Explain the viewpoints of classical and Keynesian economists. How did the economy that existed at the time of these theories influence them? Which theory is more appropriate for the economy today? Why? With classical economists believe that people supply things to the economy so they have income to demand things of value they supplied.
Prices influence what consumers want and how they are regulated. Team B also learned about a market where economic forces function unrestrained, also known as the perfectly competitive market according to Colander (2010).
Together the two have the ability to stabilize the economy. Select a product or service with which you are familiar and outline a strategy for accessing global markets. A service for accessing global markets is the manufacturing jobs. American needs to include a policy to attract and maintain manufacturing jobs by investing in research and job training as well as strengthen the enforcement of trade regulations. By investing in research and job training helps to prevent nations like China from cheapen the currency and undercutting America exports.

Thus demonstrating interdependency between the affluenza of consumerism culture and capitalistic economic growth. Response It is an accepted assumption that Consumerism (a social fascination with the acquisition of commercial goods) is a cornerstone of Capitalism. Just as Clive Hamilton suggests in the title of his institutional critique of the neo-classical assumptions of consumer sovereignty and rationality, Consumer Capitalism, he argues that the economic system is dependant on consumerist practices. Similarly Robert Heilbroner’s classical political economic analysis of the Ideology of Capital, via Marxist framework, demonstrates that a change in attitudes toward the ‘acquisition’ of capital and commodities is what allowed the bourgeoisie to realise themselves to be the dominant class and thus spur the development of a socio-economic system based on commodification to emerge. However other economists and socialists argue that the desire to consume an ever-increasing amount of commodities is one of man’s intrinsic values rather than the base of an economic system, it is his ‘hedonism unchained’ (Megone 2007).

(economywatch.com) A mixed economy is the combined of both market and command economies.

I will critically analyse the arguments of both sides of this topic in constructing a basis for the control that consumption has over our global economy. While also providing an analysis of hope for our society in the global perspective in being able to consume responsibly. To begin with, I will define some important terms. Firstly, consumption is noted from the Concise Oxford Dictionary as the ‘purchase and use of goods’ (Miles, 1998) which, additionally, Campbell (1995: 102; cited in Miles) provides a similar definition of consumption as the ‘selection, purchase, use maintenance, repair and disposal of any product or services.’ This definition gives us an idea that such products and services are purchased by individuals, used, occasionally maintained and eventually disposed of. The difference between this and consumerism, is that the latter is often used to refer to a life ‘excessively preoccupied with consumption’ (Gabriel & Lang, 1995).
