...MW 10:15 Business law Business Formation Assignment (ch. 19&20) Sole Proprietorship What legal liability and protection comes with this form of ownership? In a sole proprietorship the owner of the business has full liability for anything that happens within the business. The business isn’t its own entity therefore it all falls on the sole owner. Any issues, liabilities or losses that incur within the business are the owner’s responsibility. How is this type of business formation typically financed? Do those involved in the financing take any legal risk (not financial risk) when providing that financing? The funds for sole proprietorships can be quite limited. Luckily, it is the typically the cheapest business formation to start. Funds come from personal savings of the proprietor or close family and friends. The financing also can come from any banks or people willing to loan money. The people financing a sole proprietorship do not hold legal risk when providing financing. What impact does this choice of formation have on the taxes for the owner(s)? All profits the business receives are taxed as the owner’s personal income. This is an advantage to sole proprietorships because you don’t have to pay extra taxes for your business. The proprietor can also set up tax free retirement accounts until the funds are withdrawn. What impact does this choice of formation have on the management for the owner(s)? The owner of a Sole proprietorship has all control...

...Rights, Responsibilities and Regulation of International Business Sol Picciotto* This essay discusses the paradox of the emergence of corporate codes of conduct in the 1990s, following pressures from consumer and labor activism, in a period of more general liberalization of international investment leading to deregulation. It suggests that the advantages of flexibility and adaptability to specific circumstances offered by such codes are counterbalanced by their self-selected content and inadequate enforcement. Rejecting the assumption that there is a sharp distinction between voluntary standards and binding law, the essay analyzes various ways of grounding codes in legal obligations. It proposes that a safer and more dependable environment for international investment could be provided by a framework agreement, which would link binding standards for corporate social responsibility in key areas, such as combating bribery and cooperation in tax enforcement, with traditional investor rights based on investor protection and liberalization rules. I. Introduction Over the past decade, there has been an intriguing dual movement in the development of the forms of regulation of business in the global economy. Since the 1980s the dominant trend has been liberalization, i.e., the relaxation or removal of national controls on international capital movements. It seemed to many that business firms and investors were close to attaining the goal of a world market...

...capitalism we want: We being different interest groups, such as the shareholders, the C.E.O.'s, the average worker and the poor. Finally I will talk about what values might be at stake in capitalism. In the United States, the 1930s Great Depression threatened to knock out the capitalism that had been gradually developing for the past 400 years and this led to abandoning the laissez faire capitalism and instead embracing the New Deal concept of government managed capitalism in order to control money supply and government expenditure, and in order to limit the increasing gap of inequality of income. The 1950s and 1960s were decades of equality, but the energy crises of the 1970s forced the government to kick start the economy imposing new taxation benefiting the rich and once again causing widening inequality. Today, capitalism is the most important economic system of the Western world, in its however various forms: In the United States a more free-market capitalism exists and in Western European countries especially in Scandinavia capitalism is a more government managed kind. United States has the largest real GDP per capita in the world. However, this is only a measure of the economy, not a measure of the happiness of the average American. The GDP isn't being redistributed in favour of the poor as it is in...
