Low Graphics Thursday, 13 September, 2001, 15:09 GMT 16:09 UK Will US consumer confidence fade? US consumers have so far helped stave off recession With American people still coming to terms with Tuesday's attacks, many are now expected to be far more cautious about spending their money. So far, the US - and world - economy has managed to escape recession, largely thanks to consumer confidence. But even before the attacks, confidence was already sharply on the wane. And as many businesses and shopping districts shut down across on Tuesday, some economists fear that increased consumer caution could drag the economy into recession. I am concerned about the 69% of the economy that has been held up by the consumer David Littmann, Commercial Bank Some, however, argue that the Federal Reserve and US government will quickly act to pump money into the economy, boosting confidence once more.

43. DAYBREAK - Impact Of Cigarette Smoking On Medicaid Costs Is $322 Billion In 25 Y University of California health care economists created the first detailed picture of the impact of cigarette smoking on Medicaid costs in all 50 states. http://www.ucsf.edu/daybreak/1998/03/309_cig.htm

Visit UCSF Today at http://www.ucsf.edu/today/ Impact of Cigarette Smoking on Medicaid Costs is $322 Billion in 25 Years University of California health care economists have created the first detailed picture of the impact of cigarette smoking on Medicaid costs in all 50 states. Published today, the analysis provides a solid foundation for financial claims by states against the tobacco industry. The analysis, by Leonard Miller, professor of social welfare at the University of California Berkeley and Dorothy Rice, professor emeritus of health economics at the UCSF School of Nursing and former director of the National Center for Health Statistics, also demonstrates that a proposed settlement being negotiated, whereby the tobacco industry would pay out $368.5 billion to 40 states over 25 years, is not high enough to cover any medical claims other than Medicaid. Smoking-related Medicaid costs amount to $12.9 billion per year, or $322 billion in 25 years without inflation, the economists discovered. This does not include the financial impact of cigarette smoking on Medicare or private insurance companies, they said. "The tobacco industry has caused immeasurable harm to the public health," said Miller. "These figures strengthen the idea that economic sanctions are appropriate and justified."

52. The Drawing Board: Economic Utopia And Its Handmaidens Abstract utopias, says Evan Jones, are conjured by libertarian economists who act social engineers. http://www.econ.usyd.edu.au/drawingboard/digest/0009/jones.html

Symposium: Economics and Public Policy Economic Utopia and its Handmaidens Evan Jones, University of Sydney Posted 8 September 2000 No Party in office has had the courage to wind up the Productivity Commission. The striking aspect of this process is the other-worldly character of the axioms which have provided a rallying call for the changes and the utopian vision to which all of this is supposed to lead. Certainly there have been specific interests pushing self-consciously and strategically for changes that serves to enhance their advantage. The banks were pushing for changes to the post-war financial regulatory structure that seemingly gave unfair advantage to non-bank financial institutions. The Business Council of Australia was pushing for a regime of enterprise bargaining that would enhance the leverage of its members with their workforce. These things are part of the normal cut and thrust of economic conflict. Yet surrounding the specific interests has been a layered army of armchair theorists, wordsmiths and ideologues. The transparent connection between self-interest and strategic action has been distorted by a substantial propaganda machine with erroneous interpretations of the past, simplistic nostrums for the present, and promises of universal benefit in the future. The whole apparatus has been adopted and reproduced by journalists, public servants and teachers for whom conformity is a more significant career touchstone than critical engagement.
