Counter Economics

This blog is for people with some background in finance and economics. We would prefer to open it to a larger audience, but then we would not be able to write the articles at the level we would like. However, after speaking to many non-finance and economics people, we have concluded that there is a real need in the market for a site, guide, book, whatever, that explains how to protect one’ assets from the finance industry. You see, our view is that the finance industry has become so perverse, that it is actively misinforming the rest of the public on basic issues such as what is a stock, what investment returns can be expected, among many other topics. This would be as if the medical profession began prescribing arsenic for medicinal purposes. Most people are completely unaware of how bad the financial advice is that they are getting. We are looking for input and possible partners and or publishers for this project so feel free to leave comments if you have some ideas.
