Gas Junkie - Gasoline Prices Questions

Question: What would be a good topic to write about regarding economics?

( Back )

Answer #1:

How about Banking and/or finacial risks

Answer #2:

why dont u try to discuss oligarchy/monopoly-type industries and focus on why the entry to that market is difficult (for example, electricity company - u can only have one per area and entry to this market is next to impossible since the space to create the wires/lines is already occupied by the existing company).

u can also try to discuss why small companies get crushed by bigger ones (economies of scale)

Answer #3:

Phew, those topics sound really boring...

I agree with the answerer above. My suggestion would be Obama's reforms of the Banking System something like this:

Intro - 1929 Wall St Crash and depression
Banking Reform that followed - Glass Steagall Act
1990's Glass Steagall shelved by Clinton leads to:
Massive explosion of credit, death of old fashioned Commercial Banks, Wall Street growth
2007-8 Financial Crisis and aftermath

Main part- Obama's reforms

Reason for this topic:
1) Topical
2) Loads of material in press and journals
3) Lots more information to come

Please read Wiki articles on Glass Steagall and also Ben Bernanke's Essays on the Great Depression. That will get you started.

Answer #4:

The relationship between tax rates and tax revenues collected by the federal government.
