If you live in the Kanawha Valley youve probably passed the Clearon Corp. plant in South Charleston dozens of times. What do they make there? We make a dry granular bleach, said Plant Manager Scott Johnson. If that doesnt ring a bell, think about the tablets put in swimming pools to cleanse the water or the scouring powders used to clean kitchen sinks. The South Charleston plants biggest market is for pool and spa sanitizers. The plant makes the dry granular bleach, then presses it into tablets of whatever size and strength customers require. The tablets are shipped around the world. Clearons manufacturing plant is at 95 MacCorkle Ave. S.W., directly across from the stamping plant. The tableting and packaging operation is in the South Charleston Industrial Park. Although Clearons buildi...

This paper uses the examples of three nineteenth-century cities-London, Philadelphia, and New York-to explore both what is permanent about the problem of water provision (that consumers want it clean, accessible, and free) and what is mediated by the forces of government policy and economic constraints. In some cases, municipal authorities first claimed control over water supplies before figuring out how to pay for their works. In others, they calculated that such arrangements were both too expensive and too risky to bear alone. Both approaches were complicated by the high costs of providing water to urban areas and by urban dwellers' belief that water should flow from their taps without charge. The result was, and remains, a market in which price is largely dictated by political demand...

Microcredit is the newest silver bullet for alleviating poverty. Wealthy philanthropists such as financier George Soros and eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar are pledging hundreds of millions of dollars to the microcredit movement. Global commercial banks, such as Citigroup Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG, are establishing microfinance funds. Even people with just a few dollars to spare are going to microcredit Web sites and, with a click of the mouse, lending money to rice farmers in Ecuador and auto mechanics in Togo. Wealthy philanthropists, banks, and online donors aren't the only ones fascinated with microcredit. The United Nations designated 2005 as the International Year of Microcredit, explaining on its Web site that microentrepreneurs can use their small loans to "grow thriving business...

The United States' overall competitive position in the world economy is threatened by deteriorating infrastructure and the lack of sufficient funds designated to maintain the backbone of the economy. Across all infrastructure categories but most strikingly transportation and water and wastewater, a large gap has opened up between the needs of the systems and the available funding sources. Whereas the precise consequences of inaction are uncertain, it appears likely that similar to firms and businesses that lack productive capital to remain profitable, the U.S. economy will be confronted with an economic challenge. Swift action on behalf of policy makers in Washington and the local level is required to reverse this trend and maintain the economy's superior competitive position in the 21s...
