Economics in Haikus!
Economics, in 17 syllables.
By Crystal Yan
1. It’s thinking a 2% raise is more even when inflation is 3% and real rate is -1% (2%-3%= -1%):
Money illusion/You think you’re rich but you’re not/Your raise may mean less
2. The maximum of money to be made may never be known:
Laffer curve is hard/to understand It says zip/Max tax’s never known
3. Your money’s is up:
Dollar’s up, yen’s down/We’re stronger so export less/Import more Oh oops
