Economic geniuses only please, which is better and why?

There is nothing wrong with having a national debt. That is a very common misnomer. The national debt is simply the acculation of outstanding savings bonds that are purchased, primarily by us (the American public). You go buy a bond, and the government owes you the money back. It is just a paper transfer, not a sunk cost. A surplus would only mean that these have been paid off. That isn't NECESSARILY the optimal condition.

All the people who answered this question are so ignorant about economics that they don't realise *their* lazy, braindead, dole-grabbing ass is the drain on the economy, while the Mexicans only improve it. \n\nSweet, sweet irony, how I cherish your name.

Maybe Socialism is better, but capitalism is more human unfortunately.\n\nsocialism is a great idea, but it has to be everywhere for it to work because if there is a capitalist nation next door then it begins dragging the socialist down.\n\nsorry I had to be practical

Neither one is better than the other.  Each product has their own characteristics and each personal has their own individual needs.  NEVER listen to anyone who tells you to only buy either one or the other.  Most people will carry a mix of both.  The best thing a person can do is consult with a financial professional and have a needs analysis done.

Do you mean, "What's better"?  It depends. Are you moral? Then validity is more important. Are you a greedy, no-conscience pig? Then obviously profitability is more important. \n\nTake the drug companies, for example. A good number of them are clearly more interested in profitability than in validity.

Semantics, really. I see no reason why one is inherently "better" than the other.

Economy rules this roost.  As for me and mine, we go with the Scott.  More squares per mile.

As an Economics-Philosophy student myself, the answer depends on the nature of the industry.  As a general rule, perfect competition is best for the consumer; however, in scenarios where there's very high overhead/infrastructure costs (think telecom), because the company has to recoup their outlay to make a profit, regulated monopolies are more beneficial to the consumer because they can spread the infrastructure costs over more people.  This is reasoning behing most government run/enforced monopolies like utility companies (e.g. gas/electric).

I assume this is an either/or question. Both appear to be technically acceptable, but Supply and demand of commodities and utilities sounds more professional. Of course, I'm also assuming that you are using this in a title or will be adding the necessary verbage to complete a sentence.

how about which one interests you more. in the long run you will make more money if you like what you are doing.

From what i've seen, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference between them, i suppose try to get value for money. Whichever provides the most for the least.
