Economic segregation can be defined as the extent to which persons of different social classes live amongst each other.

In the midst of a globalized world, it becomes vital to appreciate the varying types of economies carried by different nations and cultures. When examining the effects and attributes of capitalism as a whole, it is necessary to understand that not all capitalisms are created equal. Two basic types of capitalism exist: liberal market economies (LME) and coordinated market economies (CME) (Hall and Soskice 2001, p. 8). However, within these two major groupings there are many different types of capitalism, which all have their differences that make their particular brand of society unique. There are several major forms of capitalism: mercantilism, ...

When examining the effects and attributes of capitalism as a whole, it is necessary to understand that not all capitalism is created equal. There are many different types of capitalism, which all have their differences that make their particular brand of society unique. There are several major forms of capitalism: mercantilism, free-market capitalism, social market economy, state capitalism, and corporate capitalism, all working toward the idea that societies run on the exchange of goods and services.
Mercantilism is one of the earliest forms of capitalism, and is mostly identified by the give and take of trade between nations (Aizenman ...

The Freedman’s bureau is otherwise known as the United States bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned lands (Freedman's Bureau Act of 1865, 2009). This bureau was formed between 1861 and 1865 with the sole purpose of taking care of the black slaves and the poor whites that lived in the south after the war. Over four million blacks gained their freedom after the Union won the war (Dickerson, 1877). As a result, they were poor and suffered great distress. The reason for this poverty is that most of the economies in the south were entirely dependent of plantation farming. ...

1. Why has the economy decreased in Egypt?
The economic downturn of Egypt attributes greatly to the ongoing Arab Spring protests, which first emerged in 2011 following the deposition of longtime president Hosni Mubarak. Having first gained power over Egypt in 1981, Mubarak has introduced a series of economic policies that eventually deprived feasible opportunities for Egyptians, in turn driving many of them towards poverty. Soon thereafter, lack of economic opportunities have led the Egyptian government with little sources of revenue, which would have been instrumental for the introduction of social services for aiding people against poverty.

Despite small in size, the Gulf Cooperation Council possesses an insurmountable amount of power in the Middle East as its members are the influential and richest nations in the Gulf. With the GCC acting as a political and economic union, other nations and even the international community is seeing the Union as a potential leader in enacting the Millennium Development Goals in the region. However, there are some studies that see GCC as a still fledgling organization that still does not have claws and fangs in influencing its member countries, especially in other concerns like political, economic and social policies it has ...

The capitalist system adopted globally comes with costs. One of the easily observable characteristic is that money defines a person. In other words, the economic ability determines one’s capacity and place in the society. This is what Karl Marx coined as pure capitalism which creates a system of classes in the society with the bottom at the pyramid being the poor.
This research paper appreciates the social class stratification argument by Karl Marx. Indeed, it is the contention of this paper that the economic ability impacts on the social class of a person. This is what can lightly be referred ...

Government spending encompasses all the country’s consumption and investment. It however excludes a country’s transfer payments. Basically, any country’s spending is funded by the taxes or country’s borrowing. Excessive government spending is thus a situation where a country spends more than it invests. When a gap exists between federal government’s spending and how it collects its tax, the country is likely to undergo excessive government spending. A likely consequence of excessive government spending is the debt crisis which may stem from its poor control of amount of tax receipts annually. This thus typifies uncontrolled spending.
Excessive government ...

Abstract

Can female participation in the labor force contribute to economic growth? Is there a causal relationship between female participation in the labor force and economic growth? This paper addresses these questions using the vector error correction model. For this study, an annual time series data for the period 1970 to 2012 for the United States has been used. The results show that there exists a co-integration between female participation and GDP per capita, which is a proxy measure for economic development. The result does not support a two-way causality between the variables. However, a causality running from GDP per ...

Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s.

Impact of Unemployment on the Long Term

The unemployment is defined as the state of looking for a job and not being able to get a job.

The ability to create new jobs is very essential for the national economies. The recession times in the world cause an increase in the unemployment rate, and some of the unemployments are long-term unemployments. The most ...

Chapter Two: Real Estate Lending Decision in Kuwaiti Banks

Literature Review

The five Cs of credit model – character, collateral, capital, conditions and capacity, all serve as important indicators for gauging the inclination and aptitude of debtors in fulfilling the obligations they have to their respective creditors (Sraeel, 2005, p. 40, par. 5; Strischek, 2009, par. 2). It is thus advisable for creditors to make their decisions based on the five Cs of credit model in order for them to assess the creditworthiness of their respective debtors properly (Strischek, 2011, par. 1). The prominence of the five Cs of credit model resurged most recently during the 2008 global financial ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

Another section of people believe that leaders have used the race to promote peace, diversity and regional integration. Based on these assertions, most people prefer not discussing issues related to race in the public because ...
