The development, so far, we see is NOT from govt sector. The govt especially state govts are doing their best to drag us behind with popular policies like free color tv or excessive reservation policy not only in studies - it goes beyond till the employment (probably death of the candidate:) I am not sure!)... are we really developing in all fronts.. Or there is something that we are really missing to catch up with.

Who should handle the change if there is one? (Think critically rather than an opinion, i.e. economic costs, public v. private, governmental intervionists v. free market economics)

Details to that question: - I think, and I speak for all Australians that we are not getting paid enough through the jobs we do. Labouring, factory hand, security, customer service fields, etc. Why is it that when everything's prices skyrockets, like rent, food, fuel, clothes, interest rates, etc but our wages stay the same where is the justice in all this? Just to get by we are optionless to work 2 jobs nowadays or we bankrupt. Alot of Australians are struggling just to keep their heads above water. I think a rise in wages significantly will remove 90% of stress off all of us. I have researched and some countries make a payrise once sometimes twice a year and yes along with it everything else's prices go up too but we dont even have that so please I urge the Australian government to take this as seriously as possible and I'm asking all Australians to stand up and point this most important question to the government.

''current affirmative action programs are based on the belief that to overcome discrimination, we must practice the discrimination. That perverse logic has created a system that undermines the fundamental values it was intended to protect.''

If our oil reserves are really going to run out, global warming is hardly going to be the big problem in the future. food, electricity and mobility have all become affordable and accessible. These luxuries however may become next to impossible to access or afford. How could one family become independent today? How much time would this take? What would we have to abandon, what could we keep?

I have been reading articles about the possibility of a major recession taking place in America by the end of 2007. What are your thoughts on this? Will it happen? How can the average American help to avoid it?

An average middle class family needs atleast Rs 20,000/- per month to barely survive - payning rent, school fees, food, electricity, conveyance, etc. But The government thinks that an individual who earns Rs 10,000/- per month has to pay Income Tax. This is a shameful way to steal from the citizens. We anyway pay so much in INDIRECT TAXES , on Telephone Bill, Conveyance, Electricity, Food, Clothes, Petrol, etc

I have noticed from my experience that families with lower incomes seem to have more kids than those with seemingly more income. Has anyone else thought this? Is there a connection?

Why not 30 or 20? I've asked this question and similar ones on YA before, but don't feel I've received any satisfactory answers. Usually I get responses from economic experts who suggest I take an economics course and offer vague warnings of runaway inflation. But let's assume (because it's true) that I put in 11 hour days Mon thru Fri including commute time and I don't have the money, time, energy or inclination to enroll in a college course. Can you give me the title of a book, an author, a masters thesis, anything that would explain what's so magical about 40 hours? What if we started taxing the rich again, or taxed all sales items that weren't absolute necesities? There's got to be a way to crunch the numbers so we don't have to bust our butts all our lives. For those of you chuckling darkly at my rant because you work 60 or 80 hours a week, why do you do it? Because you like it? For toys? Retirement? Survival? Should we compete with Asian factory workers? 98 hrs per wk

Suppose you are a student just about to obtain your MBA and start looking for a job. An economist would say that you are about to enter the job market. Compare this market to the tin market that is described in the text. Is the job market for MBAs also an example of an ideal market? Is the price a sufficient statistic for this market? Discuss the latter question both from the point of view of employers and persons seeking employment.
