Hi just had a problem with a particular element of this chapter, i know when you get tech adv the production function changes that is greater amount of marginal product per labour compared to before thus you can produce more with the same amount of labour ....but this is what i dont get does the labour demand curve shift out in the labour sector since MPL=w (real wage) thus the employment sector has to equilibrate at a higher level of w, increasing both level of employment and output ...if this is so is it the case for both fully flexible and fixed the model
Its just that on of my prof said one thing and another said something else and so close to exam times its anarchary trying to get hold of them
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
THANKS

It seems like politicians are getting better and better at squeezing and extracting more money out of average people throughout the world.

A week ago, at Thursday’s night Democratic presidential debate in Orangeburg, S.C.,
former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska reportedly said:


“Every one of those people except Kucinich is taking hedge fund money,” he claimed. “Hedge fund money is the manipulation of the economy overseas and nobody knows anything about it…. If the world economy tanks, it’s going to be because of the hedge funds.”

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18348028/#storyContinued

Can someone give more specifics about what Gravel was discussing?

3. Let us say that a community agreed to use a specially designed silicon chip as an equivalent form of money. Let us imagine that the price of a box of chocolates was 10 chips six months ago but now you need 12 chips to buy the same box of chocolates.
Would you say that the value of chocolates went up, or the value of chips went down?

During the republican debate at the Regan Library, there was at least one mention of the fact that our country is losing jobs due to the fact that there is a double tax on our exports while other countries export to the U.S. with no tax (tariff) or a tax at a lower rate. Moreover, this double-tax resulted from a trade agreement the U.S. signed, but don't know which one(s).

I'm mostly interested in finding out about the taxation of our exports. Thanks in advance.

our descendants will have to deal with it. But now somebody tells me that a huge part of our national debt is owed to China! What does that mean? Is this like when third world countries owe money to us? How are we going to pay it back? Can China impose austerity measures on us to makes us pay? Can they foreclose on us?
