Who will blink first after Greece's month of living dangerously - Alexis Tsipras or Ang... - 1 views

  •  
    Mr Tsipras's defiant parliamentary debut as prime minister - underlining a string of spending commitments such as raising the minimum wage in breach of Greece's two €240bn (£178bn) bailouts -will have had Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel tearing her hair out in Berlin. The politics in Greece for the last five years was inconsistent and very harsh towards people who were oftentimes protesting and boycotting. The result of this politics has a strong impact on the country's economy, which is very fragile and is still deteriorating by harsh policies, taxation which affect not only Greece but the international market as well.

When a Small Business Comes Into Contact With Ebola - 0 views

  •  
    Besides posing a threat to the international community, Ebola also threatens the small businesses. A small shop, called Bridal and Formal, is one of those shops that is deeply affected by that virulent disease. Since a nurse who lives in Dallas looked for a dress for three hours, the shop is closed until the 4th of October. This information shows that ebola is one of the reasons why demand would decrease for a small business. In order to establish a new market equilibrium point, the quantity of supply in the market will be decreased, therefore the market will be fully affected by a case of Ebola in a particular area.
