BERANEK CRAZILY STARTED PRINTING DOLLARS, A REPORT.
WTF?! how did printing money save the WORLD from economic disaster? People used other things before paper money came round. Does that mean we can blame them for greed in this world?
And….why didn’t it help them this time round then??
I’m pretty damn sure they went into a recession and Australia came out pretty much unscathed
Do you think the world will ever be entirely vegetarian?From economic, ecological or spiritual reasons?
26.October, 2009
no.
Economic: people with better work habits will always be able to afford better food than lazy ones.
Ecological: animals are necessary part of lifecycle; as long as there are animals, somebody will eat them.
Spiritual: People tend not to care about spiritual values until their basic needs (safety, food, housing) are satisfied.
Biological: you cannot raise a healthy child on a vegetarian diet.

what are the social and economic transformations that occurred in the Atlantic world from 1492 to 1750?
20.October, 2009
this is an Ap question i have to answer and i dont know what to put
I would argue the largest social / economic transformation was "trade / travel by water" from 1492 - 1750.
How did economic philosophies and polices evolve from the Civil war to the post-world war I era?
16.October, 2009
In what ways did these polices reflected their specific historical contexts?
less laize faire economics and more controls of business after abuses in the industrial revolution. worker rights and socialism grew in that time.
what do you think is the difference between todays economic situation from that of after World War II?

That’s an enormous question! To start with, globally we’re much better off today than we were in 1945 and 1946. The level of destruction in Europe and Japan meant that the capital stock (machinery, factories, etc.) had severely dropped, which drastically hampered production. The labor force in the U.S. was at full employment, and there was some disruption as soldiers returned home to take the jobs that their wives, sisters, mothers and girlfriends had previously occupied. The opposite was true in Europe, but labor shortages weren’t a problem because there was nowhere to work. As the U.S. economy spun down production from its wartime peak, unemployment rose somewhat and there was a minor recession, something to be expected after a war of this magnitude. It was a rise in capital and the expansion of a base of professionals (many of them attending engineering and business schools on the GI Bill) that led to a prolonged and stable period of growth, substantial scientific innovations, and financial market developments.
Today we have the most educated labor force the U.S. has ever known, and this is key to promoting economic growth in the U.S. as our manufacturing jobs have declined due to more-efficient but less labor-intensive work methods, and overseas outsourcing.
Moreover, our financial markets have developed into the intricate, sophisticated systems they are today, systems that are still not entirely understood (as is evident in the recent stock market plummet), but have nevertheless enabled capital expansion on a profound scale. Our welfare systems are also more advanced, although this leads well into our current most pressing issues.
The War Generation and Baby Boomers meant that ours was a young nation with a ready and capable labor force. In the next ten to fifteen years, a much older population means that welfare programs will place substantial burdens on American productivity in the form of taxes, pension costs, and the resources that need to be allocated to health care provisions. Thus we see a shift in the primary incidence of burden from the private employer in the 1940s and 1950s to the tax base in the 2000s until the 2030s.
Moreover, our primary comparative advantage has always been in capital and land, as opposed to labor. While the returns accruing to capital and land were significant for much of the past half-century, the presence of cheap labor is becoming more important, as China and certain Pacific Rim nations are asserting their economic strength largely due to the presence of plentiful unskilled labor. There are even some challenges to the U.S. skilled labor, mainly in the form of accountants, customer service, and computer technology in India.
There are other, more substantial differences in the economic situation. The most noteworthy is the exchange rate regime. From 1946 until 1973, the major economic powers (and many minor ones) engaged in trade under a fixed rate regime, known popularly as "Bretton Woods". Under inflationary pressure from the U.S. (as the regime was based upon exchange rates to the dollar), the partners in the regime ultimately lost their taste for it and abandoned the fixed rate mechanism. There are now regional fixed rate regimes, notably the E.U., and some nations adopt a peg to the dollar, however it is unlikely that the U.S. will soon voluntarily give up its monetary independence, and the prevailing exchange rate regimes are far more flexible than under Bretton Woods.
Also noteworthy is the emphasis on increasing efficiency through reduction of tariffs and trade barriers, as through such instruments as the WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA. While these agreements have stirred up controversy, they have unarguably increased the total volume of trade and made imports and exports more important.
A final note would be on the use of debt - it was something to be avoided if at all possible in the 1950s and 1960s, while deficit spending by governments, consumers and businesses is now the expected norm in much of the industrialized world. Indeed, the mere possibility of the credit access available to the average American consumer, or even to a lower-earning household, was unheard-of in the 1950s, and equity was the preferred method of raising capital.

Do you know the most economic way to get from Sea World to Disney World in Orlando, FL?.?

Just take the bus if you don’t have a car. If you’re staying at a hotel, it most likely has transportation to both parks.
