- NEO WORLD BIZ ECON - Politicians and Talking Heads - BS or Real Stuff with William Eastman
Politicians and Talking Heads - BS or Real Stuff?
We can use the pandemic as a great teacher of economics. Around the world and within every country different approaches have been used to deal with the virus. This gives us an unique opportunity to examine the impact of government intervention on business.
Topic 1: What Happened?
- governments seek power and use fear and dependence to gain it
- government policy is double-entry bookkeeping: for every addition to government power has a corresponding reduction in individual freedom
- government views people in two groups - independent and dependent; take from the independent to give to dependent until there are more more horses in the wagon than pulling it
- in business there is no Pause in costs, just revenue

About Economics for Owners with William Eastman
From the publisher's feed
I started providing economic advice to large corporations many decades ago consulting to the C Suite. As much as it was of value with them, since I started working with business owners it has become an obvious imperative. You and I do not control the business cycle and poor government policy, we can only respond to it. Our series on 'Riding The Wave' provides to the entrepreneur a method of responding to events of our control.
Look at IBGR as your CGO - your fractional Chief Growth Officer. In that mode we have built a platform that will move beyond the one-way conversation of radio and podcasts to real relationships; our Community of Commerce.
A thought before we start, I want to invite you to my new group on the Community - Living the Life . If you are a serial entrepreneur and looking to discuss how to build a business that runs itself so you can start running multiple businesses - this is the right spot.

Objectives - The WHY
Most people will tell you that only two things are unavoidable - taxes and death. I will add a 3rd - the business cycle. Unless you live in a command economy where the government makes all the decisions on supply, demand, and prices, the business cycle is unescapable. I guess I should add poor government policy as the 4th element. Other than voting all I can do about it is understand the opportunities and threats to staying in business; at a minimum survive and perhaps even thrive with the right decisions.
Key Issues - Owner Perspective:
- How do I read the business cycle?
- What are the underlying causes?
- What are the moves?
