1."When real interest rates are high, so is the opportunity cost of funds." What does this statement mean?

2. Explain why interest rates are sometimes called the "the price of holding money."

3. If investment spending became less sensitive to interest rates, how would this affect the strength of monetary policy?

4. The demand for money will decrease as income falls. Use this fact to explain why interest rates usually fall in a recession.

A debate on tonight's Fox News Cable Channel.

Men can sell their sperm. Women can sell their eggs, but not their organs. In a capitalist society, should people also have the rights sell their organs, whether now while alive, or later as a part of their estate? Wouldn't this make a lot more organs available for transplants? Even AIDS patients could sell their organs, when it is going to another AIDS patient.

What are you thoughts? If you are against, do you think that the marketing of sperm and eggs should also be stopped?

Assume that putting on a major life event costs $25,000 now. How much will it cost in ten years, assuming 3% inflation? Also, do you think that a 3% inflation rate for an event in America is justified, or would you use a different figure? (No, I'm not some student looking for help with my homework: I don't have a calculator that can do compound interest.)

I'm wondering how the following things add up to affect the U.S. economy:

1. We've become a nation of consumers instead of producers.

2. There's more debt now than ever before.

3. We've become almost totally dependant on transportation.

Any thoughts?

Can a city take deliberate action to reduce cost-of-living expenses? What is involved? Who needs to be engaged? How long will it take to realize change?

How can an economic system in which the majority have little input be just in a country like the United States where political democracy is so important? Capitalism is controlled by the few for the benefit of the few, and shouldn't a political democracy also have economic democracy (such as employees voting for the board members).

We all know that Investments in a nation contributes to its GDP.. GDP is supposedly a reflection of our economic condition/health..

As the government steps in to invest & while making profits do you think they are distorting actual condition of economic growth or trying to improve GDP figures in a not so appropriate method? The saying is.. 'since we can't get people to do the job/invest, we do it ourselves' I mean.. since either way it will contributes to the nation's growth.

Without looking at actual situation, I'm already assuming that government might be involved in cashing into firms, do you think it is a good measure to improve economic condition as firms receive investment funds from government & the goverment can generate reserves on such investments?

Is it ' Dual Beneficial' or is it just a distortion of facts.

What's your stand?
