David Ricardo: Contribution To The Development Of Economic Theory And Contemporary Thought
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. David Ricardo, born in 1772 and third of seventeen children, espoused two economic theories that helped to form the fundamental basis of contemporary economic thought. Indeed, his Distribution Theory and International Trade Theory provided a substructure upon which future economists could base their subsequent theories, giving rise to the troubling potential of capitalism and class status. His close friend and fellow economist Thomas Malthus helped Ricardo to hone in on a particular sector of economic considerations that has held its value throughout the past three centuries. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Deregulation and the Glass-Steagall Act
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper which discusses the current
conditions and controversies concerning the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 as it relates to
issues of financial institutes and issues of deregulation. The history of the act is presented
in helping to establish the reasoning behind the action. This is followed by a brief
illustration of what has taken place in relationship to the act, in the past few decades. The
majority of the paper addresses conditions and concerns since the repeal of the
Glass-Steagall Act which took place last year. Overall, while the act of 1933 was never
truly considered sufficient, it did maintain some control over banking regulations. With the
growth in technology and such it became necessary to finally get rid of the act, but by
doing so we have a great deal of issues to address if the future of financial institutions is to
be secure and profitable. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Dilemmas of the High-Tech Labor Market
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the problems organizations face in filling their high tech labor needs. Unemployment in the late 1990s has reached its lowest point in 28 years. It is difficult for any employer to find the right people to fill openings, but some observers claim that the shortage most greatly felt in the high tech industries even threaten continued local economic growth. Most organizations have Year 2000 concerns, but hiring for that reason represents only a small portion of current openings. Instead, more than half of all high tech openings have resulted from company growth, and more than half of those are in applications programming. The face of corporate operation is in flux and moving toward greater electronic dependency; corporate America has all it can do to keep up. Two charts. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Economic Activity on Each Side of the Great Depression
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page
paper examining the US economy of the 1920s and that of the 1930s. There was a wealth
of difference between the two. The federal government undertook all sorts of inflationary
and risky ventures in an effort to create jobs and get money from wages back into
circulation. None of its efforts seemed to have any lasting effect, and it took the economic
benefits of another World War to extricate the US economy from the Great Depression that
gripped the entire world. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
