Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield. But I believe that by far, the most productive and sustainable legislation and business practices always come from the center. Therefore it is my recommendation that the public at large look at the lessons of the past and see that neither a pro-business nor a pro-regulatory climate is the most beneficial one. I believe that the best answer, the best solution, the most sustainable outcome will be the one closest to the center.

AFTER A HUNDRED YEARS of attempting to come to grips with alleged monopolies, no one expected the 1980s and 1990s to become a rev olution in industrial organization and a boom for Wall Street's mergers and-acquisitions specialists. Yet American industry was on the verge of its greatest change since the days of Gould and Vanderbilt. To add some humor and sarcasm to the financial trendiness of the 1980s, an off-Broad way play with a distinctly Brandeisian tone went on nationwide tour. Other People's Money was a satire of all of the favorite corporate raider devices of the decade, including poison pills, shark repellents, and greenmail. Based upon past experience, the slowdown in economic growth and the ebbing of the conglomerate trend suggested that large corporations were

In 1909, Herbert Croly was determined to better the United States and did so by writing a book called, “The Promise of American Life”. Croly’s book caught the eye of many politicians and has often been called “…one of the few genuinely important political studies written by an American in the early twentieth century… it has generally been considered an expression of progressivism”(192). During this era the United States experienced constant change due to the Industrial Revolution. As a result, the wealth in the United States was granted to fewer and fewer individuals because big businesses were taking over. Additionally, the economy was not balanced and Herbert Croly devised a plan to regain this balance through federal regulations.
Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of History and former Dean of the Faculty at Duke University, admits that he has built his impressive scholarly career by neglecting these dramas to shape what is now the accepted historical conventional wisdom. In books such as "Civilities and Civil Rights" and "The American Woman," he writes, "I have focused on the way social movements, not individuals, have transformed our recent past." Now, Chafe wishes to right the balance, beginning with what he calls "an old-fashioned conviction -- that individual leaders make a difference in a society." The result is insightful and significant, showing how the personal and the psychological shape the political and historical. In eight well-paced, well-written chapters, Chafe sketches portraits of 10 influential modern Americans: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and the Clintons, Hillary and Bill.

Another reason for team failure is free-riders. Brickley, Smith & Zimmerman define free-rider problems occur when an individual receives the full benefit from shirking but contributes a part of the costs (2007). In the Army saying, the strongest ten percent carries the weak ninety percent. Unfortunately, hard workers will put in the most where the lazy ones will do the bare minimum to receive the same reward and recognition. As a result, hard workers become demotivated and unwilling to work harder.
Both these companies have gone through the ups and downs like everyone with the way the world turns and have done wild and crazy changes in their history but the one thing they have not done a lot of is change the CEO of the company. Yes there have been bumps in the road for one more than the other but for the most part they have tried not to rock the boat, or reinvent the wheel they just tried to grow and change with the consumer and its wants and needs at that moment. The assets for both stores even with the bumps is not great but it’s holding its own, I have presented a copy of each to give an example of where they are in this case analysis against each other. It will show the assets of both companies from the last two years. In this you can see how things can change for one when to many changes happen within one year to the next, people get scared and CEO’s who are not from the retail world can change the climate of one store almost overnight.

“Repaired and Modern” The author of the article “Broken and Obsolete,” Fareed Zakaria, believes that due to the divide in the beliefs of Republicans and Democrats coupled with the poor immigration laws currently in the US, the present immigration status will remain as it is, as he states “broken.” The author gives a few reasons for this belief coupled with examples, like the idea that other countries have been transforming themselves into immigrant societies, adopting many of America's best ideas and even improving on them, and as a result the U.S. is not as exceptional as it once was, and its immigration advantage is lessening. However, overall his claims are wrong because the supporting evidence behind the comparisons that he makes are
