The Economist Hosts Global Online Debate About Government Regulation in Business
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) March 18, 2008 -- The proposition for this debate is: "This house believes that by intervening to regulate business and financial risks, governments have made things worse." Guest contributors and participating readers will argue for and against the proposition in a modified version of the Oxford style of debate.
"As the list of casualties from the credit crunch lengthens (Northern Rock, IKB, Bear Stearns), governments and regulatory agencies face acute tests," said Daniel Franklin, executive editor of The Economist and the debate's moderator. "Their actions will not only shape the course of the current crisis but will influence the business environment for years to come. Could pre-emptive regulations end up stifling innovation? And what is the optimal risk-reward balance?"
-- John Berlau, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) argues in favor of the proposition.
-- Dr. Paul Moore, Ofcom Content Board Member for Northern Ireland, argues against the proposition.
-- Throughout the course of the two-week debate, expert Guest Participants will lend perspectives to the lively discussion, including Robert Pollin, co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute at UMass Amherst, and Tom Firey, managing editor of the Cato Institute's magazine, Regulation.
-- The debate runs from Monday March 17th until Friday March 28th, when the winner will be announced.
"The Economist is bringing the tradition of Oxford-style debate into a contemporary online forum. We hope The Economist Debate Series will encourage thoughtful discussion around the world," said Mr. Franklin.

Google Adsense Profits Mixed In With Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, allows the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant's products by linking to the merchant's website. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.
