I'm in the middle of utopia atm actually...its a tiny book, so "to be in the middle" of it, means i started reading it for procrastination for exams, and haven't gotten back to it yet :)

Stupid white men - pretty good, some interesting points made, but so many vitriolic, gross generalisations that it just got exhausting to read all the superlatives :rolleyes: I reallllllly recommend "I claudius" by robert graves (its historical fiction, a well researched "autobiography" of...

There was a saq on unemployment last year, if i remember correctly? But yeah the essays last year were very globally focussed - so i think something more on internal balance should be asked this year...* *no liability is accepted if this speculation is incorrect. :p

Well what policies are used to a) create sustainable economic growth b) keep unemployment low, c) keep inflation low, d) maintain external stability e) create a more equitable distribution of wealth in a manner (f) that allows sustainable resource use ? Think monetary policy, fiscal policy...

Exemplars are in a sticky in the eco forum front page (thanks to zoodboog) and kindly stickied by very own forum deity, lazarus :p

The "beauty" of eco is that it is an integrated subject, all the ideas link together. So although it is good to have some notes (i.e bullet points on maybe 5 effects of inflation, or 5 benefits of growth etc), it is largely about being able to understand the big picture and the circuititious...

lol uh thanks...I did my hsc last year though :p But i have my uni macro exam on monday, so i'll take your good luck for that - thanks :D Good luck for you too :p :D

External stability can be considered a measure of australia's long-term viability. I'll try give u an analogy. If person A spends more than they earn, consistently (ie M > X), then there are 2 things they can do. 1 - they can borrow money from the bank. or 2 - they can sell assets. If...

Our accounting course isn't accredited? Where on earth did u get that? We have more links than the other unis to accounting/finance instiutions, and are currently being *internationally* accredited which means ur degree will be recog overseas without requalifying. edit: also depends on...

Nick, I would say the main reason for aus's apparent appreciation recently has more been the US's depreciation! The US has an enormous CAD, a "jobless recovery", questionable involvement in iraq, a still uncertain stockmarket after corporate governance scandals, and enormous budget deficits- at...

Thanks for doing that saves :)

Thanks saves...its good, u seem very prepared :D P.s I'm female ;)

Hey Anna :) Globalisation *is* huge, and as i've advocated before, splitting it up a bit makes it a lot more manageable. For instance, look at how trade, investment, technology, finance and labour have changes in the past 20 years as a result of the global economy, and then refer to...

saves: don't scare people. Keynesian analysis maybe, but i've never heard of those other things's u've mentioned. U can do fine without them. Its the analysis and ur understanding of the economic relationships that is most important. When it says apply economic concepts and theories...

Shaz, i think some ppl made it into usyd law this year on eas with 97ish.

it's not only that, structural changes need to be made in the tax system. When people are taxed putting their money into super, and taking it out of super, as well as the high set up costs for trusts etc to bypass those taxes it really is an unnecessary barrier. I know they're reforming super...

Several factors really. 1 - recovering global economy 2 - housing market asset price bubble 3 - high/unsustainable levels of household debt 4 - inflation targetting 5 - demand management. With regard to the inflation targeting and demand management, if you saw today's paper you'll see...

lol! someone's been studying...:p Good ol' usyd law decided proof of negligence and damages weren't *that* important, and cut them out of the course :eek: Now its not that i'm desiring an even larger than enormous workload, its just that well, what if my prospective client asks me how much...

Importers will be happy because of the capital inflow that accompanies a rate rise (or to be more exact - an increase in the interest rate differential between australia and the rest of the world). This means that the aus dollar will appreciate (as if did this morning) which will thus lower the...

You have ur own lawyer? Naughty lexi...?:eek:
