Event Planning and Business Entertainment in the U.S. Corporate World

A liberal democracy can survive for a while on institutional strength and widespread agreement. As long as most people are generally satisfied with how things are going (or have made peace with the status quo), it is easy to imagine that something like a social contract will keep things on track. Hamish MacAuley makes a persuasive case that many Canadians came of age politically between the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the 2008 financial crisis, when consensus was widespread and politics seemed optional, thus many chose to stay out. We abandoned democratic governing habits during prosperous times. Instead, we played politics. In response, McGill's Jacob T. Levy advocates for political action that rejects the status quo while also refusing to burn it all down or take our ball and go home. We should participate in politics, even if it is unsatisfying. When the foundations of our democratic structure or the rights of vulnerable people are jeopardized, it makes sense to delegate aut

The Impact of Political Instability on USA Retail Business

There are a lot of cork trees here in Portugal. The cork comes from the trees. About 70% of all the cork that is shipped around the world comes from us.So our cork tree is a sign of our forest and is very important to our economy and society. Because of this, the law protects it. But I can tell you that the law is very strict. Plain and easy, you can't cut it down, almost never (but sometimes). If you have a cork tree in your yard, you will be fined if you cut it down, even if it's only in your garden and isn't hurting your house. Yes, there are cork trees all over the country.Even though the law takes into account the cultural and socioeconomic importance, who really gains from it? The firms that sell cork.Large companies, like Corticeira Amorim, which is one of our biggest and the world's biggest cork producer, take over a lot of cork tree fields and cut the cork out of the trees. By law, they have to cut down as many cork trees as they can in order to make more cork. The more cork they ship, the more money they make.

This was meant to show you that businesses are not wandering groups that don't have to follow any rules.

Almost every market and every company has rules. Any change in the law can have an effect, either good or bad, and can cause businesses to rethink their approach or plan.Disturbances in politics have an effect on politics because most of the time they turn into violent protests. Like, the farmers' movement in M.P., where political parties worked together to say bad things about the government, caused damage to both public and private property, such as buses. If there are problems with the government, foreign companies won't want to put money into that country, which makes it hard to do business. When these things happen, the markets are often shut down, which slows down business. India already has a lot of paperwork that makes doing business hard, and now there are two government problems at once, which hurts business. People are less productive at work because of these political unrests, which often involve workers' unions and strikes.Government is not a business, and we should all be involved in it since the decisions it makes affect all of our lives.right now, when we have too much production, we could all afford this very important luxury if our economy was owned and run by all of us freely.Businesses can be thought of as living things.

The main idea is that societies and other complex, chaotic processes can't be fixed.

Any attempt to separate one part will change the structure as a whole, so they can't be studied using standard experiments. That's why managing from the top down doesn't work. You need to deal with the whole system. That can only be done going up from the bottom. This is something that the social planners we have now seem to have forgotten. They go down from the top.Just like how our bodies are like a collection of cells, this picture shows that. Society is made up of many organisms, like people, companies, and the government. Together, they make up a much bigger organism. Anything that changes one part of structure changes the whole thing, just like in our bodies. The important thing to keep in mind is that societies can't run themselves, so we have to use top-down control. Putting together a group of workers and telling them to build a bridge doesn't work without some planning, starting with the engineer who planned it. In the end, though, the "morality" of the workers, builders, politicians, and contractors will determine how good the bridge is. The morals are where the hidden structure is.

Organizations can't be moral because that takes choice, and only people can make choices.

There's another way the bridge comparison can help. If one part breaks, the whole building will fall down. The properties of the materials used are hard to predict because they are like the complicated, chaotic world we live in. Because of this, the engineers have to use big safety gaps that make use of resources less efficiently. In the same way, societies can't have big safety gaps and waste resources efficiently. Our social engineers care too much about safety and not enough about getting things done. The effects of putting resources in one place are hard to predict because complex chaos systems are not always stable. That's how liberal democracy works: decisions are given to the lowest level of social engineering possible, which is the person in the end. It's a kind of bottom-up system that works pretty well. It's not as useful right now as top-down planning, but it fits with how society works naturally.

Brazil and the USA: A Comparative Look at Urban Life

  National economies are propelled by cities These spaces are attractive to the most productive firms and the most talented workers due to the agglomeration advantages they generate, which are the primary cause for their existence. This environment is conducive to growth and development. Cities promote economic advancement by facilitating the sharing, matching, and learning of individuals and businesses through their high density (DURANTON; PUGA, 2004). Furthermore, Marshall (1890) asserted that ideas are "in the air," which implies that the mere concentration of individuals could result in novel outcomes. The functional role of each city in an urban system is contingent upon its ability to provide more specialized products and services to the surrounding areas (LĂ–SCH, 1964; CHRISTALLER, 1966). Given that population development enhances the capacity to generate economies of agglomeration and market potential, the centrality level of cities is also correlated with population s

The Biggest Brazilian Community in the USA: A Cultural Hub

To like, stop inflation, the policymakers of the first military government were like, "Yo, let's introduce this sick package that includes: a) cutting government deficits; b) controlling the money flow; and c) adjusting wages based on inflation and productivity. It's gonna be lit, fam! The plan totally flopped on its initial goals - only 10% in '66 - but it did manage to bring down inflation from a crazy 89.9% in '64 to 37.9% in '66 and 26.5% in '67. Furthermore, Figure 3 below flexes a steady drop in inflation rates throughout the economic miracle. By Brazilian standards, the period was like, totally lit in controlling price rises. Which parts of the anti-inflation policies actually stopped inflation tho? The Poli Econ of the Stabilisation Policy wage dropped steadily from 1964 up to 1968 and then kept almost constant throughout the "economic miracle." On the flip side, the "white collar" peeps were totally vibing with the economic bo

The Top Profitable Business Trends in Brazil

OMG, like the private banks were all about reducing credit stuff and focusing on investing in things from the public sector. So lit, right? First, banks like totally shifted credit stuff from private sector to public entities (check out Table 38 below). Second, the foreign currency remunerated deposits in the BACEN (regulated by the Circular Letter 230) became hella popular amongst commercial banks. OMG, in 1978 those deposits were only like 1.6% of the banks' total assets. But then in December 1979 and February 1983, they went cray and increased like six times. By 1983, they were like 9.3% of all the commercial banks' assets. OMG, in 1979, public securities were only, like, 17% of the investments in shares and securities. But in 1983, they were, like, a whopping 80%! Yo, peep Figure 18 up there, it's all about the financialisation of the non-financial corporation market value. Like, a big chunk of those financial investments were totally tied to the value of public bonds c
