- "Made in China" Definition is Being Rewritten By : Amy Yu
Maybe some people are still unable to get out of its low-cost impression. But the Chinese enterprises which have lofty ambition do not satisfy of “Made in China” and has been in pursuit of “Create in China”. If you still think that Chinese product is a symbol of low-priced and poor quality, you are out of date. Even the British Financial Times reminded the myself-businessmen in its special report: It is self-deceit that some manufacturers consider they allowed the Chinese to dispose of the low-end markets, and then they can concentrate on the high value-added products - $4.00 Per Gallon Gasoline and $100 Per Barrel This Summer?

One of the biggest problems in America is the over regulation we place on small, medium and large corporations. The over regulation is like an extra tax on society, as it adds costs to everything that we buy. Many Americans are worried about a shrinking middle class and they blame outsourcing, off-shoring and trade deficits. The truth of the matter is most of the problems in our economy are actually caused by the Blob of Bureaucracy. There is just too much over lawyering and over regulation hanging over the heads of small business people and corporations. - 2007 The Case for Off-Shoring and Outsourcing By : Lance Winslow
Most people decry the thought of the outsourcing of American Jobs and they call it the greed of the multi-national corporations looking for cheap labor and cost cuts at the expense of the middle class and union workers. They say that American corporations do not care about the American workforce and they claim that these corporations are destroying our economy and our nation. In reality this might be a little harsh considering that all these executives that run these corporations are also Americans and they believe in this country as much as the rest of us. In reality there are many factors for this growing trend of outsourcing. - 2007 Trends in The Flow of Money and Economics By : Lance Winslow
At no other time in human civilization has economics played a greater role in the stability of Nations.

The massive scale of money flows to all parts of the world is truly astounding and thus the importance of good economic policy is indeed paramount. - 5 Economic Tests for Joining the Euro By : Richard Pettinger
Before deciding whether the UK should join the Euro the Chancellor, Gordon Brown drew up 5 economic tests which the UK must pass for the UK to join. The main principle behind these 5 economic tests was whether the UK would cope with a common monetary policy. The 5 tests are in some ways superfluous. The main test being is really whether the UK has a degree of economic harmonisation with the rest of Europe. - 9-11, Usury, Interest, and the Cost of Money By : Carl Peterson
The major banks laughingly publish profit figures based upon a percentage of assets held! The Prospectus for the Bank of New Zealand declares a 1.1% profit against assets. Doesn't sound like much, does it? Not until you figure in that BNZ capital is only about .1 of its asset base. In other words, the true profit for the bank is over 10%; and the bank does not create a single portion of new wealth. And this is after a whole lot of people have been paid good salaries for supplying banking "services". This looks more like hiway robbery to me. - A Debt-Driven Society By : Yoong Kheong Fong

We need free-markets and we must remember the words of Adam Smith. And too that point I wish to add; Free Markets should allow winners to succeed and losers to fail, not prop up those who fail to innovate and adapt and curtail those with the innovations. Some modern day liberals say that they are leveling the playing field, yet pass legislation for raising minimum wage and regulation to create price controls. - A View on the South African Economy By : Gerald Crawford

Productivity is an economic concept which measures the efficiency of production. This is represented by a simple ratio of the resources that are required to produce a certain output.

The year gone by was what trade analysts appropriately term 'Year of Acquisitions' as many Indian Companies made successful bids for acquiring the business operations of it's rivals.

What has lead to integration of economies worldwide cannot be just a simple, single phenomenon? From the angle of 'globalization,' world economy cannot be bifurcated.
