I have always been and will always be an agent of change. I think it can be changed for the better good it should be changed. However, we also live in the real world where numbers rule; but the hallmark of a true decision is when it defies reality and expected norms.

The purpose of this investigation is to empirically investigate the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Bostwana and Zambia with economic growth being seen through an expansion in trade as well as Gross Domestic Product for the respective countries from 1990-2000. The motivation for the investigation of the presence of foreign investments and the relationship they have to economic growth is a result of debates within the field of economics regarding the role that foreign investments play in a economy. Scholars have explored the topic with some focusing on statistical evidence ( 0L’ 1922, Hou 1965) while others provide the theoretical frameworks through which foreign investments have been viewed( Rothgeb 1996).

Love Me Or Hate Me: The Other Side Of Capitalism

This was an article in the economists. It presents a very interesting argument regarding the role of foreign investments in the United States and why at times the United States feels threatened by these investments, which are growing very fast. The interesting thing is to note the paradox of the United States, the epitome of free-market capitalism. Protectionist policies do not lead to anywhere and as a free-market capitalist myself, in the  Milton Friedman tradition, i find the United States sporadic championing of  capitalism uncourageous!!!
