Modern consumer capitalist democracy or, simply, modern capitalism, has been widely and profoundly criticized by numerous scholars, policymakers, and national leaders.

Homework #1-Econ 515

Discuss the argument that private prisons save states money and prevent fiscal crisis. Based on the report, the argument that prisons save state money and avert fiscal crises is a mixed one.

The commons problem

The tragedy of the commons is the destruction of the environment that occurs when many people use a limited resource in common (Ostrom, 2015). According to Garret Hardin (1968), the population usually grows exponentially, but the world available to the human population is finite. Therefore, for the finite world to support the human population, the population growth rate should be zero.

Hardin (1968) disagrees with Bentham’s goal which is to achieve ...

Elite theory

The elite theory posits that the power, control and influence on government and corporations are vested on the minority. Indeed the American democracy is essentially a classical example of the elite theory. This is because of the lobbyists system of governance practiced in Washington. A perfect example of the rule of minority can be deduced on the Obamacare law that essentially gives insurances the opportunity to exploit the masses through the compulsory subscriptions as necessitated by the legislation. Thus far, no credible evidence can contradict the elite theory.
