The citizens in Burundi blame poor access to financing and corruption as the two most problematic factors for bad economy. Burundi’s Governance had an highly predatory style of ethno-political competition, in which control over the state was the key objective while control over business merely served this greater purpose.

the state, she explains, has been far more than a condition-setter and market fixer — it’s been a “a market shaper” and an essential risk-taker because of its willingness to take risks in areas where the private sector has been too risk averse. She takes iPhone as an example. She explains GPS and the Internet, that are widely used in iPhone, were the direct results of investments made by the US military’s DARPA and NAVSTAR; multitouch, which TEDsters originally saw at TED2006 when Jeff Han took the stage, was crafted with the help of grants from the CIA and National Science Foundation. And public venture-capital schemes like the Small Business Innovation Research Initiative helped finance companies like Apple, Compaq and Intel in their early stages of development. Her reports demonstrate that the world-leading private sector as well as innovation was possible because of the government. Without government role of taking risks in these types of

In "New Nationalism", a thought on the role of government in Big Business is that there should be more control.
This assignment was very interesting, since we were looking at a department at SU. To be honest, I don't think I managed my time well for this assignment. Because of midterms, I ended up missing two classes in which I also missed some crucial information regarding this assignment. When it actually came down to

There are many perspectives people have when it comes to TNC’s, for example; activists and some nation-states have begun to challenge TNC’s, including the liberal capitalist system. One example of this is the “Occupy Wall Street movement that has focused popular attention on the inequality that invariably accompanies the spread of TNC’s and lightly regulated capitalism” (Balaam and Dillman 433). Fast developing countries such as China, Brazil, and India have created giant state controlled companies that “The Economist magazine claims represent a form of state capitalism and the most difficult foe that liberal capitalism has faced so far” (Balaam and Dillman 433). Liberals argue that “given this underlying identity of national and cosmopolitan
In order to do this will have to do some fast research and be ready as soon as the subject is brought up again. The longer you wait the harder it will be to make your case. The next thing that is very important is to make sure there are other people around who agree with you and will stand by your side. Whichever side of the discussion with the most people usually wins. You need to make sure what you are arguing about is well stated and understood by the people involved. Before starting your argument make sure you have an idea of what the outcome will be. You should also make sure this is the type of outcome you would like, if not it is not worth arguing
The story was written based on how the people that lived in province of Burundi had the ideals of how women women were meant to serve and where women couldn't be sexually active until they married. The fear of rape was very intense that parents wouldn't allow their daughters go out alone, being understandable because six girls were raped in the last two months.

My group’s case study on Entrepreneurial Capitalism in the United States proved very informative; with many of our findings tying directly back to concepts and themes we have discussed and studied throughout the semester. The main source we used in our case study was Steven Klepper’s Experimental Capitalism: The Nanoeconomics of America’s High-Tech Industries, which discussed how & why industries become successful, how government involvement impacts the success of a high-tech industry, and how free trade and competition is involved with American high-tech capitalism. Much of our case study focused on six distinct industries in the United States: penicillin, tires, automobiles, semiconductors, TV receivers, and lasers.

Over the last few years, the issue of corruption--the abuse of public office for private gain--has attracted renewed interest, both among academics and policymakers. There are a number of reasons why this topic has come under recent inspection. Corruption scandals have toppled governments in both major industrial countries and developing countries. In the transition countries, the shift from command economies to free market economies has created massive opportunities for the appropriation of rents, excessive profits, and has often been accompanied by a change from a well-organized system of corruption to a more chaotic and deleterious one. With the end of the cold war, donor countries have placed less emphasis on political considerations in allocating foreign aid among developing countries and have paid more attention to cases in which aid funds have been misused and have not reached the poor. And slow economic growth has persisted in many countries with malfunctioning institutions. This renewed interest has led to a new flurry of empirical research on the causes and consequences of corruption.
