Economics and the Enlightenment

TOPIC: Economics

Use Adam Smith, the general concepts of the Enlightenment and current events to support your ideas.

Questions:
-Is Capitalism the best economic model for the world?

-Would Adam Smith approve of some of the recent practices of Wall Street and major corporations?

- Did the current recession begin because Hobbes was right and people are selfish by nature, with the banks and lenders preying on hopeful/uneducated buyers?

-How should or economy be fixed? How should our government continue to deal with the "fiscal cliff", the debt ceiling, etc? Pure capitalism, no intervention, crash and burn? OR should the government intervene in a semi or completely socialist fashion?

-Obamacare: our healthcare system is broken in many ways. Apply these concepts to Obamacare and debate how to fix our healthcare crisis.




You are required to post and must directly engage another student. I am grading based on quality and amount of interaction, so post away! Engage with your fellow AP Worlders and debate! Use as much evidence from the readings and any other research to back your claims!

GO!

ONE LAST THING: Don't write essays nor address every questions in one post. Spread it out and make your posts short enough that people will actually read them and address them. Remember to use the reply function!
