Starting a business is a big risk, said UW-Madison finance professor Jim Seward, and small businesses don’t have access to the range of stocks, bonds and lending that larger companies can use.
“A lot of the success of the American economy is making sure that funds flow to those sorts of businesses so that they get a chance to commercialize their discoveries,” said Seward, director of the Nicholas Center for Applied Corporate Finance. “It’s a great thing.”

Researchers have found the remains of African slaves in a 16th-century Mexican graveyard, confirming historical accounts that slavery began in the New World not long after Europeans conquered Mexico, according to a new study. The graves were discovered near the ruins of a colonial church in Campeche, Mexico, a port city on the Yucatan Peninsula. The authors of the study being released today say the remains are the earliest physical evidence of slavery in North America.
University of Wisconsin-Madison anthropology professor T. Douglas Price, who helped conduct the study, said the remains confirm historical descriptions of the beginning of slavery in the New World. ââ?¬Å?It underscores very vividly that in the Spanish world, slaves were being brought into the colonies right from the very start,ââ?¬Â said Matthew Restall, a professor of colonial Latin American history at Penn State University.
