News conference held at the United Nations to publicize modern slavery, took note of rights activists who protested against forced labor, forced marriages and sexual exploitation. Yeonmi Park recounted her horrifying escape from North Korea at the age of 13, Ms. Park spoke about The Global Slavery Index and the prevalence of modern slavery.

This article prompted me to China Blue video and Its inhumane working conditions.Young girls fleeing from great poverty are exploited in China sweatshops. Globalization, unfair outsourcing, the lack of labour protection, low competitive wage and rapid reorders have dangerous alternatives; such as, starving to death, prostitution and human trafficking.

President Trump feels China has been taking advantage of the U.S. and he is putting a stop to it by imposing proliferating tariffs. Chinese leaders contemplate retaliation and feel his trade war is an effort to contain Chinese rise; however,  the trade imbalance can lead to a tit-for-tat that provokes harmful results. 

This reminded me of "Dependency theory"  the U.S. wants to preserve the dominance of a rich world by exploiting China through unequal import and export terms. The proliferating trading tariffs on Chinese imports are much higher and could risk inflation and jeopardizing their developing economy. ]]> 2018-10-15 03:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/292648124 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/292651570 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/12/upshot/financial-crisis-recession-recovery.html
Policy makers Geithner-Paulson-Bernanke strategy worked to preserve the American financial system, through quantitative easing and low to zero interest rates. This prevented a collapse of the dollar and inflation. Naturally, fierce criticism and government distrust arose.; however, policy makers response succeed.

This prompted to "Keynesian Economics" to which the use of Government intervention, decreased interest rates and the in crease of government stimulating occurred for the bailout. Clearly, there is no concoction to a perfect solution, yet consequence could be considered unintended when one chooses an immediate rescuing goal.]]> 2018-10-15 03:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/292651570 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/293111127 https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/10/11/business/11reuters-imf-worldbank-china.html
Director of IMF warned countries to deescalate trade conflict and reform global trading rules. Conflict hurts global growth and potential imperil bystandards though, Chinese authorities are taking steps to this complicated balancing act the yuan has also depreciated creating drastic moves and mounting tensions.

This alluded to Thomas Friedman analysis of "Leveling the playing field." A consequence of this tariff conflict can jeopardize the operation of American companies operating in China. Implemented obstacles force a uneven playing field. U.S. tariff could possibly make companies squeeze it’s margins leading to less jobs to offset price hikes or have placed seeds to its on trade distruction.]]> 2018-10-16 00:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/293111127 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/293171810 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/business/economy/fed-economy.html
Fed officials have entertained the idea of gradual hikes on interest rates and keeping a close eye on inflation since the economic growth is stronger. The uncertainty of inflation and the lack of an accurate historical model, gives officials good reason to continue with suggested plan. This would preserve more room when  reducing rates during downturns.

This cued me to "Keynesian and Hayek Economic Theories." Hayek theory to increase  interest rates and Keynes theory to reduce interest rates during economic downturns. Both theories attempt to stabilize and strengthen a prosperous economy. Inner twined theories could be beneficial to the economy if used to address the issue at hand.]]> 2018-10-16 06:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/293171810 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450427 https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/11/16/business/16reuters-g20-banks.html
Banks who provide international money transfers are halting from supporting one another causing an effect on remittances. The punishment of money laundering, terrorist financing and the nuisance to regulators are driving payments underground; however the Financial Stability Board who coordinate financial rules has attempted to halt the decline in the banks withdrawing from this service.

This cued me to Remittance-migrant worker transfer and its significance to international capital flows, especially the financial consequence to developing countries or individuals in their home country who rely on remittances. For most individuals this is the key source of income to maintain their households. When sending Payments underground, will cause an impact on international trade and it's economic growth. ]]> 2018-11-29 17:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450427 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450558 https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/11/27/business/27reuters-china-economy-industrial-profits.html
Uncertainties rise for China's industrial firms profit growth and the escalation of tariffs that United States and China have slapped on each other are clearly a conflict of profit. With weakening domestic demand, the high financing cost, and the drop of steel prices forecast the decline of profitability in the coming months according to some economist. 

This alluded to "Blue China"  video and the need for domestic demand in order for laborers to continue to be employed. Not only does this uncertainty jeopardize the workforce it also threatens their developing economy, forcing China to seek extreme and possibly dangerous ways to restore the decline in profit.

The disappointment of General Motors cuts to U.S job and plants closures  has President Trump, Canadian political and labor leaders displeased. The wrath lead to Trump threatening to eliminate subsidies as a retaliation to the slashing 15,000 jobs.This quickly rattled investors to bid down on GM shares.

This touches on the 2008 bailout that gave GM billions in financing from (TARP) other subsidies like tax credits, including electric cars in order to save and continue to employ, boost U.S. employment and the manufacturing rebirth. The global restructure affected the bids investors to which provoked fury and the feeling of ungratefulness from President Trump.

The U.N. envoy expressed disappointment in the countries who are reneging to the support of global compact for safe and ordinary migration that will reducing human smuggling and trafficking. Louise Arbour conveyed the vary misguided aspects regarding the reality of migrants and refugees who flee from conflict but follow legal channels to access a country.

The human migration aspect of this particular article perhaps is the most telling. When misguided aspects of migrants are demonized by people who pair them with troubled refugees, countries will yank their support for global compact Arbour explained. The adoption of global compact will serve as development increases in large countries. ]]> 2018-11-29 17:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450685 anita_gonzalez926 https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450738 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/05/business/surprising-truths-about-trade-deficits.html
Presidents Trump overall international trade agreement approach, explains what trade deficient is through the bilateral trade, trade balances, surpluses, its merits and the value of exports and imports. For instance, if the trade balance is negative, meaning imports have exceeded export totals but you gain from the relationship is not ideal. Ideally, the Federal Reserve will need to rise interest rates to avoid inflation.

This article touches on the reading of Socialism Leads to Empty Shops and how revenues need to be higher than their cost for imports. The "Soft budget constraint" in this competitive market leads to economic inefficiency to which trickles down into inflation. Hard budget constraints like bringing down spending relative to production will project revenue.]]> 2018-11-29 17:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/anita_gonzalez926/q8md4j1nn8f5/wish/309450738
