Moving this video to LarsaruS's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

The usual rubbish economic theory. What happened to DEPRECIATION?

How much do Americans lose on the depreciation of automobiles every year? Economists only compute and report the depreciation of automobiles. The funny thing about European culture is the double-entry accounting is 700 years old but accounting is not mandatory in the schools.

Everyone should concentrate on NET WORTH. Most consumers don't know enough about technology to figure out when they are buying junk. Economists are MORONS!
