Germany's affluent and technologically powerful economy - the fifth largest in the world - has become one of the slowest growing economies in Europe. The modernization and integration of the eastern German economy continues to be a costly long-term process, with annual transfers from west to east amounting to roughly $70 billion. German GDP sits at around $2.8 trillion, while the average per capita sits at $29, 700.\nGermany depends largely on exporting, and is in fact the world’s largest exporting country with exports for 2005 totaling $1.016 trillion. German exports include machinery, vehicles, chemicals, metals, foodstuffs, electronics, textiles and electricity. Germany’s biggest export partners are: France (10.3%), US (8.8%), UK (8.3%), Italy (7.2%), Netherlands (6.2%), Belgium (5.6%), Austria (5.4%), and Spain (5%). \nAs a nation that relies heavily on international trade, Germany also imports a wide variety of goods. Germany is the world's second largest importer of goods with a total of $801 billion in imports.Germany's main imports are machinery, vehicles, chemicals, foodstuffs, textiles and metals. Germany’s biggest import partners are: France (9%), Netherlands (8.3%), US (7%), Italy (6.1%), UK (5.9%), China (5.6%), Belgium (4.9%), and Austria (4.2%).

Many of your propositions are well pinpointed. It looks like you are well informed and shrewd. I am sure I wouldn't teach you much more than you already know. I would just say that nearly all of of the options you propose may happen at the same time within a relatively short laps of time in case of grave world-sized crisis.

All that crap about aggreagte demand and supply and marginal propensity to save. Whatever! Who really uses this anyways? The first day of class the teacher told us there was a very low rate for passing the class. Then I have to take microeconomics since im a business major. I hate econ!

I wish our economy was this bad all the time!\n\nWages - up!\nUnemployment - low!\nInflation - Low\nStock Market - up!\nHome ownership - up!\nTaxes - down!\nTax Revenue - up!\nBudget Deficit - down!\n\nPS....To g:  I'm comparing today's economy to that of a few years ago.  By the way, the stock market started tanking in March 2000, long before Bush become president.  Unemployment also started rising as he entered office, that very month.  Both due to the dot.com bubble bursting.  Are you going to blame that on Bush?  Then of course we had the economic hit of 9/11.  Also, historically 4.6% unemployment is very low, and beats much of Clinton's term. Just go to www.bls.gov and look up historical figures.\n\nTo CORiverRat - please look at census data that shows ALL income levels going up in 2005, and the poor going up in 2004, while the rich got poorer.\n\nPPS....To g:  I guess you didn't understand the concept of a "bubble" economy.  The economy grew far faster than reasonable during Clinton, and then the bubble burst in late 2000.  I'm not blaming Clinton for the bubble and the burst, merely setting the stage.  Yes Clinton inherited a poor economy from Bush 41, and he left a tanking economy for Bush 43.\n\nYou want to give Clinton credit for the great economy of the late 90's.  Fine.  Tell me what policies he enacted to cause it?  Fact is he was the beneficiary of a new industry starting (dot.com) that created lots of wealth and jobs.  He did nothing to encourage it, or cause the bubble burst.\n\nBush instead gets hit with 9/11 instead of a brand new industry that creates new wealth and jobs.  Thems the breaks.  Just look at things honestly.

Wow you are a big brave guy.  You write jabs at people and end your question before anyone can respond to it.  \n\nI guess the micro pen joke is actually not a joke at all.  And just like a typical liberal when you cannot logically prove your thesis you start hurling insults to make up for your lack of intellect.\n\nWell I will post my response here and answer this question.\n\nHow many economic classes have you taken?  I can definitely see not many.  Currency deflation is an economic strategy.  Did you know Japan has purposely deflated it's currency five time in the last 20 years?  Last time I checked Japan is the second largest economy in world.\n\nA weaker currency can be a bad thing, but not in the case of the US.  Our largest trading partners have their currency pegged to ours.  The commodities Americans need for everyday use are traded in dollars not foreign currencies, so the price of these good does not increase just because the dollar decreases.\n\nLet me give you a simple, easy macroeconomic example.  I will use the Euro and Microsoft.  The Euro is trading higher than the dollar, and next year Microsoft plans to release Vista.  This mean two things either Microsoft can sell Vista at a cheaper price meaning more Europeans will buy copies then they would have previously, which means that Microsoft will have even more revenue and expand the US economy.  Or the more likely scenario is that Microsoft will keep the price of Vista the same, since they probably figure they will sell just as many copies either way.  If they sell Vista at the same price they planned to sell it for two years ago, then since the Euro is worth more against the dollar, Microsoft will generate more revenue; and again expand the US economy.\n\nNow multiply this example by hundreds of tech companies, and thousands of other companies. The result is large economic expansion.\n\nNow, long term, meaning if the dollar stays low for 20, 30, or 40 years, there may be dire consequences.  Global commodity exchange markets could stop standardizing on the dollar, etc.  But that most likely will not happen, as the US economy grows because of the weaker dollar, the dollar will automatically increase in value.\n\nWhy don't you educate yourself before you make such asinine comments.  If just makes you look like a fool.\n\nNow to answer this question.\n\nWarming and cooling trends on the earth are cyclical and have nothing to do with the actions of human beings.\n\nIn fact, the current CO2 level is the lowest it has been in the entire geologic history of the earth.  In fact, grasses only evolved and started to flourish because they require less carbon dioxide than other plant life.  Likewise, many plant species became extinct because the level of carbon dioxide has decreased so dramatically.\n\n-------\nJake F. I cannot believe how stupid you are about to look.  So, the atmospheric carbon dioxide level today is the highest it has ever been ever, huh?\n\nWell, let's take a look at mid-Cretaceous period 120 to 90 Million years ago. During that period of geologic history the carbon dioxide levels where AT LEAST 2 to 4 times higher than they are today.  And the levels were even higher before the Cretaceous period.  \n\nRead it for yourself on the NOAA website, which is not some nameless site; but the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration!\n\nhttp://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/cretaceous.html\n\n\nI wish I could see the look on your face, and that face would be the face of the dumbest person on earth!\n\nOuch!  Burned toast!!\n\nRemember the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and has gone through numerous climate changes.  When people talk about global warming they are only looking at the past 100-200 years or maybe the past 1000 years of time, which isn't even one one-trillionth the amount of time the earth has existed.\n\nAnd micro pen, I do not care about making personal comments to you.  I would rather make them publicly, as far as the

I wasn't there, but currently I am an exchange student in germany. My host sister is studying math there, and she says it's absolutly beautiful. There is the 'Philosopher's Weg' (way) that has a lovely view, the old castel and Altstadt are also really pretty. I'm excited to be going there later in June! Good luck studying there! It's got a great rep and is beautiful to boot!

usually for Germany, housing must open up so that you can get off th eplane and move right into housing.  Lioving on the economy is not practical or prudent for Junior Enlisted.  This could take a few months .. I know people who are still waiting 6-9 months later.

Doug North's "Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance" will be essential to understanding where the field has gone recently.  It's much more concrete than Stiglitz' "Globalization", which, while interesting, carries a lot of opinionizing among the little bit of theory.  North is considered the premier authority on institutions in the academic world today.  I've also attached a reading list from one of the recent events in the field, and it's pretty comprehensive.\n\nThose should keep you busy for a while.  :)

"Black Friday" early indicators of the Christmas season, the "cylical" prediction of the state of our economy. Throw on top the cost of a ten fold increase if Chas. Rangel gets his way (he has brought it up for vote before)  and they reinstate the draft. Remember the democrats have gutted our military, our mothballed equipment is cannibalized to keep what we have moving, the bases have been liquidated, overseas bases handed back to those countries that hosted them, and fought against every appropriation for new equipment and new technology to keep pace with our modernized enemies (Isreal went into Lebanaon thinking they had the upper hand of technology and quickly found out their toys were obsolete). The cost of equipping a new army, let alone housing, clothing and feeding it, are immense especially when they just promised to bring overseas troops home, reduce the deficit and not raise taxes before the election. They are not even in control and already spending us into oblivion, plus the dollar is at the weakest point (because we'll have to float a lot of debt, and print a lot of dollars, just like the USSR did to support a massive military) since 1978, because countries have or announced they will be dropping the dollar for the EU, "thanks for all your help and lucrative trade deals, USA". OIf course we are told this will help American exports, if there are any factories left here, and no trade barriers aginst their products as is often the case in these foreign countries we kiss up to. Gold is up, and that's always a bad sign, money is going overseas and out of American investments. My advice is dig up you backyard for a vegetable garden, you may be needing food by this time next year.
