Main Points The Price of Everything is an unabridged dialogue between a seasoned professor of economics and a passionate college student that takes place as the student decides to stand against corporate greed. One of the overarching themes throughout the book is that even though a company may seek to maximize profits it is by no means malevolent or malicious. In the case of Big Box, it is easy to illustrate them as an evil corporation, capitalizing on the misfortune of others in the wake of a…

today’s society. It is embedded within our culture and also within the so-called “American Dream” like nothing else in comparison. Our world is ruled by Capitalism, the world’s top heavy weights are of capitalistic ideology and have structured their economies to run in said fashion. It is near impossible to eliminate income inequality in a realistic environment, however it could be done theoretically if everyone were to be on a “same page” basis with regards to how things should be done…

inducing long-term structural changes to any given country’s economy, especially for developing economies (2008: 224). This is the case as in developing economies, investment decisions without state guidance would typically only serve to “perpetuate existing structures” and not lead to any major industrialisation (Beresford 2008: 225).

In the past, increased advancements have led to economic growth and development to developing and developed countries alike. Now with technology growing exponentially, the economy is at…

Introduction There are very deep transformations in the world capitalist economy, with consequences that are projected in the most varied planes of international relations and in the very significance of national systems. They are not situations of conjuncture, but structural alterations that redefine from their base fundamental patterns of capitalist development. Hence the character of the recent crisis, the breadth of its expressions, the persistence of its effects and the uncertainties…

Nowadays we live in a mostly capitalist society, we buy many products and services and do not even think about the waste that we are generating or about the impacts that we are having in the environment. In order to make a difference on how we treat the environment, we have to be more self conscious about the contributions that we have on it, so that we can find ways to act accordingly. It is easier to understand and see what the harms are that we cause and how to change our actions to be more…

money as a crucial feature of social life. In particular, to show how the concept and value of money has changed over time, an historical and sociological context will be taken into consideration. Thus, the analysis of how society conceived money economy in the past, and of how money is conceived in the present instead, will demonstrate also an awareness of the development of sociology as a discipline itself. In addition, the sociologist’s concept of “blasé attitude” will also be discussed in…

overlapping, there is an obvious discord on how to get America to a better place than it is today. My views tend to be more along the idea of Sanders. I believe that the top 1% can afford an increase in taxation as the only way for America economy to grow is to pay into economy.

Despite how people feel or fall on agreement with the issues of…
