Talking Brook: ‘Yaron Brook Show: Zuckerberg on Wealth, Navarro's Muse'
Dr. Yaron Brook brings his expertise in parsing through newspapers to his show. He claims that the best paper, The Wall Street Journal, still has errors, flubs, and outright “nonsense.” He disagrees with economists like Thomas Sowell who contends that economics is about “scarcity” but still holds him in esteem. Dr. Brook challenges the scarcity notion. He says that economics is about production and trade. He finds that we live in abundance. He offers the example of how you can take “gunky stuff” like oil and make it into something that can be made into a human value to be consumed.

He holds that an individual can do “fantastically well” today as opposed to the 1950s. Dr. Brook admonishes a YouTube commenter for not displaying sufficient grammar and spelling skills. He asks how someone determines their wages in the marketplace of worth. The good doctor concedes that while we’re in a good place across the world, things can be much better.
