4.2527 Economics: Development Planning and Project Evaluation.
It is not unusual to suggest that Third World countries possess a need for financial assistance. Two examples of programs that the IMF and the World Bank implement in these situations are stabilization and structural adjustment programs. But this doesn't mean that such countries always benefit from this relationship. M. Chossudovsky's book The Globalization of Poverty examines the negative aspects of this relationship. This paper will define what stabilization and structural adjustment programs are and it will critically evaluate Chossudovsky's view of the structural adjustment program. 6 pgs. 3 f/c. 1b.
One of the most important aspects of the structure of the US government is there is no single authority controlling or commanding the economy. This structural decision allowed for the creation of the free-market system in its current incarnation. No single person or institution can have an over-riding effect on the performance of the economy as a whole. However, there are a number individuals who can, to a greater or lesser degree, have an effect on the economy. This brief paper will examine the following four such figures: (1) the president, (2) the Federal Reserve Chairman, (3) SEC Commissioner, and (4) the attorney general. 10 pgs. 4 f/c. 6b.

7.3771 Expanding NAFTA to Argentina: A Case of Wise Economics?
Looking at the question of whether or not it is wise to admit Argentina into NAFTA, then, depends largely on what side of the coin one likes to look at. On an economic basis, there is some compelling logic that makes such a deal attractive. On a practical level, however, there are problems with the implementation of the NAFTA agreement. Bringing more countries into the foray simply adds more chefs to an already crowded kitchen. In the end, the proper course of action largely depends on the ultimate objectives of the agreement. If NAFTA is a stepping stone to increased multilateral trade consistent with the provisions of the WTO, then we should applaud the entry of Argentina into the mix. If, however, NAFTA is a move towards increased regionalization at the expense of broad multilateral trade, then it should be dissuaded. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
