Krugman suggests making a stronger safety net so the gap between the poor and rich can be limited to an extent. Krugman uses this theory to highlight the fact that the middle class needs to be stronger and the only way to achieve that is to have a strong safety net. Income inequality is another point Krugman…
Fig. 3. Schematic Diagram of Power Line Guardians (“PLG”) PLGs are also used to give the real-time data on the lines such as: line current, conductor temperature, frequency, sag [17]-[21]. Fig. 4. The PLG communications system. The diagram (Fig.4) shows the PLG communications system. PLGs (blue) control the power flows on the lines. Super PLGs (red) can control both the power flows and the PLGs. These Super PLGs are also used to communicate with Energy Management Systems (EMS) and allow…
Economic Inequality Economic inequality is a growing issue on a global scale with many believing that it is part of the world we live in and there is nothing that can be done to solve it. In fact, there are many different contributors to economic inequality that can be solved individually to reduce its overall impact. Economic inequality is the difference between the rich and poor and has been an issue for quite some time. An economic balance must be found as a large wealth gap can hinder long…
assume homogeneity of variance. Time of day had a significant effect on memory call at the level P<.05 for the three conditions of F (2, 36) = 6.68, P= .003. This shows that time of day has a very significant effect on short term memory recall. Effect size was measured to test the strength of the relationship between the variables, Cohen’s D was conducted in the partial eta to indicate the standardised difference between two means, it was found that time of day had a partial eta of .271. The…

While the two share similar economic policies and political ideals, they have gone on separate paths since the late 20th century, some changes being more capitalism and others not. Government influence is in essentially all markets, and the fiscal policies set by Russia and China and patron-clientelism are no exception. Fiscal policies dictate how much the government spends and how much it taxes. A key difference…

Piketty goes further to argue that most of the debate on wealth distribution has been baseless due to lack of emphasis on the relevant data. In his book he explores the views of various scholars, philosophers, economists, historians, and sociologists on the wealth distribution issue. In 1798, Thomas Malthus argued that the main cause of the wealth distribution problem was overpopulation.…
