He argued that capital society and social order are all link to a capital system to human beings. Durkheim on the other hand, argued that sociology should be look at social facts as objects. Roles and institutions act like bodily organs, each depending on other. The world should be divided into subjective and objective, regarding society as a reality in itself. Durkheim sees anomie as responsible for the world’s disorder of economics- the lack of morality and regulation resulted in overpowering the weak; thus, he feels that only norms can prevent the abuse of power and calls for regulation and equal opportunity from birth- the greater the equal opportunity the less need for restraint.
The Economics of the Poverty What is Poverty? Poverty in America is the state of being poor, and one lacks the means of providing material needs or comforts. Unfortunately, I have to say that this is still happening in many parts of the world. Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. Poverty has been associated, for example, with poor health, low levels of education or skills, an inability or an unwillingness to work.
Hazlitt uses words such as “doubted” “disparaged” “scrutinized” and “neglected” to illustrate how one might be viewed or treated as in the society. From this the author leads us to think that poor people do not live decent lives in the society. Hazlitt utilizes such words to convey his position that the want of money doesn’t make one’s life more difficult only in the “lack of” aspect, but it also ruins the views others have on them. Towards the end of the passage, Hazlitt uses a myriad of negative phrases, “…lose by degrees your confidence…” “…grow…morose and querulous with yourself” “plagued out of your life,” which show how the lack of money affects an individual personally. It is not only through his diction that Hazlitt presents his message on the necessity of money, but also through his syntactical structure.
But Dr. Roberts explains the benefits and costs of free markets and trade in a clear and cogent manner again and again in various scenarios. Of particular value are the treatments of the concepts of 'fair-trade' and so-called trade deficits. These two issues are some of the most divisive and controversial parts of the trade debate. As expected, Dr. Roberts explains the facts in a way that just about anyone can understand. Dr. Roberts also illustrates how we use what he calls the roundabout way to wealth to explain how we get richer when we specialize and trade.
Essay topic: “It is often asserted that new entrants more typically introduce radical innovations than do incumbent firms. Is this accurate? Discuss.” In this Essay I would describe the factors seen in the scholar literature as the key incentives for the firm to introduce the radical innovation, dwell on the correlation between these factors and the status of the firm (new entrant or incumbent), point out the changes of this correlation in historian prospective and elaborate on the current ratio of the new entrants and incumbent firms in the radical innovations and its possible future developments.

While it is common to treat the new technology as a radical innovation, here we would talk about the radical innovation both in technical and economic sense.
In the new global economy, intangible assets have become increasingly important. These intangible assets are referred to as Intelligent Capital (IC). An important aspect of IC is called 'Human Capital' (HC) (Abhayawansa and Abeysekera, 2008). The term human capital refers to resources substantiated in people, which have the potential of generating or yielding income (Stevens, 1999). The concept of human capital theory is based on developing people by investing in them, with the aim of making them more useful and more valuable to the society (Fincher, 2007).
“Assess the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing poverty in the past and present.” Poverty may mean different things to different people. Openheim and Harker (1996) state that “Poverty means going short materially, socially and emotionally. It means spending less on food, on heating and on clothing than someone on an average income.” There isn’t an official definition for poverty but it is suggested that if an income is half of the national average then it indicates poverty. (BBC Scotland.) The World Bank Organisation says that poverty is mostly based on incomes and writes that “A person is considered poor if his or her income falls below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs.” The minimum level that is referred to in this quote is commonly known as ‘the poverty line’ and varies is different parts of the country.
These are the income and non-income poverty. Income poverty is a type of poverty wherein the person is deprived of money and assets used to provide basic needs such as food and medicine. On the other hand, non-income poverty occurs when a person may have little money but their quality of life is poor.
