Government and the Economy
A couple interesting examples of government intervention in the economy:
- A description of how the Swedish central bank bailed out a major commercial bank in 1991.
The Israeli government establishes incentives to favor zero emission cars . Zero emission cars would be taxed 10%, 30% for hybrids, and 79% for regular cars. What makes this story particularly interesting is how Shai Aggasi sold the idea to the government.
