Coffee, Capital and You!


"HERE IS YOUR CUP OF COFFEE"- Heart Coffee Roasters from shelby menzel on Vimeo.
filmed and edited by Shelby Menzel for Heart Roasters in Portland, OR.

An intriguing short film that shows fundamental aspects to the operation of the marketplace and consumer choice. A cup of coffee that one buys for 1,3 or even 5 dollars, is quite minuscule compared to what it would cost the individual per cup, if he were to do it himself. The clip shows how capital, the division of labor and market demand come together, without the need of a central planner, to provide a good desired by millions.

Entrapenureship and Coffee


Tellason Stories: Meet Jeremy from Vertical Online on Vimeo.
In the second film for our Tellason series we're featuring Jeremy Tooker. Jeremy is a coffee craftsman and the owner of Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco. He is dedicated to sourcing the best seasonal single-farm-origin beans from around the world and coupling that with impeccable roasting. We also learned that he is a tireless entrepreneur who regularly works 60-80 hours a week in pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee.

Taco Bell and Doritos--- How to create jobs

http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2013/03/food-for-the-economy-the-doritos-locos-tacos-created-15000-jobs-in-2012

"Who would've thought that tacos would be responsible for economic growth? Not only are Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Tacos immensely popular, they also created some 15,000 new jobs last year. That's what happens when you push 375 million tacos, which is a little more than a million a day for a year."

Voluntary contracts, free association and the market once again show that with a little insight and a good marketing path, jobs can and will be created, without the need for "stimulus" and "redistribution of wealth".
