| SHORT-TERM RATES TO REMAIN STEADY
KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- Short-term rates are expected to remain steady today on continued intervention by Bank Negara Malaysia in the money market.

Will a key interest rate cut make a difference in the sluggish housing market?
(WHAS11) - It's usually an exciting time of year for local real estate agents when more homes are placed on the market and more people are out looking. But right now home sales are still sluggish. Will a key interest rate cut announced one week ago make a difference? It's mixed news from the greater Louisville association of realtors. While home sales are down 14%, the average sale price this year is up about 4 percent. But if you're aiming to buy or sell a house, don't expect any new help from mortgage rates. .
Money, Method, and the Market Process
This volume might be called the Mises Reader, for it contains a wide sampling of his academic essays on money, trade, and economic systems. Some of them, like "Observations on the Cooperative Movement," have not been published previously. Others, like "The Idea of Liberty is Western," have already made their mark on intellectual history. Brought together by Mrs. Mises after her husband's death, and edited with an introduction by Richard Ebeling, this volume fills an important gap in providing an overview of his best academic work. For that reason, this book is already widely used in graduate courses and seminars on the resurgence of the Austrian School. The twenty-one essays included in this volume are: Social Science and Natural Science
The Treatment of "Irrationality"
Epistemological Relativism in the Sciences of Human Action
The Position of Money among Economic Goods
The Non-Neutrality of Money
The Suitability of Methods of Ascertaining Changes in Purchasing Power for the Guidance of International Currency and Banking Policy

Real Estate Uncertainty Sparks Boom
With interest rates rising, the share market falling and uncertainty plaguing the real estate market, real estate agencies and franchise groups are spending more money on relatively affordable online advertising. This shift is bringing new revenue to popular New Zealand real estate website—allrealestate.co.nz. According to US-based classified advertising expert Peter Zollman, executive editor of the Real Estate Advertising Report, a similar shift is taking place in the US, where the economy has been troubled for several months. .
