Professor Paul Boothe examines the downfall of oversimplifying complex issues and labelling them "good" or "bad." Often, these issues don't fit into the binary - what's good for one group isn't necessarily good for everyone.

"When economists (or pundits or even politicians) tell you an interest rise or Canadian dollar fall is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for Canada, take a minute to think about where they sit and where you sit," Boothe advises.
