Abstract of the Chapter V

In this particular chapter, Thomas Friedman questions the necessity of the free trade across the globe and whether it will benefit America as a whole. Basically, he spent a significant amount of time thinking if David Ricardo was right or not. Ricardo, the English economist who lived at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, described the basics of free trade. This is the beneficial cooperation of two or more countries that are concentrated on the production of goods in which they have a comparative cost advantage. So, the question is if America should keep the principles of free trade ...

Introduction:

In most of the countries, the labor unions are recognized as the body that plays a significant role in fighting for the rights of the workers. Hence, most of their activities center around negotiating better pay for their members and ensuring their working conditions are favorable. They also represent all their members if a dispute arises between them and their employers. By doing so, it ensures that the employer does not violate the rights of the members who are part of the union (Saad, 2015). To some extent, the larger unions normally engage themselves in the act of lobbying ...

Description of the Social Problem: Student Debt in America:

The total outstanding amount of student loan debt in the US amounts to $ 1.2 Trillion. This is an astoundingly high amount of debt that not only directly affects the indebted students, but also has an effect on the economy of the country as whole, as well as the soundness of the fiscal system. There were around 37 million student credit borrowers with exceptional understudy advances in 2013. By Federal Reserve Bank of New York accounts, remarkable student debt obligation in the United States lies between $900 Billion and $1 Trillion with around $850 Billion in Federal understudy advance debt. ...

In the recent past, ethics in the context of employment has been considered as universal among employees in both private and public sectors. While courts have solved numerous cases related to the working environment, most ethical issues have remained unresolved. The law stipulates the guidance for making informed decisions concerning ethical issues in working environment, but such issues should also be understood beyond permissible considerations. Therefore, Employment-At-Will Doctrine maintains that in the absence of specific contractual, as well as other legal obligations that stipulate the duration of employment contract; all employees are engaged “at will.” Hence, the statement implies ...

Playing SPENT was a revealing experience. Being a person who enjoys online games, I eagerly started this assignment. Usually I find online gameplay more therapeutic and numbing than thought provoking, however. My experience with this game was indeed different. Opening up the UI of SPENT, you see a great design with bold typeface that sets the narrative in place. The player reads the set-up across the screen and enters into the world it has created. We are faced at first with macroeconomic statements describing the 14 million Americans experiencing unemployment (SPENT). Next, we are told to imagine ourselves in ...

Introduction

The article entitled The Gender Gap in Wages, circa 2000 by June O’Neil discusses the existence of gender pay gap between men and women, despite the considerable social and economic growth that occurred during this century. Accordingly, the participation of women in the labor force has dramatically increased in the turn of the century, yet the labor force activity does not seem to narrow the gender wage gap. O’Neil argued that the wage gap between men and women is spelled out by non-discriminatory elements which “are unlikely to change radically in the near future unless the roles ...

Introduction

The taxation system is the largest contributor when it comes to government revenue. There are five basic principles when it comes to the idea of taxation. These principles are: 1) to raise revenue, 2) reprice certain goods and services (tobacco, alcohol, etc.) to meet social objective, 3) income and wealth redistribution, 4) raise representation within the democratic process, and 5) to reorganize the economy (Murphy, 2009, p. 211). It is a firm argument that all of these principles must be in place in order for the concept of taxation to work.

Introduction

The human resource is the most valuable asset in an organization since it is responsible for the daily activities that take place in a business entity. Failure to acknowledge the contribution made by employees implies that an organization is likely to encounter a culture based on low staff morale as well as forms of individualism that negatively affects the operations in a company. Any human resource department needs to place major priority on key aspects such as minimum wage for employees, ensuring health and safety standards comply with OSHA standards and protect the health of employees throughout their interaction ...

Question 1:

David H. Autor shares insight into his analysis on why income inequality has continued to rise since the 1970’s. According to Autor, the primary source of this inequality has been due to the need for “a rising skills premium” for securing employment (Autor, 843). Whereas there once was a point in American history where blue collar labor jobs were in high demand because of the large manufacturing that was occurring in the United States, in modern times these jobs have been dwindling. In place of these labor jobs there has been a demand for jobs that involve cognitive ...

What is the difference between demand “Wallahs” and supply “Wallahs”? “Supply wallahs” focus on the idea in which the policy makers of the educational systems emphasize on the strategies to incorporate education in the society by means of providing students with the educational opportunities and ensuring the availability of the skilled educators in the educational institutions. However, “demand wallahs” are focued on the idea of limiting the availability of the educational opportunities when they are not required in the society and hence, the lack of parents’ interest in availability of the educational opportunities is considered as ...

Even though we are claiming that we are leaving in a free world where everyone has equal rights, there are still some forms of injustice that are done to women especially as far as employment and pay is concerned. Up to date, women pay still lags behind and what they are paid now on average could be equal to what men were paid over 10 years ago . There have been numerous efforts done so as to ensure that women get equal pay with their male counterparts and the question that many are asking today is – is it time that ...

The Federal Funds Rate Hike

The New York Times, in an article by Binyamin Appelbaum entitled "Fed raises key interest rate for first time in almost a decade" discussed the pronouncement of the Federal Open Market Committee ﴾FOMC﴿ to increase the Federal Funds rate.

The Current Situation of the House of Lords

The House of Lords recently was challenged with negative publicity after the scandalous video of the former Lord and Chairman of Committee in the Lords, John Sewel, who was caught sniffing cocaine and indulging in immoral acts with three prostitutes according to the report of The Sun (Moyes, 2015). The scandalous report was followed with news questioning the travel allowances of about 20 peers in the House of Lords ranging from GBP 100,000 – GBP 200,000 each for five years even if they do not actively participate in the debate (Swinford, Wilkinson, and Leet, 2015).

A firm currently uses 40,000 workers to produce 180,000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $100, and the price of the firm's output is $28. The cost of other variable inputs is $500,000 per day. (Note: Assume that output is constant at the level of 180,000 units per day.) Assume that total fixed cost equals $1,200,000.

Calculations:

Total Variable Costs = (Number of Workers x Worker’s Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs TVC = (40 000 x $100) + $500 000 = $4 500 000 Total Costs = Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed Costs ...

Efficacy refers to how confident a person is when striving to achieve a goal. Resiliency is how an individual deals with adversity or conflict and how effectively he or she is able to “bounce back” from it. Hope is characterized as a feeling ...

As an election year approaches in the United States in 2016, debates on minimum wage laws are a topic of discussion for some of the running candidates. For example, Bernie Sanders, who is gaining popularity among so many young voters promises to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour if he wins the election. The importance of minimum wage laws is crucial to discuss on various levels. A large percentage of the population struggling to get by is left behind as minimum wage remains below an amount that is sufficient for living wage of life in 2016. In ...

Minimum wages refer to the common government policy which requires the absolute lowest possibly salary that can be paid per hour in public or private industries from selected jobs. The modern practice of governments setting a minimum wage began in the late 1800s in New Zealand. By the 1920s, most western nations and a fair number of nations around the world had instituted basic minimum wages legislation. Nowadays, nearly all nations have some form of a minimum wage policy in force (Yadoo & Woellert, 2016). However, the ubiquity of minimum wage laws across the has not meant that it is ...

A quota is a trade restriction imposed by the government that limits the amount or value of goods imported or exported into a country (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). An import quota affects the consumers, producers and the national welfare. Firstly, a quota reduces the supply of a commodity in the importing country’s domestic market. The reduction in supply causes an increase in market price thus leading to a decline in consumer surplus (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). However, the increase in market price benefits both foreign and domestic traders hence producer surplus increases (Carbaugh, 2010, p. 151). However, the ...

The demographic deficit identified by Passaris (2007) refers to the imbalances in the population of the province as a result of factors ranging from age to sex (Tosun, 2013). While this is a general description of demographic deficit and its contributory factors, ...

One of the most hotly contested issues amongst U.S. policymakers at all levels of government is the minimum wage. Conservatives argue that increasing the minimum wage will drive up prices and unemployment, decreasing tax revenues and increasing the number of people dependent on welfare. Liberals argue that it would inject more capital into the economy, increase jobs and tax revenues, and make fewer people dependent on government assistance. There is an element of truth to both arguments depending on how much and how gradually the minimum wage is raised. The economic impact of gradually raising the federal minimum wage ...

A controversial subject that has been examined by several news outlets in recent months pertains to the debate about wage controls. Some argue that the minimum wage should be increased to help those with jobs to earn a “living wage.” Others argue increasing minimum wages will result in increased unemployment. Additionally, the government and some local and state governments have already increased minimum wages for government workers and have proposed increasing wages that private firms must pay their employees. If such wage increases indeed lead to increases in unemployment, then the result could be an increase in government transfer ...

It can be concluded that the theoretical context of the campaign can be challenged on numerous grounds. The most obvious is the fact that most of the positions (catering) in Mc. Donald could not be compared to other positions of specialization that offer higher wages and career growth. Hence, any contextual comparison to other positions of industry or positions of other industries could not be conducted on the grounds of Equity theory. Furthermore, the conception of relating the wage raise with business revenue and growth does not justify the claim, as well. This is because of the fact that ...

Article summary- Against unions

The article titled “Labor Union 'Studies' Lead To Minimum Wage Legislative Malpractice” written by Richard Berman appeared in the Forbes magazine on the 18th of October 2013. The author states that the main role of unions, which is to lobby for pay increases, harms the employees and the economy at large.

He asserts that the demands by unions for an increase in the minimum wage make no economic sense. This is because an increase in wages will make labor more expensive leading to a decrease in the demand for jobs. This means that the number of jobs available, especially ...

Moral philosophers categorized his character as vices. Vices are the perfect opposite of virtues. Vices are bad habits of character with its ...

Inflation is the continuous increase in the general price levels of commodities in the economy over a period. It is identified with the market fall of the value of money in a particular economy. This recurring price increase erodes the purchasing power of money creating economic distortions and uncertainty (Sargent 2002). Inflation may also be described as a sudden increase in supply of money in a given economy. This results to each unit of currency buying fewer commodities thus a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money. It can also be viewed as an increase in the supply of money at a rate ...

For a long time, this debate of Humans versus robot has persisted. Credible arguments have been tossed both ways to enumerate on the consequences, pros and cons of this.
