THE AMERICAN ECONOMY

The American economy is a dynamic and free-market system. The United States is generally described as a mixed economy in which the federal government plays an important part in the marketplace even though the great majority of productive resources are privately owned.

By any standard, the American economy that has evolved over less than 250 years has been immensely successful. With less than 5% of the world's population, the United States in the early 1990s produced about 25% of the world's output.

The US economy is more than twice as large as the next largest economy, that of Japan. US productivity and standard of living remain among the highest in the industrial world although other nations have experienced higher rates of growth in recent decades.

Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years, there is still the continuing debate over the proper role for government in a market economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to all people.

Ever since colonial times, the government has been involved, to some extent, in economic decision-making. The federal government, for example, has made huge investments in infrastructure—from canals and post roads in the 19th century, to interstate highways and orbiting Earth satellites in the 20th century.

The government has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades, it has supported and promoted the development of agriculture.

INTERNATIONAL AID

Most aid (= money, food and equipment) is given to the world’s poorest countries to help reduce poverty. Projects paid for by aid money are often aimed at improving local housing and water supply, agriculture, health and education.

Training local people is also a central part of many programs. A lot of aid money comes from governments, but many development projects are run with the help of non-governmental organizations.

The British government gives over 2 000 million pounds in aid each year to developing countries. Britain, together with other countries, is helping to reduce the debts of poorer countries and may under certain circumstances cancel these debts.

The US began giving foreign aid during World War II, when the Lend-Lease Act made it possible to give military equipment to foreign countries. The US has continued to spend large amount of money on foreign aid, but has often been criticized for the way it decides who to help. In general, money goes to poor countries that are important to the US for commercial or military reasons.

Formerly, the US gave money to countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America so that they would not accept money from the Soviet Union. In 1998 US foreign aid

а) Advantages and disadvantages of this form of business.

b)The motives to form a partnership.

c)The roles of partners.

PARTNERSHIP

1. There is a type of business organization called partnership. Partnerships are voluntary combinations from 2 to 20 persons formed for the purpose of carrying on business with a view of profit. This type of organization represents a logical development from one-person business since the obvious method by which such a firm may acquire further capital is to form a partnership. The motive, however, may not be financial and partnerships are often formed in order to bring new ability and enterprise into the business.

2.Partners usually specialize in one or more aspects of business, one may be responsible for buying, one for selling, one for production, and so on. A person who joins a partnership, supplying capital and sharing in the profits, but taking no part in the management is known as a sleeping partner. The survival of a partnership depends upon the continued harmonious relationship between a certain number of people in situations which often give much cause for disagreement. In economies where trading risks are very great, the partnership is not a very stable type of organization.

3.The advantages of this type of firm are similar to those of one-person business. It is a flexible organization which allows a greater degree of specialization than the one-person business. Since it has greater access to capital, it can achieve greater size than the sole proprietor. The great disadvantage is the fact that the liability of the partners is unlimited and they are fully liable for the acts of the other partners. There are, however, some limited partnerships. In such firms some partners may have their liability limited to some specified sum, but at least one of the partners must have unlimited liability.
