own the same products he made and sold to himself.
      The owner gets to collect profit for doing nothing.....and many call that 'earning' instead of 'taking'.
      The way forward to a better society is to increase and maintain a strong minimum purchasing power of the end-consumer using the magic formula.
      (Magic Formula: 'Your minimum Purchasing Power' = 'minimum wage' + 'Benefits payments' - 'Cost of dignified living from cradle to grave' - 'Taxes, fees, penalties')
      Firms are no more "legal entities" than your back-up power generator is a "legal entity", and it does not matter if it runs on fossil fuels or if a bunch of humans must run on treadmills all day.
      Save the minimum purchasing power of the human citizens instead of saving businesses/firms.

    I see marginal utility every time I sign up for a course for university; I get more utils from buying less-expensive study materials to help me succeed in a course than actually spending $600 for a semester of sitting around, not understanding, and having to cram everything since the way teachers go about teaching this subject is unintuitive and uninspiring. My final exam is tomorrow, but I just wanted to thank you Mr.Clifford for teaching me more microeconomics with such enthusiasm and charisma in two weeks than my teacher has in three months. Shocking right? Well anyways, if anyone is on the fence for whether they should buy the packet, I'm sure the other 400+ comments will pretty much say the same thing. Exquisite work

I am a university lecturer and have learned from you how to simplify the economics concepts to my students. This year, I have to teach AP Micro and Macro, Would you please recommend for me some books as well as lesson plans and activities, and answer for past papers? Do you have your own books and notes, I am interested to buy them.
