How America's Foreign Policy is Making the US Less Safe in the War on Terrorism
Despite plenty of muscular rhetoric, President Bush's strategy in the War on Terrorism demonstrates a dangerous ignorance of the unique military, tactical, and political aspects of the terrorist threat, and breeds a dangerous and chaotic foreign policy which has only served to put our nation in greater danger.
Got More Answers Than Questions?
Most people are far too busy trying to preserve their ego (and the opinions which prop it up) to step back and seek out a deeper understanding and broader perspective. Are you one of those people? Maybe you need to step back a little and begin to ask more questions. Search for new answers and lessen the chances of encountering problems that resurface time and time again.

“TOP TEN TIPS TO EFFECTIVELY WORK WITH POLICY MAKERS”
We are sometimes called on to work with policy makers in a variety of organizations we are associated with in our personal, business and volunteer lives. Working with these policy makers can be very rewarding and can be very frustrating. Since 1970 I have been working with policy makers at all levels of government, non-profits, businesses, institutions and other organizations. And from the experience of those years, I developed a list of the top 10 tips to effectively work with policy makers. I have summarized those tips below:

Opportunities and Challenges in International Franchising - Foreign Franchises Trying to Move into the U.S.
Although franchising is growing more rapidly outside the U.S. than in our more saturated U.S. market, the U.S. remains an extremely attractive - and prestigious - market in the eyes of many foreign franchisors. Thus, one trend that is seeing renewed interest is the influx of foreign franchise systems into the U.S. While moving from the U.S. to a foreign market can be a challenge for American businesses, it can be even more challenging fro foreign operations to establish a foothold here in the States, as they deal with our more complex regulations, a serious language barrier, and the ever-competitive U.S. market.
Council on Foreign Relations Tracks 2008 Candidates on Africa Policy
One of my all time favorite publications, dealing with economics and international affairs, is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) . I have been reading this journal for almost a decade and view it almost in the way that I’d view an encyclopedia. So you can imagine my enthusiasm for them drawing attention towards U.S. Policy Toward Africa. In this instance what they have done is created a tool that can be used to summarize the views and records of each presidential candidate for the 2008 US elections. CFR has named this tool the Issue Tracker -The Candidates on U.S. Policy toward Africa.
Managing Foreign Exchange Risk: The Search for an Innovation to Lower Costs to Poor People
There is currently much debate over whether commercial investments in microfinance pass foreign exchange risk exposure to poor clients through high interest rates - i.e., whether foreign investment in microfinance is expensive for poor people. But what makes foreign currency exposure such a problem?
5.1 Determinants of diversification in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables. This proposition naturally leads to the search for those economic and non-economic policy actions that are likely to affect the level and rate of diversification in a country. What evidence is there that links economic and non-economic variables with national capacity to diversify?
How to Leverage the Potential of Foreign Employees for the Success of a Business
We live in a world of migration and the number of migrants crossing the borders increases daily. For a business, hiring foreign nationals can be a great asset, as they bring their unique skills, expertise, knowledge, ethics and culture. And even more, they can help a business in the global market; in fact, as the world becomes smaller and smaller a business will inevitably find itself dealing with foreign customers, clients or suppliers, whether here or abroad, and foreign employees can help it deal successfully with foreign cultures. Furthermore, foreign employees can be a source of personal and professional growth, and such growth will automatically bring about financial growth. But it is very important to understand that ...

The Certitude of Uncertainty
It is always interesting to watch the talking heads on TV speak with such certainty about what would happen if we follow their advice on the economy, foreign policy, war, industry, and just about anything else they feel compelled to pontificate on.

Monetary Police is Science, Everything Else is Stamp-Collecting
This new Eric Leeper paper seems delusional in arguing that monetary policy is science, while fiscal policy is stamp-collecting, but I maybe I'm just being crotchety. The piece also comes up with the new-to-me argument that monetary policy would be even better science if it weren't for fiscal policy mucking things up.
Insurance Defense Costs
Does Your Business Insurance Policy Cover Defense Costs Within the Insurance Limit or Defense Costs Outside of the Insurance Limit? Did you know that a liability policy, which is part of any typical business insurance policy or commercial insurance policy coverage, has two distinct obligations? A liability insurance policy, if it is a general liability, product liability or professional liability insurance policy is designed to protect you against your legal obligation to pay others because you have hurt them and/or have damaged their property. A policy also defends you against claims or lawsuits. In other words, besides paying for claims or suits, a liability policy also pays for their related legal costs and court fees.
