Freedom and Truth

I firmly believe that the ruling elite must keep the people in the dark, especially when it comes to economics as well as in politics.  However, the rise of the Internet, and in particular outlets such as YouTube, are making that task far more difficult, as witnessed by the recent events in Northern Africa, especially Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Bahrain.  The genie is out of the bottle, and it is not going back in it.  Let freedom and truth rein.  That is one of the main reasons I teach is to do my small part in making  students more economic literate.
