The reason for why governments in developing countries sometimes are unable or unwilling to implement polices that create favorable conditions for economic growth boils down to two main reasons: social issues and political issues. Political issues are just as multifaceted as the social issues. Due to corrupt governments and regimes the lawlessness spreads throughout the developing nation like wildfire. Political issues revolve around the basic needs of a nation such as simple, yet, necessary infrastructure of schools, hospitals, septic tanks, etc. The necessity of public goods is vital for a developing country to survive, maintain, and become what we consider today, a developed country.
The essence of this statement is denying the possibility that free trade could bring positive effect to world’s poorest countries. So free trade is really a fair trade to poor countries?Actually, the main argument does not come from whether rich countries should open market to support the development of poor countries, instead, the focus is whether the liberalization is the burden of poor countries. The essay will critically discuss the statement pro and con by listing theory support and example support separately. From the pro angle, free trade is unfair to poor countries because poor countries has no competitive advantages in almost every sector and no absolute advantage means no trade according to related theory; From the con angle, free trade still could be in the interests of poor countries even though they have no absolute advantage because free trade offer more choices and lower price, in addition, poor countries could still develop comparative advantage according to supportive theory. The conclusion will be driven from the analysis below, which will finally regard free trade as a double-edged sword.
However, within this broad framework, many details need to be worked out, and the costs and benefits to businesses will depend on how the government tackles these finer points (Horne, 2011). At the core of a cap and trade system is the pollution permit (often called an allowance), which is essentially a commodity created by governments in recognition that the atmosphere cannot be treated as a free dumping ground. Businesses regulated by cap and trade are required to own one tonne’s worth of pollution permits for every tonne of pollution they produce (Horne, 2011). If pollution permits are costly, businesses will choose to reduce their pollution so they need fewer permits. Like a carbon tax, this approach strengthens the economic case for investing in clean energy (Horne,
This cartoon is a prime example of what happens when a trickle-down economy fails to work. Trickle-down economics is anti-liberal as it is a form of government intervention in the economy. As the government tax the wealthy less they provide no benefit for the country, they are only widening the gap between the rich and the poor. By widening the gap they are restricting the political and economic freedom of the citizens. This restriction on the citizens goes against two of the three freedoms (social, economic, political) classical liberalism was founded on.
Assuring competition is critical to maintaining low prices, high quality, and business efficiency. Blair and Lopatke (2008 explained that by eliminating the competition, dominant sellers can increase monopoly profits and deadweight of social welfare losses can occur (p. 442, 439). But not all monopoly companies causes harm, some companies like the water utility, natural monopoly, and is regulated by the government (McConnell, 2012, pp.
The company at hat served the public best would be favored in a competitive situation C. My opinion is that there should be a balance between competition and government involvement. A competitive situation would keep utility employees striving to satisfy the needs of their customer. Without competition some employees could become indifferent to customer satisfaction as the customer can not go anywhere else. Government involvement would be important by setting standards that must be adhered to by competing companies as far as level of service and also ensure that the competing companies can not fix pricing to consumers and artificially control what the consumer will

Utilitarian Approach: The utilitarian approach to ethical decision-making holds that moral decisions should produce the greatest good for the greatest number in society as a whole. While appealing conceptually, especially to quantitatively oriented students who understand cost/benefit analysis, the actual calculations can be complex when the costs and benefits to all of society must be considered. For that reason, simplifying assumptions are generally made to limit the calculations to only those directly impacted. (These simplifying assumptions often give rise to criticisms that this model is simplistic, often self-serving, and unable to appropriately consider impacts that are not easily reduced to dollars and cents. )In this Scaffold Plank
We should focus more on not allowing illegal immigrants from entering our great nation and support the legal immigrants who put in an honest day of work and also pay their taxes accordingly. With this structure which I understand is one that is hard to implement I know we will find the harmony and accord in which labels our nation as an “economic global power”. We should also find a balance to where both hometown natives and legal immigrants work in harmony producing the products that our nations so desperately needs and use. Together we will stand in assisting our country maintain its place as a global super power. While being sensitive to the legal immigrant and hometown
Consumers and society look at organizations to be trustworthy, responsible and held accountable for all their actions. Maximizing the company’s profit is the least of importance than the compromise in the company’s vehicle safety standards. Human rights are rights enjoyed by humans (Hartman & DesJardins, 2008, p. p. 91). As humans, these individuals have rights and to make the decision of not repairing the faulty fuel tank goes against everything a company should stand for while acting unethical. Organizations and businesses have a social responsibility to society when making decisions, meaning the objective and intelligent concern for the welfare of society that restrains corporate behavior and individuals from negative activities, no matter how immediately profitable, and leads in the direction of
