Capitalism

Capitalism has improved the lives of billions of people — something that's easy to forget at a time of great economic uncertainty. But it has left out billions more. They have great needs, but they can't express those needs in ways that matter to markets. So they are stuck in poverty, suffer from preventable diseases and never have a chance to make the most of their lives. Governments and nonprofit groups have an irreplaceable role in helping them, but it will take too long if they try to do it alone. It is mainly corporations that have the skills to make technological innovations work for the poor. To make the most of those skills, we need a more creative capitalism: an attempt to stretch the reach of market forces so that more companies can benefit from doing work that makes more people better off. We need new ways to bring far more people into the system — capitalism — that has done so much good in the world.

There's much still to be done, but the good news is that creative capitalism is already with us. Some corporations have identified brand-new markets among the poor for life-changing technologies like cell phones. Others — sometimes with a nudge from activists — have seen how they can do good and do well at the same time. To take a real-world example, a few years ago I was sitting in a bar with Bono, and frankly, I thought he was a little nuts. It was late, we'd had a few drinks, and Bono was all fired up over a scheme to get companies to help tackle global poverty and disease. He kept dialing the private numbers of top executives and thrusting his cell phone at me to hear their sleepy yet enthusiastic replies. As crazy as it seemed that night, Bono's persistence soon gave birth to the (RED) campaign. Today companies like Gap, Hallmark and Dell sell (RED)-branded products and donate a portion of their profits to fight AIDS. (Microsoft recently signed up too.) It's a great thing: the companies make a difference while adding to their bottom line, consumers get to show their support for a good cause, and — most important — lives are saved. In the past year and a half, (RED) has generated $100 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, helping put nearly 80,000 people in poor countries on lifesaving drugs and helping more than 1.6 million get tested for HIV. That's creative capitalism at work.

Creative capitalism isn't some big new economic theory. And it isn't a knock on capitalism itself. It is a way to answer a vital question: How can we most effectively spread the benefits of capitalism and the huge improvements in quality of life it can provide to people who have been left out?

This article is explaining how capitalism has effected people in good ways and bad ways, They don't want any one to be left out because of capitalism. they are trying to think of knew ways to help pepole out. -K.J. #23

GDP

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 2.6 percent in the third quarter of 2010, (that
is, from the second quarter to the third quarter), according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau
of Economic Analysis.  In the second quarter, real GDP increased 1.7 percent.
That's is good that the out put of goods and services increased in the third quarter. K.J. #23

Unemployment rate dropped

The unemployment rate dropped sharply to 9.4 percent last month its lowest level in more than a year and a half  as tens of thousands of people found new jobs, but many others quit looking for work. The Labor Department reported that employers added a hundred  three thousand jobs in December, with an an addition of hundred and thirteen thousand jobs from private employers but a drop of ten thousand government positions. That was far fewer than the 150,000 new jobs that many economists expected and the roughly One hundred and twenty five thousand needed to account for people entering the labor pool. It also fell significantly short of a report from private payroll processing company ADP predicting nearly three times as many new jobs.

The unemployment rate basically dropped because of people found new jobs and also people stop looking for jobs. When people start looking for jobs they don't effect the unemployed. K.J.#23
