Please respond the following questions:
Question A
Problem 4 in the "Problems to Ponder" section at the end of chapter 23 is about product improvement or the increase in technology, broadly defined, over time. Provide a short list and discuss the specific items in the problem.
Question B
The U. S. and the World economy is still in a period of slow growth and high unemployment. Soon, we will be in another election year, does the Political Business Cycle still exist?
