ROYAL OAK, Mich. — The July/August issue of DBusiness, on newsstands now, features an in-depth profile of erudite economist David Littmann and explores his views on why entrepreneurial disenfranchisement and government intervention in the free market are all wrong for Michigan’s economy. The longtime student of Adam Smith sounds off on tax rebates, Ben Bernanke, and the power of the individual.

Also in the July/August Issue:

•    Are You a Workaholic? A new type of addict is coming to the forefront and Michigan’s challenging economy may be contributing to the problem. For some, eight-hour days are considered to be mere half-days on the road to success.

DBusiness shines the spotlight on Madonna, Robin Williams, Smokey Robinson, and many more of the Great Lakes State’s best-known celebrities — and gauges their star power. This group has a collective net worth of $2.4 billion and growing.

•    University Labs Tackle Cancer: Michigan Universities are developing innovative new methods to detect and treat disease with inventions that are migrating from the laboratory to the marketplace.
