They own the government, today, mainly through campaign contributions and lobbyists. The key interest of the rich class is to follow the first rule of capitalism, “expand or…
actions that would determine the fate of the government became increasingly uneasy. Two opposing ways of thinking evolved and battled for how we would establish our country: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. While both seemingly concerned for the well being of the country, the predominant factor that separates Anti-Federalist Mery Otis Warren from Federalist James Madison is the perception they had over the citizens in their relation to the government.

These services have come at some sort of cost to citizens, while others are given (seemingly) freely.

So it may come as a shock that in a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2007, 69% of Americans did not know the name of the vice president. The fact is that most people do not care about politics. This leads to a lack of…
What is the purpose of government? Is there an ideal organizational structure that a country could employ to ensure that a government serves its people to the best of its ability? Karl Marx and Max Weber, like others before and after them, both strove to help answer these questions. Although one could argue that we may never find a “perfect” system of government, both men presented new ways of thinking that continue to influence society today.
