Barriers to entry are factors that prevent a startup from entering a particular market. Jack and Stephen Teeling faced two kinds of barriers to entry in the Irish whiskey business in 2012. The two barriers to entry were capital requirements, such as financial and human capital, and access to distribution channels. As in any industry, there are costs for starting and operating a business. Some of the high capital costs Jack and Stephen incurred are mostly start-up costs; High capital costs…

The United States’ national debt has been a very popular topic in recent months due to the recent presidential inauguration and the 2017 Budget Projections. The effects of the debt on the country long term are being debated by many, but many see the debt as having a negative impact on the country's economy.

“A penny for your thoughts…”: should one-cent currency stay in the United States? (“A Penny Saved is a Penny” K7469). Though lobbying against the penny has been occurring for years, legislation was formally presented to Congress fairly recently. Proposed in 2006, the COIN Act, which stands for “Currency Overhaul for an Industrious Nation,” would require sellers to round down to the nearest nickel for “sums ending in 1,2,6, or 7 cents” and up for “sums ending in 3,4,8, or 9 cents” (“Eliminating…

immigrants if the country decided to open its borders. Friedman’s idea to slowly eliminate welfare programs and use a negative income tax would provide a healthier solution to helping the countries low-income households.

Due to being in a recession for the last four years the low tax revenues have lead the country to have consecutive trillion-dollar yearly deficits. The spending has and will remain above the historical average of 20.2%. This is then expected to have massive growth when we come to the end of the decade when…

I personaly think in my opinion, that the voting age should be lowered to age 16. Lowering the voting age would have some very positive outcomes. Since America is trying to have a growth in people who do participate in voting, this will inevitably add to the percentage of voters. Letting more people eligible to vote means the higher the percentage. There is though the argument of young people not being as interested or involed as the elderly. With percentages backing that statement up.…
