The Economist

The Economist wrote this article shortly after the denial of sexual relations by Clinton, so they focused on the ongoing investigation. The article begins by stating “Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater independent counsel, is to consider whether President Bill Clinton encouraged a former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, to lie under oath about an alleged affair with him” (Et Tu Monica 1). This assertion seems factual, but no source is cited when “is to consider” is used in the sentence. Who is…

Roger Arnold 's book How to think like an Economist has been a great help in understanding economics. Learning how to think as an economist has been quite interesting. The book made me realize that economics affects nearly every part of my life, something I really had not thought about. When thinking about this paper, I decided to share three areas of my life that involve interesting economic principles. These areas are my job, my car, and my hobby which is collecting books. There are a number…

The Great Depression Historian and Economists have discussed the great depression for almost a century, wondering how it happened, why it happened, and how it could be prevented. There have been conspiracy theories, blames on other countries, blame on credit usage, and blame on the US Federal Reserve. There are many perspectives of the great depression by many professionals, so a solid answer is difficult to find. But the argument that people will investing their savings, even taking out loans…

His book, Discover Your Inner Economist, has a focal point of self-awareness and how one can use it to their advantage. Within the book, he takes a wide variety of economic topics and presents them in an applicable fashion for one’s life elsewhere. This type of thinking is mimicked in his essay; in that, one’s perspective is relative to the limits he or she puts on their own mind. It seems as if Cowen came into this way of thinking through selective education and well-chosen life colleagues. He…

John Kenneth Galbraith is a famous economist. He invented a unique way of “doing” economics. This new way of doing things caused him to become a critic of conservatives and liberal economists. Galbraith believed in government power to balance the role of corporations in the economy and to financially support various activities, such as the arts. Galbraith believes that that those who do the same thing everyday, 40 hours or more every week deserve to be highly compensated for what they are…

and healthcare for their children. The growing skepticism against vaccines and the healthcare industry is worrying because it can potentially cause preventable deaths. In this paper, I will be responding to Sarah Pope’s entry in The Healthy Home Economist where she argued against vaccines. Pope established her family’s medical background to show that her claims are not unfounded. It is ironic that she used this to reel the reader to trust her because her background makes her a legitimate…

situations. Particularly, the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” which demonstrated how competitors have to compromise to optimise their results. My inexorable obsession with the causes and consequences of phenomenons inevitably led me to renowned “The Undercover Economist” by T.Harford, which has expanded my microcosm of economics and strengthened my critical thinking further following AS Thinking Skills.…

When it comes to viewing the world and trying to get a better understanding of how people live their lives and why things are the way they are, it’s interesting to look at it from the perspective of an economist. Economists tend to focus on the economical viewpoint of things, which is actually more important than most people think. The economy is an enormous part of the world and has a great effect on how we live our day to day lives. One economist’s theory on how everything should be running in…

Werner Sombart was a German economist and social scientist who was born in 1863. He was interested in the relationship between capitalism and religion, applying Marxist and Social Darwinist theories in his writings. He was interested in class hierarchies and the evolution of society, particularly in the progress of the German race.
