At the end of Mao’s rule, Deng Xiaoping took control of China, and transitioned its nationalized economy to a capitalist market. Though the economy greatly benefitted from this shift, millions of people became destitute and the state of the environment became worse. One way this economic transition did not benefit the Chinese people is the standard of living. The state-owned factories “went bankrupt” and people’s “incomes kept falling”, and the unemployed were unable to support themselves and their families without

How important was the decline of Britain’s staple industries in explaining the industrial unrest of the period between 1918-1929? The quick decline of the staple industries had a huge effect among Britain, it accounted for almost half of Britain’s total out put, a quarter of employment and three quarters of exports before 1914. Through out 1920’s unemployment remained at about 10- 20%of an insure workforce where as Britain’s share of the world export trade fell from 18-11% and a drop in value also in overseas investments, which of course left Britain struggling to pay for imports. London was no longer the undisputed financial capital of the world and as the US replaced Britain as the world money lender, the US dollar displaced the pound as the world’s major currency. However there were a few positive developments along side the bad, for example in the 1920’s new industries were introduced of the second industrial revelation, electrical goods, chemicals and motor car production through the mid 20’s was higher by three times than its year of 1914, these where among the products and services that Britain Introduced in an effort to revitalise and flourish Britain’s industries.
These resources are used to portray the chronological changes in the Chinese society and how these fluctuations have impacted the suicide rates. The decade of the 1990s began with some of the highest suicide rates around the world, however, the major economic and political shifts consequently reduced the suicide rates by the year 2000.

For example, both urban and rural suicide rates decreased, male suicide rates became higher than those of the females, and elderly suicide significantly increased.
Illegal Aliens are harming our economy and are taking American jobs contrary to what you are led to believe. "Over the past 10 years, more than 2 million low-skilled American workers have been displaced from their jobs and each 10 percent increase in the immigrant workforce decreases U.S. wages by 3.5 percent" writes CNN financial analyst Lou Dobbs (Grigg 1). Current president George W. Bush and his political allies assure the public that illegal immigrants are doing jobs that nobody else wants. However, Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, points out "what they really mean is that they are doing the jobs that they as middle- and upper-class people don't want" (Grigg 1). Agriculture has many other instances of employers switching to immigrant workers whether they are legal or not to increase their profits.
True, during the time of the war, and for about ten years post-war, the US economy soared to all time highs. But shortly after, when the costs of the war had kicked in and the debts came rolling in, what followed was the greatest depression America had ever faced. People lived in “Hoovervilles”, thirteen million people became unemployed, the income of an average American family decreased by 40%, there was more emigration than immigration, racial tensions ran high, etc. These are just some of the consequences of the Great Depression, part of which was caused by the debt of a war that America could have avoided, thus avoiding such a hard blow by the Depression. Had America stayed out of the war, the economy might have not been affected as seriously as it was by the Great
In today’s current news nothing is more prominent than that of the American government and it’s struggles. The American Economy has been a main focus of thousands of Americans for the past few years. A lot that has been argued deals with the massive difference between the upper 1% of the nation and the angry 99% of the rest. Occupy Wall Street deals with these angry 99% looking for some sort of reciprocation from these individuals and the hopes that they can began to enjoy their lives without the fear of becoming broke and possibly homeless due to the failing economy of the U.S.A. ("Occupy Wall Street"). This movement has highly appealed to the youth of this nation especially that of the college graduate students that are still struggling to
The Great Depression was the greatest fall of the economy in the history of the world. Today's financial situation is hardly that harsh, although it does have some resemblance. In both the Great Depression and our economy today, unemployment was high and the value of the dollar was low. The economic collapse of 2008 continues to be at the top of the nation’s attention. It is still devastating jobs, bankrupting businesses, and forcing homeowners into foreclosure.
