Watch Atlanta win the jobs race
Article Abstract:
The city of Atlanta has for many years been very successful in creating employment, and has been creating new jobs more rapidly than much larger cities. The forthcoming Olympic Games will serve to boost its already booming economy even further. For some cities, hosting the Olympics can bring economic disaster, but this will not be the case for Atlanta, which has taken the precaution of using existing facilities wherever possible and only building facilities which can be used after the Olympics too.

At last, a worthy winner
Article Abstract:
The fact that the 1998 Nobel prize for economics has been awarded to Amartya Sen, a welfare economist who is most well known for his work on the causes of poverty, famine and social inequality, indicates that the Nobel prize committee now recognizes welfare economics. This trend is to be welcomed. It is to be hoped that the future decisions of the Nobel committee will further serve to shift economics away from intricate detail and towards the development of historical judgement.

Why the minnows are making a splash
Article Abstract:
The changing social and political climate across the world may well allow small countries to emerge which can compete effectively in a deregulated, high-tech environment. In economic terms, new developments mean that small countries are in fact more efficient than larger ones. Indeed, there are already a number of examples of this, particularly in small countries which have large neighbours.
