Explain why the TUC called a general strike in 1926? Between 1918 and 1923 there were many economic problems facing Britain, which led to the miners not being happy with working pay and conditions. The miners formed a triple alliance with the transport workers and railway men. This means if the miners went on strike, the other 2 would also strike, causing a mass disruption to Britain. The first signs of disruption that led to the general strike was the fact that other countries such as Poland were becoming a more predominant exporter of coal, and the only way to stop Britain’s coal industry was to higher the price of coal, extend miners working hours and reduce pay.
They produced many new jobs with the need for new roads since the American landscape was drastically expanding. Advertisements not only made businesses prosper but gave people actual helpful information, such as the idea of keeping a much better personal hygiene being better for your health. Alternating electrical current increased energy efficiency tenfold compared to direct current since people could actually turn off their electricity. However, the Installment Plan created a country-wide idea that you could now buy what you really can’t afford and that made a lot of debt which eventually made the stock market crash leading to the Great Depression. Although there was a blotch on the great economic image of the twenties, the bigger smudge was on the cultural rifts that
Most articles about divorce focus on the psychological and emotional end of the spectrum, but not this article. This argument touches briefly on the devastating effects of divorce on the partners, children and surrounding individuals involved but then goes into talk about how divorce also contributes to waste of energy and resources. They say in the article, “People have been talking about how to protect the environment and combat climate change, but divorce is an overlooked factor that needs to be considered”(2). They’re right, the more divorced families the more consumption of energy, water and waste, which leads to an unhealthy planet Earth. Nevertheless, many other factors contribute to the destruction of the world and our ecosystem, but divorce may very well be an overlooked piece to the puzzle.
Raising the Price of Minimum Wage I personally think that it would be a good idea to raise minimum wage. One of the reasons why I believe this is because of the fact that the cost of living has escalated so high to the point where people aren’t making enough money to pay for their basic necessities anymore, and it is causing our nation’s debt to continue to grow higher. Another reason why I believe it would be beneficial to raise the minimum wage is because of the fact that it would help our economy in the long run by increasing consumer spending. If minimum wage was to be raised, then people would earn more money to the point where they are able to pay for their basic necessities and still have money left over; this would cause to a increase in consumer spending, and that would not only be beneficial to businesses, but also to the economic growth in local and national economies. The author of the article titled Arguments for Raising Minimum wage, Sue-Lynn Cathy, addresses poverty and how to fight it.
Fracking also created huge natural losses such as it crates pollution, destruction of forests to create its pipe lines. The pipe lines they use are also not long lasting as there is gas vapors in water because of leakage in pipe lines. From every twenty pipe lines, one is leaking that increases pollution. Gas burners used to store natural gas creates noise pollution more than a jet engine. It also have connection to increasing sexual diseases.

Who benefits and who loses when a common market for labour is extended to more countries? Explain using: ecconomic theory EU experience, in particular after the 2004 enlargement The labour mobility problems that are created when a common market for labour is extended to more countries have been a major concern of the European Union when considering expansion because member states have always feared their economies would suffer due to the cheap labour coming from poorer nations. Considering the fact that the recent expansion added ten members eight of which have significantly lower wages than other countries and large labour forces makes this concern even more pertinent. Since labour mobility is part of the core freedoms in the Union, the Treaty of Rome that was put into effect in 1958 committed member states to allow for the free movement of labour. This implied that nothing would stop labour from moving within member states and there will be no discrimination against workers based on their nationality, provided the nation is within the customs union.

EC831 Research Project What were the main characteristics of British macroeconomic fluctuations from 1790 to 1914? Analyse how the determinants of cyclical fluctuations changed over this period. Abstract The theory of the trade or business cycle has been an important topic for economic researchers and this concept became more prevalent throughout this period for many reasons; most notably being the impact of the industrial revolution. Not only did the characteristics of cyclical fluctuations change over this period, but the variables that affected the fluctuations changed significantly. Some of the contributing factors became more prominent whereas other factors had almost completely lost their significance by the end of the period.
Not only have countries been given the opportunity to exploit their comparative advantages but they can also change their comparative advantages using technology, this gives them the chance to move up the value chain, which improves the living standards of people in poverty and increases their income. However globalization has also had a negative affect on countries. It puts countries, poor countries in particular, in risk. “A housing loan crisis in the US eventually translates into rocketing youth unemployment in Spain. A banking crisis in Cyprus sends shares on the world’s stock exchanges lower.
