You get free tickets to see the Beattles, which you cannot resell. Your best alternative is The Rolling Stones who are also playing the same night at a cost of $120. On any normal night you would be willing to pay up to $150 to see The Beattles. You decide to go see The Rolling Stones anyway. What is your opportunity cost? Explain.

Do you think the infiltration of third world workers will cause an economic collapse and disolve our system into worse than the system we currently have?

I've been wondering about this for some time now.
I asked an English guy the same question and he said he thinks it's because the Australian economy isn't as strong as the British one, so their currency is dollar, not GB pound (because dollar is also weaker than GB pound). But still, why, when Australia is a member of the Commonwealth, an ex British colony?

Most prosperous civilizations, which i have heard of, have in differeng, forms some element of exploitation. This leads to the suffering of others and prosperity of the benefacting civilization. Most of us know of the slave trade ect, but even today all the prosperous countries and even businesses exploit in order to prosper, eg cheap labour which many clothes manaufacturer employ, slave labour in Dubai, America's oil exploitation, the situation in oil rich yet poverty striken Nigeria, supermarkets who use minimum wage workers, to name just a few. So my question is, is it possible to raise anything prosperous without exploitation or is exploitation a prerequisite for economic growth and prosperity.

Is it because when the prices goes up, demand goes down, which is why the interest rate falls? I have read this over and over in textbooks and still don't see why...

Also should i be looking at this from the viewpoint of the lender or the borrower....

...Thats 32 years and can not completely change due to segments of our society that are still lagging.
The metrication movement of America is a necessary step if our country is to continue to do well in the world economy.

....We better wise up....

C´mon America, you can do it!!
