More evidence that the internet will be a deflationary influence
on our economy. Overall, this makes our economy more competitive
and increases our standard of living. But companies that compete
against internet retailers or companies successfully using the
internet to distribute goods and services will pressure on their
profit margins and some may be driven out of business entirely by
their internet competitors.

What's Next: Free PCs?
by Maria Seminerio, ZDNN
"'It's just been unbelievable,' said a Free-PC.com spokeswoman,
saying no one at the company expected the stampede of half a
million people who applied between Monday and Tuesday for a free
PC. Free-PC.com said Monday it would offer 10,000 free computers
to those willing to sit through constant on-screen advertisements.

One event to pay attention to over the weekend and next week is
news coming out of the G-7 Summit. The Clinton Administration
has been raising concern with EU and Japan regarding the U.S.
role as importer of last resort. The steel industry has
successfully lobbied for restrictions on steel imports and other
industries may be motivated to make similar efforts. It would
be very positive to see a renewed commitment to free trade
come out of this summit, but it is not likely.
It will also be interesting to see how Europe and Japan plan to
do to reinvigorate their economies. These economies must embrace
reform, flexibility, and technological innovation, or they will
act as a drag on the world economy rather than a second and third
engine assisting the US. The contrast between the outlook for
Japanese economic reform and Canada's aggressive attempts to
modernize their economy is quite remarkable.
Show Them The Money
"Japan's shortage of entrepreneurs is a real worry. Big employers
are horribly overstaffed. They are now shedding jobs almost as
fast as American firms did a decade ago. More young companies are
needed to hire these people instead. Yet for over a decade Japan
has been losing more companies than it has created.
