OnBiz QUIZ: Is a debt-biased economy necessary? Or, for that matter, necessarily good?

Why it this an important matter?
Most of us take for granted the way our economic system is structured, but don’t stop to wonder if it’s the way it should be.  Indeed, there might be better ways to organize our national affairs that would save us from financial catastrophes like we’re presently in.

How you can impress others how smart you are ON BIZ issues.
James Surowiecki has a great essay—and a one-pager at that!—on the whether all the tax provisions for corporate as well consumer debt bias make sense for all of us.  Sounds boring, but it isn't.  Check this short but very informative column at:

What’s behind the BIZ QUIZ?
The BIZ QUIZ is different from an ordinary “blog”—it’s less about my opinion and more about what I’ve found that I think you might find both interesting and informative.  The BIZ QUIZ is posted every now and then so I can share an especially interesting article I’ve come across or book I’m reading—all easy to “get,” interesting, readily understandable, and mostly about commerce and business in all of its wonderful and splendid variations.  This is done with the explicit purpose of making the affairs of business more relevant and interesting to readers of keithmurrayONBIZ—and, in the process, making my readers like you more conversant and knowledgeable about business matters—which ought to matter to everyone!
