This insightful and comprehensive book uses theory and empirical
studies to debunk contemporary illusions about the functionality of
economies and examines the phenomena of economic magic and economic
black magic. Norman C. Miller considers 11 economic myths, three of
which are the theory that excessive imports reduce employment as
firms are forced to downsize or shut down, that a more equal
distribution of income kills incentives and reduces economic growth
rates and the myth that a higher minimum wage always generates a
net decrease in employment. Chapters examine the effects of
advances in technology, poverty and income inequality,
international trade, and trade deficits on employment and economic
growth. The book concludes with discussions on three case studies
demonstrating economic black magic, namely the Great Depression,
the Great Recession, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This creative and
accessible book will be vital reading for students and scholars in
economics and finance, the history of economic thought, methodology
of economics, and political economy. It will also be beneficial for
business owners, economists, finance practitioners, and social
scientists, as well as citizens interested in the functioning of
economies.
