John Maynard Keynes Paul Samuelson
1,236 words
... The equilibrium theory developed by Samuelson
studied the interaction between all prices and
quantities in an economic system. Under this
theory Samuelson demonstrated that free trade is
superior to protection by tariffs. Even though it
is a known fact that foreign trade causes
redistribution within countries, it is more
beneficial for individuals benefiting from free
trade to completely compensate those who lose in
international trade. This method is more
beneficial to all involved than the...

Influence Of Alcohol Pre Prohibition

As under a spell, the people had suffered this act
to be brought to its fatal conclusion, but with
the first touch of cold reality the charm was
undone, and the law appeared in its true aspect.
Brought about by the Eighteenth Amendment and
enforced through the Volstead Act, lasted for over
a decade. Despite a growing lack of public support
for both Prohibition and restraint itself, the ban

Marxism And The Labor Theory Of Value

... list thinking. The second difficulty pertains
to the hypocrisy of Roemer's view on consistency:
it is one thing to level a charge of inconsistency
against Marx's value theory, and quite another
thing to claim that it is not useful to criticize
the inconsistency of neoclassical utility and
production functions - particularly when those
inconsistencies are part and parcel of Roemer's
own approach. The whole question of consistency
is, in fact, far more complex than Roemer's focus
on formal log...

Economics Of Public Issues

Economics of Public Issues "Our world is one of
scarcity; we want more than we have. The reason is
simple. Although we live in a world of limited
resources, we have unlimited wants. This does not
mean we all live and breathe solely to drive the
fastest cars or wear the latest clothes. It means
that we all want the right to make decisions about
how resources are used -- even if what we want to
do with those resources is to feed starving
children in Third World nations. Given the
existence of scar...

regarded as a social philosopher whose economic
writings constitute only the capstone to an
overarching view of political and social

Sir Robert Peel World War Ii

The Manichaean character of economics. Charles
Kindleberger. Abstract: Economics is said to have
adopted a certain degree of dualism. None of its
tenets have been absolute in terms of social
effectivity. To survive in an economic system,
rules must be enforced to ensure the peace. There
are times when pluralism is good for a society as
a way recognizing social differences. However,
there are times, such as war, when the rule of a
central authority is preferred. Laws in economics
are hardly perma...

Laissez Faire Utility Maximization
3,408 words
In recent decades, the various economies of the
world have seen a fundamental shift away from
Keynesian economics towards neo-classical and
liberal economics. The consequence of this has
been the re-emergence of a market oriented
laissez-faire economic doctrine, which despises
government and anything, which may restrict the
supremacy of the market. The idea that the private
sector is the real source of economic growth and
hence that there is the need to trim down the?
inefficient? public sector ...

4. 8 Purely private enforcement: a model Richard
Posner writes, I hope to challenge the assumption,
largely unquestioned since Hobbes, that a state
(if only a minimal, nightwatchman state) is
necessary to maintain the internal and external
security of society. I am not advocating anarchy.
My argument is that a state is not a precondition
of social order in the circumstances depicted in
the Homeric epics and even there, it is just
barely not. In our circumstances, we could not do
without a state....
