- I can’t guarantee to always give answers it also depends on my time schedule.
- The aim is not to do people’s homework for them, but, help in the understanding of economic concepts.
- The answers will not necessarily be complete. I know several of my essays on this site could be improved.
- Please Write the Questions clearly and with proper spelling. Some questions I have not answered because they were not clear what was meant.
