This study took place a long time ago. I am guessing anywhere from the 1940's to the 1960's. In those days the work place was very strict, no talking allowed.The study did show an improvement in productivity ,but better and improved lighting was not the reason. The productivity increased because the employee's where allowed to talk to each other. I heard of this study 20 years ago, in my labor economics class in college.
Could you help me find the name of the study and who conducted the study.?
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you see that greed is good for some but we all inhabit the same planet where wealth is not been distributed as it should be and individuals and specially companies(WHICH ARE MADE AND RUN BY HUMANS TOO) don´t care about destroying the environment as there is money involved,etc.

I am not an economist so I dont know, but I hear on the news that the Federal Reserve Board isn't making it a priority to reverse the trend. If they really wanted to focus on making a stronger dollar would they be able to?

I was thinking that WEALTH IS TRADED especially in ASSETS SUCK AS STOCK and stock is being traded and so your actually buying part of the companies land and assets etc. MONEY really isn't traded it's just USED as a score card so to speak for how MUCH GOODS and Wealth one can have to TRADE. IS my idea correct? So then people are always talking about the economy and how bad it is people like Bill gates are around and such but DOES THIS REALLY MATTER IF WEALTH IS TRADED. Anyway opinions and ideas and are my ideas correct?

My textbook says it is "the proposition that real GDP per person grows because technological change induces a level of saving and investment that makes capital per hour of labor grow."

I don't understand the "savings and investment" component of it. Who's savings are we talking about? How can savings impact technological growth (am I even on the right track)?

Other than jargon, this textbook has proved to be little help. Please help me rationalize this concept. I'm so confused and have an upcoming midterm. Thanks!!
