A note to liberals about economics
Its economy declined from one of the strongest in Africa to one of the world's weakest after nationalization of industry and redistribution of private land.Then there is Ireland. Ireland's heavy industries, due to poor planning and international problems, almost disappeared by the early 1980s.Agriculture was constrained by production quotas. There was mass unemployment and the national debt had doubled, mostly due to welfare programs and subsidies.This changed in the mid 1990s when Ireland began to institute free market economics and lower taxes. Ireland is now ranked, by some measures, as the second wealthiest per capita country in the world.Then there is China. The socialist policies of Mao almost destroyed one of the most long-lasting societies on the planet. Since China opened up its economy with free markets, they have achieved the second highest GNP in the world, and unless they return to socialism, they will catch up to, and perhaps, even pass the United States.We could even conduct experiments in which one country is given all the resources except economic freedom and the other country gets almost no resources, but is given a more free market.

Deere takes a Giant Leap
About 50% of Deere's sales come from agricultural equipment, with the remainder split between construction equipment and commercial and consumer equipment. "Building to demand is the biggest focus for all of these businesses," says Nelson. "We began in construction equipment where it used to be normal to order big construction pieces six months in advance. Today we'll deliver any piece of big construction equipment in far less time. That puts a tremendous amount of importance on reducing leadtimes, particularly with our supply base. We're directing a lot of our supplier development engineers toward the activity of reducing cycle times." Nelson's team brought on board 94 supplier development engineers, including four with Ph.D.s, as part of its roadmap at Deere. Their salaries are shared by the divisions and corporate.
