Whenever any Secret Hearing, such as the Spanish Inquasition or "family court", can deal out the harshest possible sentances in a vaccume, and then forbid reporting about said "case" or not on each case according to propaganda value for the court, there is bound to be bribe solicitation and punishments delt for those who will not bribe that court, and said court will vent it's prejudices against those whomever who bother it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So, doesn't the utter lack of checks and ballances in family court, combined with absolute ontrol over all aspects of the economy and the people put the hairs on anyone's neck on end?

Hi..friend I wonder if the US economy is 100% free economy?
I have read an economics book before, there was an index told US economy is quite a free economy, but not 100%.
US seemed to be rated 8 of 10.(10 is 100% free economy)Many of the nondemocratic countries were rated 3 or 4.
US is still not 100%, because its post offices and something elses are gov't owned. There is one thing i am curious with, There are million kinds of things being traded everyday in the US. Are there some of the (consumer) goods' prices regulated to fix by govn't or to change(rise or fall) within a certain percentage. Are there goods not based on the pure supply and demand theory. Please help me with this question
thank Q I will appreciate it.

Was trying to find some sources to answer this question (sources, not opinons please)

If there is a finite amount of money.. And the nation suffers a depression...Shouldnt there still be money there, just in the hands of fewer people?

Were there not people who profited off the depression? Buying forclosed properties, resources and goods. People were loosing their homes, but someone was taking ownership of them. People were loosing their belongings, but someone was buying things at estate auctions.. Banks were going under, but someone was buying their assets. Real estate doesnt vanish.

Things do not dissappear with out a trace. The value of the dollar may of been lower, but the dollar still existed...Instead of the wealth being distributed across the nation, it became more centralized.

a) Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, by how much should it increase the price?

b) If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policty have a larger effect on smoking 1 year from now or 5 years from now?

c) Studies also find that the teenagers have highter price elasticity than do adults. Why might this be true?

I wanted to see if there's a correlation that suggests a country's economy improves or worsens if such country has a core religion. Core religion has numerous meanings. I would like different opinions across the diversified web-users. The degree/corresponding relationship is NOT being evaluated in this question - just answer straight from your experiences and gut-feelings.

I reckon the bubble has got to burst within the decade. What with merger after merger of billion dollar companies, soaring debts and stupidly high trade deficits against the emerging China and India, it's got to twenty years tops before the £/ $ / € etc all become pretty useless.

So how are you guys preparing?

With our country's deficits and continued war spending I'm afraid the middle of 08' will bring a huge economic downturn. What can I do now to prepare? I have a 401k, and IRA and considerable savings. Should I be storing more cash than investments? Also, I came back from working in Japan last year and never exchanged my yen. I have about 10 grand worth. I was thinking of exchanging it but should I maybe hold on to it as a cash reserve as the dollar drops over the next years? What are some actions that can be taken now to lessen the hardship to follow? Serious answers please. I didn't study economics so I wonder what the academic predictions are?
