From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."

From the Paper
"For some analysts, the term, "New Economy," refers to the plethora of "dot com" companies which have come into existence in just the past few years, created new millionaires from young entrepreneurs, and changed retailing as consumers comparison shop and browse from their homes and offices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the ramifications of the New Economy move far beyond just using the Internet to reach catalog customers. Wilfred Corrigan, an executive in the semiconductor industry, notes that a primary difference between the Old Economy and the New Economy is the primary commodity which powers the two."

From the Paper
"It is an arguable fact that the initial American economy was built by outsiders....The Irish built the canals and tall new buildings and roads. The Chinese helped build transcontinental railroads. But, without entrepreneurs, some legitimate, some not, all this labor would have gone to waste. There were no true business giants in the rest of the world to compare with the Rockefellers, Morgans, Carnegies and Fords. Yet, the pioneers who settled this country now sat back and let hired imported cheap labor do much of the work. The American economy, as the 20th Century began, created an ever-widening gulf between the Have's and the Have-Nots. There was little sympathy for Communism as the voice of exploited workers. People like Eugene V. Debs and Norman Thomas developed Socialist political parties, but the were a distinct minority. Unions, on the other hand, began to flourish, and with them came the strong and powerful union leadership which, after World War II deteriorated into the same greedy, power-mad elite that they had organized to fight."

"As Americans we want to believe that our country was conceived in liberty, however, reality is that from almost the beginning America was greatly dependent on forced labor. By the early eighteenth century slavery was legal throughout America and was the primary source of labor in the South. Many of our nation?s founding fathers were slaveholders. Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, and Patrick Henry, who is famous for saying, ?Give me liberty or give me death!? were slave owners. Slavery was such a vital force eight of our first twelve presidents even owned slaves. "

Abstract
The accession to the throne of sultan Qaboos ibn Said inn 1970 marked the beginning of considerable political and economic changes in Oman. Realizing the importance of internal and local stability, the sultanate started coming out of its political isolation, forming alliances in the Middle East and maintaining good diplomatic relations with the western powers. Overall, sultan Qaboos supported a non-aligned foreign policy, determined by what is of best interest to the country. Alongside, the regime gradually modernized the country in an effort to develop the economy and attract foreign investment. Although infrastructural improvements, social changes, and economic reforms were progressively undertaken, the country still faces the challenges of its overdependence on oil and shortage of Omani labor force. As Omani oil reserves are depleting, the transition from rentier to a more diversified economy is imperative to the future economic growth of the sultanate. This paper explores the economy of Oman during the period of 1980-2004 and how it was affected by the regime's internal reforms, its involvement in the resolution of the local conflicts and its diplomatic ties with the U.S.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Oman and the Gulf Cooperation Council
Gulf War: Consequences
Iran-Iraq War and its Impact on Omani Economy and Political Stability
Omani Economy: Problems and Challenges
Social Reforms
Foreign Investment
U.S.- Omani Relations

Bibliography
From the Paper
"The signing of the Facility Access Agreement secured the positions of the regime, provided American economic support and expertise, and was crucial to establishing peace during the Gulf War. Also, Omani military alliance with the U.S. allowed the sultanate to divert some of the military spending and undertake more social reforms. Economically, the sultan introduced crucial reforms to make Oman an attractive investment destination. However, in order to fully exploit the foreign investment opportunities, the sultanate should fight the high level of corruption and introduce more transparency in the processes of privatization and business attraction."

"What is interesting about this certain period in the Japanese economy is the fact that the state used to trade the rice even before it was harvested. They would acquire several goods and products from international commerce partners, and promise to pay the counter value in rice once it was harvested. Today, we refer to these specific business making techniques as futures trade contracts."
"In the nineteenth century, the ruling power of Japan became the Tokugwana government. For the first time in the Japanese political economic history, the Tokugwana government officially liberalized trade relationships. Not only that, but the leading power also "first opened the country to Western commerce and influence." In this order of ideas, the Japanese government encouraged and supported young students to continue and specialize their studies abroad and, for those remaining in the country, brought Western professors to teach them the secrets of mathematics, physics, logistics and economics."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the north westernmost country in South America, Colombia. The writer notes that Colombia is the second most populated South American country next to Brazil and the majority of the population lives in the mountainous cities around the capital of Bogota. The writer points out that with this intense congregation of people in one area, the economy of Colombia is poor and unstable. This paper attempts to explain why the economy has fluctuated during the last thirty years and gives examples of life in Colombia as a result of an ever-changing economy.
From the Paper
"In 1999, Colombia suffered a recession as a result of low world oil prices, reduced export demand, and increased guerilla violence throughout the country. This caused an increase in unemployment, increased drug usage and sales, and devaluation of the Colombian peso. In 1999 at the time of the recession approximately 17.7% of the Colombia people were living at or below the national poverty line."
"As a result of the 1999 Colombian recession, unemployment quickly rose. There were more people in Colombia than jobs. Many companies closed because they could not afford to pay their employees. In the year 2000, the unemployment rate in Colombia reached 20%. This rate did not stay at 20% for long because of the instability in the Colombian economy, by 2006 the unemployment rate had improved and was at 13% which also decreased poverty and gained confidence among the people in foreign and domestic affairs."

Abstract
The following paper examines how the U.S. economy has been enjoying economic expansions and increasing new jobs by decreasing unemployment rate over the years.

From the Paper
"It is expected that the government's incentives to provide new production methods would enable the business sectors to increase their efficiency. Emphasizing on manufacturing process, introducing technologies to permit workers to analyze data as well as allowing adjustments in production line would be one positive aspect because it would lower the cost of production for industries. The government also plans to improve supply chain management, which has become the predominant factors that drive companies. With 55.6 in March, its best reading in two years, from 54.7 percent in February, 2002 of price index business oriented individuals would benefit from these aspects of change [Aversa, 2002]. "

Abstract
This report assesses the impact of the relatively new, global economy on organizations and examines attendant issues such as the opposition of globalization as a new type of economy and the more traditional notions of organizational functioning, which this paradigm has replaced. The report examines the impact that the global economy has had on organizations, focusing on how change in this environment has led some firms to react to the new type of economy, while others have taken more of a leading edge. The costs and benefits of these changes in regards to organizations are assessed, as are related issues of free trade in the global economy as opposed to national protectionism. The report provides a look at how changes in the global economy reflect changes in organizational management in terms of how the impact of the global economy is being managed and also presents relevant lessons that can be derived from this process. Before concluding, the report examines the issue of how management can ensure a positive effect on the organizational level.
From the Paper
"Even within the global economy, forms of economic protection can sometimes be justified to foster the growth or development of young industries that would otherwise be overrun, but this type of protectionism is inherently transitory, and is not to be taken as a concrete phenomenon. This ongoing debate between protectionism and free trade has caused many problems in the forum of international trade, specially with the relatively recent political polarization caused by pro- and anti-globalization advocates, and various resolutions have been attempted through various methods to seek a balanced trade policy that takes the arguments of both sides into account."

Abstract
This paper explores the effects of globalization which has accelerated industrial and occupational restructuring, resulting in the decline of some industries and jobs and the growth of others. The writer of this paper also discusses the early stages of the new economy which has seen income growth increasingly tied to education and occupation. This paper goes on to explain that by increasing the education and skill levels of American workers it will foster reduced wage inequality and faster economic growth. This paper also delves into the industry of information technology and its enormous potential to increase efficiency and raise productivity which is a critical component of the new economy.
From the Paper
"Working with information is very different from working with the steel and glass. Information is easier to produce and harder to control than stuff you can drop on your foot. For a start, computers can copy it and ship it anywhere, almost instantly and almost for free. Production and distribution, the basis of industrial power, can increasingly be taken for granted. Innovation and marketing are all. By the New Economy, we mean two broad trends that have been under way for several years. The first is the globalization of business."

The Enron Debacle and the U.S.Economy, 2002.
This paper discusses that although when Enron collapsed many feared it would plunge the economy into a tailspin; the debacle really had both bad and good effects on the economy.

Abstract
This paper explains that the crisis at Enron has had a negative impact on the United States economy but not the total impact that many believed it would have. The author states that, when Enron began to collapse, it started an avalanche or economic panic and activity nationwide, which the U.S. managed to level out; but the lack of confidence remained heavy for more than a year afterwards. The paper concludes that, from the Enron debacles, a blue print for a better check and balance system was developed and now provides a governmental watchdog.
From the Paper
"The key to Enron?s undoing was about stock mistakes. ?The company committed to put $1.2 billion of Enron stock into the Raptors to make them more creditworthy. It did not promise a fixed number of shares -- it promised $1.2 billion worth, regardless of the share price, a seriously dumb move for a company that talks about hedging risks. In return for that commitment, the Raptors gave Enron $1.2 billion of promissory notes. Enron put them on its balance sheet as an asset. When a company adds to its assets and nothing else changes, its net worth rises. Hence, Enron marked up its net worth by $1.2 billion. But, as the stock prices of Rhythms, NewPower and Enron all sank, Enron faced having to fork over a ruinous number of new shares." This was the beginning of the end and the ripple affect on the stock market caused a negative impact on the nation?s economy."

The United States Economy, 2004.
An analysis of the global economy, in general, and the American economy, in particular.

Abstract
This paper examines the overall global economic conditions, in general, and explores the economic effects on the American people. The paper analyzes economic indicators like the gross domestic product, inflation as measured by the consumer price index, unemployment, capacity utilization, personal income, and the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank. The paper contends that, unfortunately, the short term forecast for the United States economy looks shaky.
From the Paper
"The United States and world economies have been sputtering a bit as the world has to contend with the likes of external economic issues such as inflation, the effects of past and potential future acts of terrorism, the ongoing oil crisis and the War in Iraq. Corporate America has been highly profitable but at the expense of relocation to new emerging markets abroad. The automobile industry and manufacturing as a whole has needed a lift as cheap labor and other economic necessities have cut jobs all over the United States. Consider what has occurred in the airline industry."

Beyond Barter: A Social Commons Gift Economy, 2007.
A discussion of Beyond Barter, the Los Angeles Skills Pool, a functioning gift economy.

Abstract
This paper examines why Beyond Barter, the Los Angeles Skills Pool, is a good example of a functioning gift economy. The paper points out that the organization is an example of a group offering and receiving services without using money to facilitate the transaction. The "value" of each received service is not compared to the services one contributes to the group. The paper explains that members of the pool are geographically concentrated, mainly by the constraints of service exchange, and form a community gift economy that fits the general model put forth in the theory on the subject. The paper maintains that the organization survives because it is useful and provides services to its members at a lower cost than the market. The paper concludes with an analysis of threats to the future of Beyond Barter and other gift economies.
Outline:
Introduction
What is a Gift Economy?
Why Are gift Economies such as Beyond Barter Viable?
Beyond Barter
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In The Global Idea of the Commons, Nononi defines the social commons as "access by users to social resources created by specific kinds of human labor." This includes such activities as caring of the young and elderly, household upkeep, and activities undertaken by the state, such as infrastructure and policing. Looking forward to our example, Beyond Barter allows members to trade these social services without attaching a price to each act. The end result is a community that realizes higher utility as a whole than individually, because the lack of capitalist allocation did not exclude some members from service. The positive externalities of the structure also improve welfare in the community as shown in the clean drinking water example. The trickle down of positive effects from the skills pool improves the lives of its members both financially and personally. "Besides saving a great deal of money, members enjoy meeting a lot of terrific people.... The L.A. Bargain Book's editor is in her second year as a Beyond Barter member and speaks highly of the group (Hunter)." This enthusiasm highlights a key attribute of the skills pool- member involvement and satisfaction. The pool allows members to interact with others in a more personal manner than traditional capitalism. The absence of monetary exchange personalizes the transaction."
