How about asking them about the US plan to provide nuclear fuel to India? \nWar in Iraq questions are always good... how about, "what will it take for the EU to begin security control in Iraq?"\nHow about something about Belarus and their recent elections.  "What steps is the EU taking to eliminate dictatorships in Europe?"

The basic premise of economics is supply v. demand. If the supply is not there to meet the demand, the economy suffers on a macro level.\n\nAn example:\n"Not too long ago, almost one quarter of the trees in the\nAppalachian forests were American chestnuts. They helped\nsupport not only wildlife but the people living among\nthem. Chestnuts were an important cash crop for many\nfamilies. As year-end holidays approached, nuts by the\nrailroad car were sold and shipped to northeastern cities.\nChestnut timber, strong and rot resistant, was prized for\nbuilding barns, fences, furniture, and other products. ...\nFirst detected in 1904, an Asian fungus to which native\nchestnuts had little resistance appeared in New York City\ntrees. The blight spread quickly, and by 1950 the American\nchestnut was virtually extinct except for occasional root\nsprouts that also became infected. Organizations such\nas the American Chestnut Foundation are working with\nplant breeders to develop a disease resistant strain and\nrestore it to the eastern forests."\n\nWhen was the last time you heard of anyone roasting chestnuts on an open fire during the holidays?\n\nThe families that sold chestnuts lost their income, the wholesalers lost their supply and the retailers of chestnuts lost their customers for chestnuts. The flow of money stopped when it comes to chestnuts.\n\nYou could draw the same conclusions when discussing the economic implications of commercial fishing regulations. If you want to utilize the microeconomic implications you could look at any single business entity that was lost as a result of regulation. There must be thousands of examples, like hunting expedition companies, the fur trappers of the old west...

Anything by Thomas Friedman, the 3X Pulitzer prize winning Foreign Correspondent from the N.Y. Times.\n\n"The Lexus and the Olive Tree"\n"Longitudes and Attitudes"\n"The World Is Flat (revised)"\n\nThese three are in order of when written. The second one is a compendium of his N.Y. Times Opinion Columns, lots of different topics. The third is a close look at Globalization and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking at the world of future employment and international cooperation.\n\nFor class discussion, use the second. For class enlightenment, use the third.

1. Globalisation. \n   \nNo longer can management think in the box. Focus is on the world much more than localities.\n\n2. Information Superhighway.\n\nThe World Wide Web has changed the way we market. Various options will need to be looked at before money is committed to any form of marketting.\n\n3. Delivery\n\nShipping used to be easy. With the world as your market, logistics have to be in place to meet these needs.\n\n4. International Laws\n\nThe boderless world however necessitates that we know and appreciate international laws which can affect us.\n\n5. Foreign Currency.\n\nHedging, Conversions, exchange rates etc all these are key to operating in the changing world .

Lowered taxes.... no terrorist attacks, economy booming (because of lowered taxes), unemployment at it's lowest *ever* (again, because of lowered taxes), fighting the Islamic Jihadist (who wish to take away my right to exist)....\n\nIs that enough?
