As if the consequences of alcohol prohibition could not be forgotten soon enough, the 1970s unshackled the ‘safety at any cost’ mentality of policymakers in Washington with a regained sense of restrictive goodwill. Yes, a land world renowned for its respect of individual rights reinstituted coercive public policy historically marred with disaster and unintended consequences. The government of the United States, yet again in denial of bodily autonomy, demonized another inanimate object in an…

rich academic knowledge. 15-20% of UChicago graduates receive PhD’s, a fact that interests me as I’m interested in a career in academia.

The primary victim of the political and economic crisis of the 70s was the traditional Keynesian policy, which was viewed as the model for progression of states’ economies (Pilling 2014). The decade’s trouble was typified by unprecedented, concurrent high inflation and unemployment rates, which the dominant economic premise of the time, Keynesian theory – was unable to resolve. High inflation and unemployment and the accompanying recession it generated led to the term stagflation. Furthermore,…

Most females with the same qualifications as males will not make the cert over the male. In fact, Houghton Milton Harcourt stated women may account for only 25 percent of the upper‐level managers in large corporations.
