What Your Credit Score Affects and How to Fix It
While nearly every adult in the U.S. has a credit score, people’s understanding of them vary greatly. Some are diligent about maintaining stellar credit, reviewing reports, and avoiding temptations that can ding their credit. Others know that they have a credit score but have no idea where they fall on the scale, or what to do about it. The fact of the matter is that a good credit score opens many doors for you and your family. A bad one, on the other hand, may force you to struggle to get things you want or even need.

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. Epistemology (respect for facts, reality, and the mind) and ethics (defining a proper code of morality) ought to drive economics to the good doctor.

“Talking Brook: ‘Yaron Brook Show Economic Myths - Middle Class Stagnation’”
What Dr. Brook gets right (amongst a whole host of other topics) is economics. It’s his strong suit. He swings open the door to the show by redressing a commenter about the fallacy of how the standard of living has gone down in recent decades. 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.
