Presentation #2 (mvp1)Paramveer SinghThis document describes a gift recommendation app called EZGift. It discusses the problem of finding gifts for others when you don't know their preferences well and have limited time. It introduces Tom, a busy manager who needs a gift for a new employee, Joe, who he doesn't know well. The document outlines EZGift's minimum viable product which would include Facebook login, gift recommendations based on interests and links to Amazon, with the goal of making it easy for users to find gifts for others with little effort. It hypothesizes that people will use the app due to its low friction interface and that the recommendations will contain gifts the recipients will enjoy.

International clearing union.pptx 2Freddie NorthKeynes proposed the Bancor system at Bretton Woods in 1944 to solve balance of payments issues and recycle trade surpluses. It would have worked like a central bank, giving each country a checking account to keep trade balances close to neutral. The world now faces major trade imbalances like debt in southern Europe and China's economic slowdown, showing the need for a new global mechanism to finance deficits.

A modern version could help address issues like underdevelopment in Africa by utilizing foreign reserves held by institutions to lend for development.
