Market failure has several types, two of which being monopolization and imperfect information. Monopolization refers to the emergence of only one player in a given market.

Without any competition, the people benefiting from the products supplied by the supplier will have no choice but to pay for the price the supplier sets. In that ...

1) Introduction of Economic Issue In my point of view, I completely disagree with the notion that the rich should pay more taxes. I strongly oppose over payment of taxes from the rich. In my point of view, the rich should be thanked for their great contribution to the economy of a nation rather than forcing them to pay more taxes than an ordinary citizen. It would be totally unfair to them to be victimized just because they are rich in the society (Olken, & Singhal, 2009). There are a number of reasons why I oppose this notion; one thing that ...

International Security

Debatably, the most potent lesson that all nations learnt from the first and second world wars, is the fact that sustaining war is one of the most expensive forms of public spending. War can drain the economic strength of a country to an extent that a country can shift from a first class economy to a middle income economy.

Nevertheless, the process itself is being done on all of three levels simultaneously, which means people end up paying several taxes at once.

The America constitution entitles every citizen the duty of paying income taxes. The criteria use to implement the law on taxes payer has created a feeling of unfairness.
