Many markets - esp. media-related markets such as magazines, newspapers, websites, tv channels etc. have fragmented and are increasingly catering to niche audiences.

Other markets - banks, steel, enterprise software etc. have consolidated over time.

Can an economist or some financial expert point me to the fundamental forces in play that determine whether a market will fragment or consolidate over time ?

Can someone please explain to me what Friedman's theory was that they referenced in 'Syriana', and if the reference they used in the movie was accurate in regards to what Friedman actually said?

Thanks,

No, I tell you. No, sir. Corruption charges! Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win.

Hey guys I have been wondering more and more after reading about the events in the 30s around the world if by chance we could possibly be heading in teh same direction. Clearly there is at least a another recession at the least but do any of you guys think it could get as bad as the 30s? I would love to hear your thoughts about this subject.

Consider a central bank that wants to keep the inflation (the growth rate of the price level) at exactly 2.5% over the next year. The bank’s economists estimate that output growth will lead to an increase in the real demand for liquidity of 1.5%.

a) By how much will the central bank change the money supply to achieve its goal?

b) Briefly explain how the central bank can increase the money supply.




Thanks for helping

I need to analyze the growth of US trade with China and India. Is growth of these and other Asian economies a threat to the US? I'd prefer to hear both sides(pros and cons), if that's possible.

Everthing is brought in from outside our boarders and it's EVERTHING! Big ticket items and Walmart junk. So who has the control in a situation like that? The working class have little or no choise but to depend on this stuff, while the rich don't need any of it at all. I'm seeing the rich prospering so much off of the middle class that they seem to not even want us around anymore. If imports can do us in as a major part of society, that will make America the land of the RICH - ONLY! Only a sellect few to service the machine they create will be privilaged enough to stay, only to oil the sqweeky wheels. Will Government become even more like Corporation? Not a democracy, but a utility for the benefit of the richest only? It saddens me to say, I've seen this exact thing taking place in the work place at every job I have ever had. SO, WHAT'S MY PROBLEM? Is it only me?

US owes trillions in external debt. And also a significant amount to China. The Federal Reserve keeps creating money out of thin air to pay off some of the debt. So why not print money instead of borrowing and then printing money to pay off the debt?

a) Monopolistic competitive firms protect their economic profits with barriers to entry.
b) the telecommunications industry is made up of three very large firms and thousands of smaller firms. Because there are so many firms, it cannot be classified as an oligopoly.
c) Monopolistically competitive firms are efficient because in the long run price falls to equal margin cost.
