[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page outline of a presentation of the effect that health care costs have on the larger economy. The issue is whether basic economic principles such as supply and demand and price elasticity apply to health care. The superficial view is that health care is above the law of economic principles, but the fact is that it is not. The paper discusses increase in per capita spending from 1960 to 1998 and stresses that as more is spent on health care, there is less for families, individuals and the government to spend on other things including education and medical research.

Economist John Kenneth Galbraith
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper on economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Canadian-born economist John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ) has long been considered as “America’s leading public intellectual”. Besides being a government and economic advisor to Presidents Roosevelt, Kennedy and Johnson, Galbraith has written a great deal about the destructiveness of capitalism and consumerism within American society; a perspective which is not only controversial but not well accepted by the monopolies and big businesses of today. More recently, Galbraith has taken a stance against the growing concern of globalization and believes that too is destructive to the poor within society. Today, Galbraith considers American democracy to be one of “a democracy of the fortunate” and since the collapse of several of the large monopolies, like Enron, is aware that his book “The Affluent Society” written in 1958 could be as relevant in today’s world as it was almost fifty years ago.

Effects of Fixing Exchange Rates
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the likely effects of a developing South American nation establishing fixed exchange rates. With much of the world clamoring for increased free trade, there remains a debate over just how beneficial free trade really is. Protectionism is far less acceptable now than in the past, but there are indications that it would like to return if those fully opposed do not persist in resisting it. An alternative has been to suggest that national economies can be stabilized by imposing a fixed exchange rate, but freely-floating currency is seen as being the desirable condition.
