Both economics and politics experienced radical changes during the Early Republic period in America. Remarkably subtle but undoubtedly significant was the development of a recognizable middle class during the Early Republic. This revolution can be attributed to what Wood refers to as a “consumer revolution of immense importance” and through the pervasive spread of commerce. A newfound appreciation for domestically internal trade and the recognition of the significance of this internal trade increased prosperity and gave more people enthusiasm for business. The quantity of those involved in buying and selling increased exponentially and in response, the development of modern day concepts such as businessmen and entrepreneurs arose.
However, the accelerated progression of the country’s economy and affluence wrought consequential effects. Businesses monopolised entire industries through vertical and horizontal integration, the increase in industry attracted workers to already densely populated cities, and working conditions for the lower-to-middle class were often poor. With the unprecedented increases in population, cities were ill-equipped to support the sanitary and safety needs of the occupants. Post-Civil War demands triggered manufacturing expansion. Soon the new economic process was largely controlled by the utilisation of iron, as well as electric and steam power.
By having an economic influence, the country can also have a large number of companies and economic self-sufficiency. Trade is one of the key ways in which superpowers make money. Most world trade takes places between Europe, North America and Asia. This is trade in goods and services and is high value. It earns money for global TNCs, the majority of which are from the developed world.
In 2050, the global population of people age 60 and older will grow from more than 100 percent to an estimated two billion. With the aging population growing, they must do this actively and in good health because if not they do not then we will not be able to generate the levels of economic growth we have enjoyed over the past century. The cost of disease and health challenges will grow tremendously if we do not create a more innovative and effective way to stay healthy. The agenda for the future is to continue to recognize and address the relationships between the aging, health care and the economy. With the right solutions, health care can become the most powerful driver of growth in the 21st
Timothy T. Riley SOC-100 October, 20, 2013 David Claerbaut Globalization: A Closer Look In today’s economy multinational corporations are outsourcing at an astounding rate. These conglomerates are making their mark through dominating the business arena through globalization and world trade. Companies like Ford motor company, General Motors, and Wal-Mart just to name a few are considered to be the major power players in the industry. Multinational companies are considered a threat to national independence to secure satisfactory working environments. The world’s fortune 500 companies controlled an astounding 70% of the trade market, and 80% of foreign investment, and 30% of the (GDP), gross domestic product.
Today’s economic and political events define the types of trend(s) measured in modern society and how it affects human services (Thompson, 2000). According to the projections of the U.S. population, the population of persons age 65 and older is expected to more than double between 2012 and 2060, from 43.1 million to 92.0 million. The increase in the number of the "oldest old" - those 85 and older are projected to more than triple from 5.9 million to 18.2 million, reaching 4.3 percent of the total population. (Census Bureau 2012). This demographic will continually increase due to baby boomers entering their retirement years as well as the number of elderly living past the age of 85.

A great marketing plan can go a long way for your company and making your more competitive with the competition.

Many people came into the cities because there were many jobs available so the city growth increasingly populated. Working conditions of these jobs where horrible. The populists seen this and tell the world about the small farmers problems. Carnegie seen that the rich becoming more rich will help the economy prosper and become better.
Demographic Paper Becky Perez HCS/490 November 6, 2011 Kathy Loy The aging population today has grown considerably according to the aging statics given by USA.gov, 2011. “The older population has grown, which includes persons 65 years or older, and has reached 39.6 million in 2009” (USA.gov, 2011, p. 1). The older population represents 12.9% of the United States population and by the year 2030 will average 72.1 million. There were 64, 024 person who aged 100 years or more in 2009, (p. 1) and this growth in population can become a problem for the health care market. The United States has had the most spending for health care for persons age 65 and older (CDC.gov, 2011).
227). Over the years health care expenditure has increased greatly. Studies have shown that health care expenditure has almost surpassed $2 trillion dollars in 2008 or to put it in perspective $7,681/person (http://www.ama-assn.org/resources /doc/health-care-costs/strategies-rising-costs.pdf). Some of the major factors to this increase in expenditure include technological advances, population growth of older adults, increased focus on specialty physicians, uninsured and the underinsured, and prescription medicine.
