Rich Man's story - Preface (Retro)

Hi,

This is an attempt explain few things in a simple manner. But economics is not a simple cake. It has been made tough as hell by the jargons that keep sprouting. It tough also because, every event is different in the eyes of different people. What is income for somebody is somebody else' expense. What is demand for one, is somebody's supply. But it is an important part of life. Having knowledge of economics will sure not hurt. It may just help. This attempt, is by no way the most "correct" method. I mean the terms may not be exactly defined as such. But it is close. My only attempt is to create interest and make aware of few things. I hope is simple enough for you consider to start reading economics in details.

If there is a central theme you must remember at all the times while reading these passages, then it is this: The Party is still on, enjoy the Party. Don't worry too much about the future, live the present. But plan, who will drive you to home when you have finished partying. Plan, how you will manage the hangover effect.

PARTY HARD, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS. [I hope I am able to keep it too :)]

Tip 1: This is a story, only that it deals with economics. You would have to go through the sequential parts, other wise much of the continuity, the "process" will be missed.

Tip 2: Many times I have included some texts in the [ ] which just help you out, in visualizing the contexts and interpretations. You can skip them, if you find it difficult, and still not loose anything.

:) Falkor

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Monetary inflation, Spiritual devaluation

Its been sometime I have been trying to make some special people understand the evils of inflation. Inflation is an abstract subject most of us dont know about, let alone understand the technicalities amidst jargons. I have in my previous post have briefly touched the social part of inflation but never in a concentrated way. I understand what my friends mean when they say "tell me in layman’s language." It is not a heartening sign, that they avoid technicalities. But it could well be that knowing where they stand, their role and understanding the social changes in the light of inflation may motivate them to understand the term "inflation." This is just to highlight the brief points. First and the foremost, is there any link between inflation numbers and society. Yes. The relation is same as the relation between society and money. What is money? Money is an easy means of exchange. If I am selling my horses to a pig-farmer and I am not interested in taking pigs in ret...

Unprecedented External Demand Shock Underway

India’s export growth averaged 24.8% over the last three years, driven by strong global growth. However, over the last three months, export growth has decelerated sharply. While until recently the strong demand from emerging markets including Latin America, Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa ensured that export growth remained healthy, over the last three months disruptions in the macro environment of these economies have been evident. Apart from weakening demand, exports have also been affected by the lack of availability of foreign trade credit and inventory liquidation. India’s exports declined by 12.1%Y in October 2008 compared with 10.4% in September and 26.9% in August. While we expect some improvement in the second half of 2009, exports are likely to be unusually weak over the next six months. We now expect exports to decline by 5.3%Y in 2009 compared with 12.7% in 2008 (estimated) and 23.1% in 2007 Excerpt source
