Privatisation is the selling of public sector assets to the private sector in order to introduce competition and improve market efficiency. One argument for privatisation is that private companies are incentivised by profit by cutting costs and producing more efficiently. If you work for a government run industry, managers do not usually share in any profits. However, in private firms managers will usually receive a share of the profits motivating them to work harder, and as they are interested in making profit they are more likely to cut business costs and aim to be more efficient. Since privatisation, companies such as BT, and British Airways have shown degrees of improved efficiency and higher profitability due to the competitiveness within their respective industries.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of offshoring is the cost advantage it produces, which directly affects the company's bottom line. In tight fiscal situations, any savings in operating costs will contribute toward the company's sustenance and growth. Companies in recession segments sustain themselves and grow through innovation. Lower operating costs means they have more money to invest in innovation, resulting in a stabilized domestic workforce. In the service sectors, the cost saving from offshoring enables companies to create new service lines, many of which had been deferred for want of investment.
The middle class was nearly non-existent. This occurs often in the world, but the Great Depression was the worst economic downfall in the history of the U.S. It spread and affected all of the industrialized world.

Transnational corporations, or TNCs, are corporations that have their headquarters in one country and operate wholly or partially owned subsidiaries in one or more other countries. Some people benefit from the growth of transnational corporations than others. Developed countries benefit as they get cheaper imports from developing countries which benefits the consumers and companies in the developed countries as everyone pays less and companies can compete with others easier. Another benefit is that developed countries lose industry to developing countries, improving the environmental quality in the developed country, reducing CO2 emissions helping to combat climate change. Developing countries also benefit as the population get access to employment and the development of new skills, leading to more money being spent helping the economy to improve infrastructure and services improving the quality of life in the country.
Lots of new things were manufactured because there were people to fill the job vacancies. Immigrants believed America was a 'land of opportunity' they could arrive there with nothing and through hard work they could become rich. During the First World War, America sold weapons, food and supplies to the European soldiers. The USA had no competition from any other countries, and so made a lot of money during the war, thus boosting their economy. This also strengthened their friendship with oreos Britain because they were seen to be helping them in their hour of need - the war.
Considered that the financial crisis has started from the USA, its effects were quickly and strongly felt beyond the country, too.

In our current economic climate, the Keynesian model of economics is more accurate. Business owners operate their business outside of government control and without much thought to the economic situation. Their goal is to build revenue and raise net worth of their company.

Even though the prices will lower of time, companies will take advantage of the recession, knowing that consumers still require their goods, no matter if it falls outside their budget or not.
It allows individuals to earn money based on the importance of their role in society. If doctors didn't earn more than carpenters, no one would become a doctor and we'd have a shortage. There would no incentives to work harder because you could do an easy job and get paid the same amount for doing something that involves a lot of work.
