Most Americans, living in a capitalist society, still cannot understand such basic economic concepts as supply and demand, or the meaning of the word profit, or how government can cause inflation with the printing press and thereby destroy the value of our currency. Even the President of the United States, a graduate of Harvard Law School, seems unable to understand some fundamental economic principles that govern a free, capitalist society.

This is tragically the truth. I know some very intelligent people that are ignorant about how our economy works and why it works.

Wrong! They may be pseudo intelligent or selectively intelligent but they are not “very” intelligent, very intelligent people understand the free market and the alternatives.
