And also if you have an authoritarian/sadistic .gov. But maybe the increasing population of the MIddle East where Mullahs rule everything will have tens upon thousands working on the cure for cancer.

Link to production data sky rocketing in the 14th/15th century? Anything you find is based on rough estimates, and there is no drastic increase that I can see until the industrial revolution.

We'll focus on the more viable regardless because we are (mostly) free to do so and that's where the profit is.

The Economic Impact of the Black Death

production didn't have to sky rocket to show an increase. cut 1/3 of your population out, and suddenly having people buy more things requires more production. even if the levels were the same, per capita would have seen a dramatic difference. the link above is wordy as all get out and long. but it breaks down the impact by sector. just skip to the conclusion if you don't want to read the rest.

This article says a lot of what you are saying but it says the BP put an end to a growth period and then growth came after about 50 years of recession...of course things were eventually going to grow, and we also don't know where we would have been without BP, so hard to say it made us better off.

It's an interesting case study, for sure.

The BP was also came after some other factors. there was the global cooling that effected agriculture in the early 1300s, and several big wars as well so it wasn't the only thing to end a period of growth.

but considering wars had been fought and hadn't changed much, and the economic downturn with decreased agriculture hadn't been historic bad. BP was really the only thing that changed the equation. no plague had hit like that before. 1/3 of the population had never disappeared.

I agree its impossible to say how it could have been. but impacting population without effecting wealth makes sense to have a positive impact.

What would be the UBI for all the Illegal immigrants the dems keep letting in. $2,000/mo?

Institute Fair Tax. Everyone receives a tax credit regardless of income level.
Remove ALL other sources of welfare and make re-qualification of special needs available but detailed and able to be proven.
Heavy penalties for those professionals who help people game the system.

This guy's campaign isn't going anywhere but this is something the front runners should be talking about.
