If one of them does not obey the rule, none of the rest people has an incentive to give 5…

What is Human Nature? A critique of the utopian ideal Hsun Tzu famously claimed that humans are evil, and although I wouldn’t opt for such emotive terminology, I believe that he was on the right lines. Humans are not evil; but they are inherently bad. Evil suggests something much more sinister, a plotting mind with a purpose for destruction. Rather, the process of evolution has determined human nature as innate and selfish, with survival and self-preservation an unconscious priority. I…

example, if you are in need of some computer accessories and your budget would be Rs. 15,000 to purchase but when you reach the store and find out that to get the accessories you require only Rs. 12,000, then the consumer surplus would be Rs. 3,000 (marginal benefit). Which means you spent Rs. 3,000 less than your budget. 1.2. PRODUCER SURPLUS…

It is explained that political support under democracy mechanically resembles a “consumption good” (535). Since money has a declining marginal utility, the affluent are more likely to individually aid campaigns in a significant manner. As a result, their interests are better represented by politicians vying for support and, consequently it creates asymmetrical representation of the private…

normal income he will only buy things that are necessary for him. On the other someone with extra income would buy things that are less needed.

The Life-Cycle Hypothesis (LCH) explains the saving and dissaving behavior of consumers via the life-cycle stages of a household. The LCH posits that spending and saving will vary as individuals attempt to hold their marginal utility of consumption constant as they transition through the various stages of the life cycle. The three stages of the life-cycle consist of young, middle-aged, and retired members of a household. As households venture through various stages over the life-cycle, each…

Singer says that when people are suffering and dying from food, shelter and medical problems that people should…
