Common sense from UNCG economics department

I'm sure UNCG has its share of far-out faculty members, but its Bryan School of Business and Economics seems to be staffed with people who really know their trade.

I'm always impressed with Andy Brod.

And Bruce Caldwell's Counterpoint column today about the folly of "living wage" proposals resounds with common sense and clarity.

But then, I wrote something along the same lines myself.

Caldwell is a professor of economics. Thanks for writing, prof.

That was one of the best counterpoints I had seen in a long time. A very valuable contribution. I like the idea of a living wage, but dislike the idea of requiring it.

I am still trying to figure out how Brod defending payday lenders a few months ago. Other than that, I enjoy his work.
