If the fed drops interest rates will it not just prolong the agony and the level of debt before the recession finally hits. At least with boom and bust scenarios you can take stock of your situation and re-evaluate your own financial position. I will never forget the recession of the 1990 s, and new then I would never be so vulnerable again to fluctuations in the economy, I learned a valuable lessson. Does anyone have the same experiences as me.

Is foreign aid a better way to help poor countries than trade?

My opinion is that trade is actually better because we are supplying countries with exact products other than money which some people may never see. What are your opinons Yahoo community?

Greenspan thinks so. He says the current stock market pattern resembles the 1987 and 1998 stock market crash.

The math just doesn't make sense to me!

Can someone:

1. Correct this assumption: If %80 percent of wealth is concentrated in %5 of the pop
2. Once accurate numbers are established, explain the calculus

It seems to me that if wealth is concentrated in a very small percentage of the population, most consumers have very little influence on whether or not a recession will materialize.

Currently the United States dollar, and (as far as I know) the rest of the world's currencies are fiat, that is there are no commodities (gold) supporting the value of the money system. This system is enforced by the Federal Reserve System in the United States, as well as by the other central banks in other countries, who are charged with maintaining monitary stability. They, however, do not seem very well equiped to do so, as can be attested to by all the problems created in the economy by their bad policies (for instance the current "housing crisis" that was caused by the Fed keeping interest rates too low for too long post 9/11). I believe a market based solution would be a better way of insuring monitary stability, however, I can see no way to do this with our current fiat currency. I believe it would be possible to do so with a commodity based currency, however, to do so would require deflating the dollar enough to a point that the USA would be destitute.

Higher prices of consumer commodities mostly hit the poor countries more acutely. Therefore, some sort of control will benefit the majority of the people in the world who are poor. Instead of numerous charity works through hundreds of NGOs should not we investigate the possibilities of controlling prices of consumes commodities internationally, since the world is a global city now.

Inflation: increase in money supply, and a cause of higher prices in products.
Deflation: decrease in money supply, and a cause of lower prices in products.

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money. You pay more for the same product. Savers lose, because their money buys less. People have to borrow money to buy things. Economy runs on debt. Poor people suffer most, since their limited amount of money can buy less and less. Middle class shrinks as they drown in debt and go bankrupt. Banks have to lend more money to keep the economy rolling. More debt causes more bankruptcies. This creates an inflationary spiral.

Deflation increases the purchasing power of money. People hoard money and borrow less. Economy takes a nose-dive because people don't spend as much money. Unemployment increases. Many jobless people roam the country. This creates even less people spending money. The country goes into a deflationary spiral
