Spin-Free Economics places the current economic debates where they belong: in the middle of the road.

  • Are outsourcing and foreign ownership good or bad for Americans?
  • Should we fear or embrace Asia’s emerging economic powers?
  • Which is better for today’s economy, consumption taxes or income taxes?
  • Is aid or trade the solution to global poverty?
  • Should international exchange rates be fixed or flexible?
