Americans are brainwashed to believe the weak dollar encourages selling as if the entire nation wil benefit. Just ask any third world nation what a weak dollar means and they will tell you exactly what it really means: YOU are a poor country as America will soon be if the dollar continues to fall.

To survive they must catch fish and collect driftwood. The more fish and wood they collect the better off they are. Person A requires 1.5 hours to catch a fish and 3 hours to collect a bundle of wood. The younger person B only requires 0.5 hours to catch a fish and 1.5 hours to collect the same bundle of wood. One day, they spot a new island on the horizon with identical natural resources. Person A cannot swim but person B is an excellent swimmer and could easily inhabit the new island. Would be in the best interest (from a purely economic point of view) of person B to abandon A and move to the new island?

I was wondering what motivation do developed nations have in helping developing countries? Why should they pour billions of dollars in aid when that money could be spent on enriching their own people?

Nike and Reebok (athletic shoe companies) are considering whether or not to advertise during the Super Bowl. Devise a simple prisoners' dilemma game to demonstrate the strategic considerations that are relevant to this decision. Does the repeated game scenario differ from a single period game? Is it possible that a repeated game (without collusive agreements) could lead to an outcome that is better than a single-period game? Explain the circumstances in which this may be true.

1. In markets where the government imposes an excise tax on unit sales, it also has a tendency to dabble with restrictions on advertising (for example, cigarettes and hard liquor). Do potential (or actual) restrictions on advertising in these markets serve the interest of a government that is interested in maximizing its tax revenue from the sale of these products? Explain your answer.

If you are unsure of what this theory is, here is a brief summary:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

I find this theory quite fascinating. And I do think it could happen one day, but its impossible to predict when it could begin, as the technology of oil extraction and refinement, as well as oil efficiency, seems to be always increasing.

What do you think?

Will this ever happen?

And if so, when?

If not, why not?

Is anyone else twisted by the irony about the fact that in the summer months they lower the price but soon as the winter comes, BOOM huge rises in prices. I can understand about oil prices are going up but they know people use 80% less gas during summer and 100% more during winter. Also the fact that they always seem to announce record profits really does bug me

also we have been told its going to be a very cold winter so while we rub our hands to warm up, those corporate scammers are rubbing there hands with greed, easy wealth and sucess

I asked this yesterday but I'm sure there are more good answers to be heard.

This is not about the actual time the oil runs out, nor about any particular oil reserve. When ALL the oil on this planet runs out WHERE would be seeing the least human disaster and industrial shutdown?
