Soon after publishing a Dec. 1 post in which I [...]

By Doug Edelman, Guest Blogger Fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will recognize the phrase, and will state that the answer is “Forty Two.” But when considering today’s economic and political atmosphere, I have another answer: 1) The economy is NOT a zero-sum game. You don’t deprive someone else by becoming successful yourself. [...]
