A Securities and Exchange Commission exemption makes it easy for startups like Scuderi Group to raise money without government scrutiny, but revisions are constantly made to the law and companies must be careful to disclose all the downsides to the investment, or they could be sued for fraud. Companies that file for the exemption, called Rule 506 of Regulation D, can sell their investments mostly to accredited investors - people whose net worth is at least $1 million - and to 35 non-accredited investors - the less well-heeled. The rule was made to protect people from losing all their money by investing in high-risk ventures.

An analysis of the political economy of growth proposes that inequality can limit the economic development of countries with democratic political systems. This theory is based on the belief that income distribution can influence economic growth through the regulation of investments made on human capital such as education which determines the individual's ability to improve his or her economic lot. To ensure an equitable distribution of income, the government must draft policies that support social welfare.
MORAINE -- Speaking to members of the Dayton business community Tuesday morning, House Speaker John Boehner said the Obama administration's "excessive regulation and excessive taxation" is creating uncertainty and limiting small business investments. Probably one of the biggest sources of uncertainty today is the amount of spending that is going on in Washington, D.C., and the crushing debt that is hanging over our heads," Boehner said, addressing more than 650 people at the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting.
Investments in coal power are becoming riskier as the price of greenhouse-gas emissions is factored into the cost of the fuel, according to a report by a consulting firm whose clients include the U.S. Energy Department. Proposed coal-fired stations across the U.S. are being canceled or delayed as pending regulation of heat-trapping gases threatens returns on investments, Synapse Energy Economics Inc. said. The prospect of climate-change legislation in the U.S. has turned forecasting the operating costs for coal power plants into guesswork, according to Tuesday's report.
WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans, attacked for twice blocking Democrat legislation to rein in Wall Street, floated a partial alternative proposal Tuesday and said it could lead to election- year compromise on an issue that commands strong public support. The 20-page outline would prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to bail out failing financial giants of the future and impose federal regulation on many but not all trades of complex investments known as derivatives. It also calls for consumer protections and would create new regulations on mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Employment has shifted from a relatively stable and secure relation in which shareholders bore the risks associated with the market and firms buffered the risks vis-à-vis workers to a dynamic relation characterized by employment insecurity and individual responsibility. Modern businesses face new management challenges stemming from decreased employee loyalty and difficulties in supervising and controlling the workforce. Firms have responded by implementing internal branding programs that parallel consumer marketing programs but target workers rather than consumers. The goal of such programs is to re-align employees’ self-interest with that of the firm, persuading employees to internalize the firm’s brand so that they “live the brand” and react instinctively “on-brand.” Identity-based br...
