• A Look at What Every Debater Should Know About Economics... -- (by David Beers, George Mason University) "As an extemper you will find that economics opens up a whole range of fresh approaches to tired old questions and strengthens your personal voice.

• Overcapacity and overfishing -- "From the point of view of society as a whole overcapacity equals economic waste, a situation that is compounded when overfishing occurs. Fishing capacity is the ability of a stock of inputs (capital) used in fisheries to produce output, measured as either effort (or indicators of effort) or catch.

• Overcapacity and the Economic Imperative to Waste Fish -- Overcapacity has severely limited time on the fishing grounds as more and more factory trawlers reach the quota more quickly. As seasons grow shorter and shorter, the race to maximize catches and profits encourages waste. The economic imperatives of factory trawling dictate wasteful fishing in other ways, too. It is more profitable to discard the bycatch of other species than to use valuable and limited storage space which could be used for the higher value target catch.

• The Debt-Driven Economics of Factory Trawling -- "The economics of ever more complex and costly vessels drives factory trawlers to fish as hard as possible. In addition, the flood of boats that entered the Alaskan groundfish fisheries in the late 1980s compounded the problem by increasing competition for a finite resource."
