Innovation impacts the cost of production as well. Even the innovation helps in lowering the cost of production and making economies more efficient – producing more outputs with the same number of inputs. Technology affects market structure. In today’s market world, technology advances more rapidly because individuals gain incentives, in the form of profits, to discover new and cheaper ways of doing things.

Although the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed by Congress for positive reasons, there are many disadvantages that come along with it. A major issue is the cost of regulation, especially for smaller companies. Expanding internal controls delay the timeliness of financial statements by adding processing time to accounting functions. To follow the SOX, companies would need to separate duties, causing an increase in personnel. The SOX also calls for additional audits which increase business costs.
The first two interpretations wouldn’t have directly effected Liverpool’s government; however, the final interpretation stating it may have had political as well as economic aims, leads people to think this may have been a serious radical challenge to Liverpool’s government. Liverpool’s Government certainly thought so and made machine-breaking a capital offence and posted over 12,000 troops to the Luddite areas. Following the end of Luddism, the period between 1812- 1815 witnessed relatively little in the way of popular protest, however, post 1815 saw the revival of radical activity and was described by historian E.P. Thompson as ‘the heroic age of popular radicalism’.
It increases demand and productivity, helps drive innovation and lowers prices, although there is little agreement on the size of the impact on economic growth. "A more efficient, more transparent and more flexible immigration system would help firms expand, contribute to more job creation in the United States, and slow the movement of operations abroad," according to a draft report, soon to be published as part of a study by the Hamilton Project, a think tank. (Edward Krudy, 2013) It’s unclear what the cost of implementation will be, the cost of immigration reform will really depend on legislative debate that Congress has begun to wade into. There will be a lot of pressure on Congress to produce a bill that’s either revenue-neutral or will actually reduce the deficit, both by restricting any federal spending on immigrants and limiting the upfront appropriations on implementation. (Khimm,
None of these ideas was particularly innovative, but taken together they provided a blueprint for England’s first empire.” (Pg 77), England had too much power for other nation to survive, England had change most of their trade policies, but if England didn’t change their trade policies, other counties wouldn’t not have fair opportunity to experience and compete with England. England also led idea of mercantilism economic system to show England’s great power. Mercantilism is economic system that establishes colonies and a merchant marine, and developing industry and mining to attain a favorable balance of trade.

The personalities influenced the cold war, despite not being as significant as the other factors. Stalin being manipulative and ruthless instantly suggesting that relations with other countries, so different from his and he was very cautious of this. Source 8 suggests his personality, ‘threw Stalin back into neurotic solitude’ after the A bomb of 1945. Also after the death of Roosevelt which was Stalins ‘dream partner’ there was no need ‘to forge a strong relationship’ between the new politicians. When it
The Great Reform Act also achieved the majority of the middle classes’ aims by giving them the vote and by protecting their property although the benefits to the middle class were certainly less pronounced than those enjoyed by the Whigs. The Working class and radicals however, would have seen the act as a great betrayal to all that they had actively campaigned for in the period of excitement for reform leading up to 1832 as it actually decreased their political power in most instances. The Radicals and the Working class would have felt moved towards indignation and would have been deeply disillusioned by the Great Reform Act which was passed in 1832. It was described as ‘a trick’ by Felix Holt in a contemporary novel in which the middle class who had so championed the principle of reform in their effective leadership of the working class yet had been appeased and bought off by the Great Reform Act in the eyes of the working class. Some of the changes introduced by the act may have at first seemed extremely significant and progressive yet at a

Second, a high-wage economy can induce a regime of rapid technical change, and firms faced with high wages are forced to employ more advanced equipment and eliminate inefficiency or leave the industry, which results in a more productive society because companies are forced to embrace new technologies and processes. In the end, these new processes are disseminated throughout the economy. Third, the minimum wage is one among a number of factors that has the capacity to equalize bargaining power in labor markets, and enables people to 'earn a living,' which is an elementary component of human dignity and social justice.” Since the initial passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, economists have generally been opposed to the minimum wage, and today, this consensus is the same as most introductory textbooks will indicate (Prasch). Prasch notes that over the last half century, “it has become an article of faith that any floor or ceiling placed upon a supposedly autonomous and self-ordering 'free market' will lead to a substantial misallocation of resources' (Prasch). Regarding the minimum wage, market intervention is thought to
