Analysis of GDP and Its Limitations

Analysis of GDP and Its Limitations

Introduction

Predominantly, economic well-being has great connections with social well-being (Easterlin, 2001). As such, most of the public policies that are intended to improve the social welfare are usually directed towards variables that indicate economic welfare.

Thus, economic progress in a country does not entirely translate to social happiness among citizens since some economic growth policies involve trade-offs between social risk and income growth (Bok, 2009). In essence, economic well-being entails a measure of economic wellness of citizens in a country ...

Problem Statement and Recommendations

The growing influx of Mid-East refugees into Europe, particularly in last five years, cannot be overemphasized.

As Mid-East asylum seekers and refugees continue to pour into European countries and across borders, European security is at stake at multiple levels. First, "source" countries – i.e. countries at Europe's southern borders at which refugees first set foot from countries of origin – pose ...

On upside, job outsourcing, particularly at a global level, is apt to enhance productivity, lower costs and, for one, enhances core efficiencies for outsourcing companies, according to supporters of outsourcing. If anything, cost assumes center stage in a decades-long debate now on outsourcing. There are, however, more in outsourcing ...

Introduction

Secular states are based on the need to separate the state from religion. Secular states are neutral and do not support any religion. On the contrary, Islamic countries are based on the need to introduce Islamic law within political systems.

The true political rule should be based on divine laws such as Islamic laws. This discussion is based on case studies of Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) and Jamal Abd alNasser, Egypt’s Liberation, 1953.

Compare and Contrast Hegel and Marx on Civil Society and the Problem of Human Freedom

Essay

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel argued that civil society is characterized by private property, the pursuit of self-interest, and human needs.

Hegel claimed that civil society is perfectly able to balance the wide array of human interests and needs. However, he further stated that the state, as a highly ethical entity, provides stability to the totality of needs by guaranteeing the security and strength of the division of labor, social ...

Those who do not have this knowledge or have been deprived of this knowledge are usually referred to as the illiterates. Despite the enormous modernization of the current society, the problem of illiteracy stills persists and there are ...

The globalizing world has led to the increase of foreign direct investments (FDIs) from multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly in nations that are technologically backward. In turn, increasing FDIs have resulted to technological advancements, which owes to technological spillovers.

However, concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function, production function, did not provide consistent findings on the ...

Introduction

Adam Smith is one of the most revered economists that influenced the development of modern economic thought. Adam Smith is famous for coining the term “the invisible hand of the market” which is the perfect metaphor for market movements driven by supply and demand.

He also thought similarly but contrasted with his contemporaries such as Bernard Mandeville.

Adam Smith was a Scottish ...

On the other hand, Wolff sees the university as the pursuer of simple truths in various areas and the institution responsible for the preparation of young people for the pursuit of these simple truths. Finally, Readings envisions a scenario where the fragmentation of university as a factor that can be put be leveraged on and put to good use. While all these perspectives are true in their own rights, it is this paper’s contention that Kerr’s assertion is the most defensible. This paper will discuss why the university is a loose federation sufficing for the satisfaction of diverse needs.

Many would claim ...
