We should have made accounting/finance mandatory in high schools since Sputnik.
Russian economists should have been telling the world that American economists have been ignoring the depreciation of durable consumer goods since WWII.

Get an economist to compute the annual depreciation of automobiles since Sputnik. We have risked having a nuclear war over economists who can't do algebra.
