In the paper entitled, “An Experimental Examination of Rational Rent Seeking,” Potters, de Vries and van Winden (1998) explore the power of the rent-seeking model through laboratory experiments. Rent Seeking was an idea that was first developed by Gordon Tullock in 1967 in his classic paper, “The Welfare Costs of Tariffs, Monopolies and Theft.” In this paper, he discusses three separate but still related phenomena. Firstly with tariffs, he considers how import-competing industries spend real resources in order to acquire tariff protection. With monopoly seeking, he talks about how companies again spend resources in order to obtain (or maintain) a monopoly.…

The system of a market, formed through the supply and demand of goods, can be divided amongst different types (types of what?), that can be classified based on the competition the supplier has for allocating his/her goods. Two commonly known divisions are the free market and the competitive market, as discussed in Cocktail Party Economics, written by Evelin Adomait and Richard Maranta. The writers argue that, no matter how efficiently a perfectly functioning competitive market is working, it is unlikely that market’s outcomes will be equitable. In order to prove this, I this paper will be looking at the efficiency, equity and market failure/success in both the cases of the provision of public education and the financial markets such as housing.…
The temperature outside was 73 degrees, but fuses were blowing at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Continuing business from October’s meeting, councilmember Dale Reynolds requested that a special meeting be held in the interest of homelessness in the city. Having that meeting in the Multi-purpose Room with department heads from city agencies, two council members met on Wednesday to put their heads together to implement a way, to solve the ever growing problem. “Homeless people, whether they have mental illnesses or drug addictions, or a combination of both, still need to be treated with respect and dignity,” Reynolds said. “We need to help these people, not sweep them under the rug, or put them on buses and ship them out of town.…
“You are what you make yourself out to be,” is a saying that I have heard frequently, but didn’t quite understand until it finally clicked. Anybody seeking power, whether it be a politician, business owner, or an average day competitor, uses the essence of acting. The use of narratives and white lies allows for the powerful to entice the people surrounding them by painting themselves as a perfect person. Author of Empire of Illusion, Chris Hedges, contends that artifice is needed as a skill for success. Artifice is an essential tool in competitions where individuals have to assert their “power”, there are instances in our Presidential administration where acting is crucial, and artifice is sometimes needed to create connections.…
Contrary to what the documentary The High Cost of Low Prices argues, the Walmart corporation believes that they truly help small businesses and benefit communities. When Sam’s Club was founded in 1983, Sam Walton’s goal was to give entrepreneurs the ability to buy the products they need to create and sustain successful local businesses. Just like any other entrepreneur, Walton knew how challenging it was to run a small business, after all, Walmart had to start somewhere. Sam’s Club was founded due to Walton’s “passion for leadership through service” and wish to “leverage his resources.” Because the success of small businesses aids a growing economy and adds to the creation of new jobs, the Walmart corporation understands the importance of…
Seattle is surrounded by hills and is next to Puget Sound which is a body of water that is an extension of the Pacific Ocean. It is also surrounded by Lake Washington to it’s east. Even though Seattle isn’t the capital of Washington because it’s located to the very south west, it’s still named a major city because of it’s location and it’s advantages. Seattle is surrounded by mountains on either side, so it has mild temperature with cool summers and warm winters. Seattle is also pretty high above sea level.…
Affirmative Action: The Price of Preference In “The Price of Preference”, Shelby Steele takes a stance opposing affirmative action and focuses his discussion primarily on the effects that it has on African-Americans. Steele reasons that while affirmative action was created with good intentions, he argues that black people have more to lose from it than they gain. Steele believes that affirmative action strayed from its initial goal of anti-discrimination enforcement and instead escalated into a form of social engineering through preferential treatment. Essentially, the main issue presented by affirmative action is the manner in which it attempts to bypass the development of formerly oppressed groups to the stage where they are fully able to…
Then there’s the whole other race factor: Is concern over “income levels” and “demographic change” just gloss for an underlying assumption—that neighborhoods go south when white people move out and black people move in. If that isn’t enough to roil the revitalization waters, this emerging shift in neighborhood policy rings all kinds of alarm bells about gentrification and social engineering. Baltimore has avoided such prickly issues for the last decade with a community development approach under former Mayor Kurt Schmoke that favored the most decayed sectors in the city. Now, as Mayor Martin O’Malley’s administration begins formulating a new approach that gives greater consideration to neighborhoods that haven’t yet deteriorated those tricky issues threaten to surface. That has raised fears in some quarters of a polemical battle.…

Robin Sharma once said “Words can inspire and words can destroy, choose yours well.” Words are an interesting invention, they’re how we communicate, express ourselves, and inspire others. Words will always be with us even when we have nothing. The Rent Collector is a book about Sang Ly, a girl in a Cambodian dump who learns how to read to make a better life for her family. Through her experience she learns how important words are.…
Every movie has multiple techniques that coordinate with each other in order to bring the meaning of it all together. The movie Creed, directed by Ryan Coogler, is one that uses these techniques quite nicely in order to show the determination of the main character, Adonis Johnson. From the very beginning of the film a big technique that stands out is narrative, which provides the structure of the movie. It begins with an extremely noticeable motif of Adonis Johnson at a juvenile detention, back when he was a child. This motif was placed within the introductory, before fast forwarding the whole plot line a few years later to Adonis being in adulthood.…
Additionally, this problem is the case for many people across America as they are living in apartments, condos, or in the heart of the city. A report done by the U.S. Census showed that 62 percent of the population lives in cities (Bureau). Although under some circumstances where people do have access to a backyard in their home, often people are renting their homes for a short period. Over the years, the increase in renting has skyrocketed in Millennials, according to a study done by City Lab, a reporting company that covers the pressing issues in metro areas found that, “the share of renters between the ages of 18 and 34 jumped from 62.5 percent in 2006 to 71.6 percent in 2014” (Florida). Under strict renting policies, landlords tend to be…
The topic that is widely discussed in big cities is gentrification. When my peers were asked, what they defined gentrification as, they described it as “rich people coming into cheaper neighborhoods.” According to their definition, gentrification has not been a positive effect to the majority, the lower classes. Gentrification is the occurrence when wealthy classes come into affordable neighborhood. As a result, this usually raises prices as store and homeowners see an opportunity to gain more money.…
