Explore/discuss two-sided markets.
Two-sided markets created by information platforms increasingly are a feature of how Internet services are monetized -- e.g. similar to how subscribers and advertisers are two sides of a "newspaper platform." Users and advertisers are two sides of the Google platform (albeit one side doesn't subscribe), similar to how viewers and advertisers were two sides of a TV station's business model. How do you use demand/supply curves to analyze and understand two-sided markets? What are the implications for price discrimination? What are the implications for monopoly?

I'd like to see a discussion of the societal value of inherited wealth vs self created wealth.

Japan's lost decade
Japan, currently the third largest economy in the world, has experienced meager economic growth over the past 15 or so years, despite (or because?) using many tools advocated by certain economic schools ranging from deficit spending, record-low interest rates and so forth.
Why is economic growth in Japan so low?
What is the regulatory environment businesses have to operate within in Japan vs. say the US?
What are the real (as opposed to intended) consequences and incentives of government actions (and inaction)?1 vote -

Are some economic activities better done by government?
A lot of people I know are convinced that government is a better provider of certain services the private enterprise. Where do you draw that line (if at all)? What logical steps can you go through to make a decision on this question?
