Capital investment can come from many sources. It can come from borrowing, investment from sale of corporate stocks and bonds, or it can come from internal sources like reinvestment of profits.
The economy seem to have stabilized with an end to its recessionary decline, or the economy may have even reversed it decline and returned to growth. There is no way to know for sure exactly where we are at the moment, so we will have to wait for future historical report, but as the economy grows, more people will be needed to produce the products that will drive the economy in the 2100 century, which will reduce unemployment over time. Everything seem to be going as planned. Regards, LelandJ On 11/22/2009 09:55 AM, Publius Maximus wrote: > BTW, the only thing that will reduce unemployment is increased capital > investment.
