Economics is known as the dismal science, but not every economist is a pessimist.
Brian Wesbury might be one of the more optimistic forecasters out there. He’s proud of being dubbed “Mr. Sunshine” by well-known short-seller Doug Kass. The chief economist at First Trust Advisors, a Chicago asset manager, Wesbury has one of the most bullish assessments on the economy. His new book trumpets that optimism in its title: “It’s Not As Bad As You Think.”
