The income/capital distinction is crucial in taxation law. In Eisner v Macomber 252 US 189 (1919) Pitney J observed that: The fundamental relation of capital to income has been much discussed by economists, the former being likened to the tree on the land, the latter to the fruit or the crop: the former depicted as a reservoir supplied from the springs, the latter as the outlet stream to be measured by its flow during a period of time..

The Greek Sovereign Debt Crisis When the euro was established, some critics worried that free-spending countries in the euro zone (such as Italy and Greece) might borrow excessively, running up large public- sector deficits that they could not finance. This would then rock the value of the euro, requiring their more sober brethren, such as Germany or France, to step in and bail out the profligate nation. In 2010, this worry became a reality as a financial crisis in Greece hit the value of the euro. The financial crisis had its roots in a decade of free spending by the Greek government, which ran up a high level of debt to finance extensive spending in the public sector. Much of the spending increase could be characterized as an attempt by the government to buy off powerful interest groups in Greek society, from teachers and farmers to public-sector employees, rewarding them with high pay and extensive benefits. To make matters worse, the government misled the international community about the level of its indebtedness. In October 2009, a new government took power and quickly announced that the 2009 public-sector deficit, which had been projected to be around 5 percent, would actually be 12.7 percent. The previous government had apparently been cooking the books. This shattered any faith that international investors might have had in the Greek economy. Interest rates on Greek government debt quickly surged to 7.1 percent, about 4 percentage points higher than the rate on German bonds. Two of the three international rating agencies also cut their ratings on Greek bonds and warned that further downgrades were likely. The main concern now was that the Greek government might not be able to refinance some 20 billion of debt that would mature in April or May 2010. A further concern was that the Greek government might lack the political willpower to make the large cuts in public spending necessary to bring down the deficit and restore investor confidence. Nor was Greece alone in having large public-sector deficits. Three other euro zone countriesSpain, Portugal, and Irelandalso had large debt loads, and interest rates on their bonds surged as investors sold out. This raised the specter of financial contagion, with large-scale defaults among the weaker members of the euro zone. If this did occur, the EU and IMF would most certainly have to step in and rescue the troubled nations. With this possibility, once considered very remote, investors started to move money out of euros, and the value of the euro started to fall on the foreign exchange market. Recognizing that the unthinkable might happenand that without external help, Greece might default on its government debt, pushing the EU and the euro into a major crisisin May 2010, the euro zone countries, led by Germany, along with the IMF agreed to lend Greece up to 110 billion. These loans were judged sufficient to cover Greeces financing needs for three years. In exchange, the Greek government agreed t.

The global political environment can be understood via an appreciation of ideologies and political systems. Ideologies, including individualism and collectivism, reflect underlying tendencies in society. Political systems, including democracy and totalitarianism, incorporate ideologies into political structures. There are fewer and fewer purely collectivist or socialist societies, although totalitarianism still exists in several countries and regions. Many countries are experiencing transitions from more socialist to democratic systems, reflecting related trends discussed in Chapter 1 toward more market-oriented economic systems. Considering recent events in Canada with the Freedom Convoy and Russias recent invasion of Ukraine, how do you believe ideologies and political systems have impacted these countries?.

The Chilean Mine Disaster: A Case Study On August 5, 2010, 33 Chilean miners drilling for copper and gold almost a half mile beneath the surface were trapped by a massive cave-in. Within hours of the accident, the miners found one another, all alive and unharmed, and began to organize for what was sure to be a long stay underground and for a possible rescue attempt. For the next 17 days, the miners were cut off completely from the outside world, living in what they called their "refuge" and carefully monitoring food, water, and sanitation. Though the miners rarely talked about those first days (once they were finally removed from the cavern), some divulged that there were serious meltdowns among some of the younger members and strong hints of friction in the beginning stages of the disaster - as you might imagine. Then a drill operator on the surface felt some vibrations, a drill came back up with red paint, and another came up with a note, saying, "We are fine in the refuge - the 33." With that, hope of rescue was ignited beneath the ground while the rescue effort above became even more focused. The country's president promised to use all available resources to extract the miners. While the intensity of the rescue effort above ground was difficult and stressful, the courage and skill of the miners in managing their situation became legendary to people around the world. Health officials were initially concerned about the emotional state of several of the miners, but the miners developed their own team or "society," including roles to care for their fellow captives. Some were assigned to make a space for exercise; others were assigned to make a plan for allocating resources. The shift leader, Luis Urzua, 54, became the leader of the group, acting through democratic processes on major decisions but also bringing order to the group through his calm and unflustered manner. Another miner commented, "We had a boss who every day said we must stay strong." It was he who also insisted that everyone wait to eat until all had been served through the tiny shaft that first connected the miners with the surface. Another veteran of the mines, 65-year-old Mario Gomez, became the spiritual leader of the group, urging prayers and helping to counsel members of the group who were most susceptible to distress. (In this, he often communicated with a group of psychologists on the surface). Finally, Yonny Barrios, 50, who took a 6-month nursing course many years ago, became the group's medical "doctor," administering shots and vaccinations, as well as dispensing medicines sent from the surface. After 69 record-breaking days in the mine, the group emerged one by one through a narrow tube that had been constructed. As you can imagine, the stress of the event took a roll, with many of the miners suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and others showing signs of alcoholism. But by staying together and building a team with a culture of confidence and resilience and res.

The country of origin is ITALY As you begin to explore opportunities to do business in another part of the world, you'll most likely want to know something about current trade relationships. 1. Does the country you're exploring currently trade with businesses in the United States? 2. What's the value of goods exported to the U.S.? 3. At the same time, what's the value of goods imported from the U.S.? (The difference between those two figures is known as the 'balance of trade'.) 4. And what kinds of products are being traded from one country to the other? Focus on the country you've chosen to examine over the course of your first few assignments. 5. What's the total value of goods exported from that country to the United States in 2021 (in U.S. dollars)? 6. Additionally, what's the total value of goods imported to that country from the United States in 2021 (in U.S. dollars)? (Data for the year 2022 may not yet be available.) 7. The second part asks that you identify the top three export categories associated with that other country. Having done that, identify the top three import categories from that same country..
