With the United States having numerous amounts of health issues and food outbreaks yearly, it is safe to say that we need a hopeful idea for the future to bring healthy and natural foods. Many people believe industrial/factory farming should continue to increase, but it’s quite the contrary, industrial/factory farming needs to be put to end and the only type of farming that should be expanding is the system used in Polyface farm, which is holon farming. In the text, “The Animals: Practicing Complexity”, by Michael Pollan, he discusses Joel Salatins’ Polyface farm and its complex system. All the animals depend on each other and Salatin is basically imitating a natural ecosystem where there is no such thing as waste. However, in the text, “What

Automobiles. Telephones. Lightbulbs. These were some of the major technological innovations created during 1865 to 1920. These creations impacted many Americans, even to this day. The groups of people that were most changed by these new innovations were factory workers, middle-class urban residents, and midwestern farmers.

Verizon implements a value chain analysis to understand the parts of the daily operations that create value, and those parts that do not. The value chain analysis is used to determine the level of competition, the type of products and services the consumer needs, and to figure out the ways that Verizon can stay sustainable and remain the market leader in the industry. This is vital because if done correctly Verizon will be able to gain high returns within the telecommunications industry by creating greater value to the customer. Verizon breaks their value chain into primary and support activities. The primary activities are research and development, infrastructure, marketing and sales, and customer

The United States military is the first and only line of defense for the greatest country in the world. Without a military to defend the people of the United States, the country would be subject to invasion from all other countries in the world. The rights that our Constitution grants these citizens would be void. The ideals that our forefathers fought for would be disregarded, and America would fall into ruin as we know it. This is why all those who live in the greatest country of the world should pay back their country with more than just tax dollars. Military service should be required for all capable citizens of the country. The benefits

However, a failure of the market can occur when the price system fails to take into account all of the costs and benefits involved, leading to an inefficient allocation of scarce resources in the free market. Externalities are often regarded as a source of market failure because the occurrence of externality leads the market to produce too much, over production, or too little of a good or service, under production. The externality can be divided into two types: positive externality and negative externality. While the negative externality is a cost caused by that market activity, the positive externality is a benefit that occurs as a consequence of the market activity, resulting in beneficial impact on bystander not involved in the production or consumption of a good. Both externality can be commonly found in everyday life. Positive externality, for example, can happen as a result of immunizations and research into new technologies whereas the negative externality can arise from automobile exhaust and barking

Chevron (CVX) has pulled up impressively from its 52-week lows that it had hit in late August, appreciating almost 30% in less than three months. The pick-up in Chevron’s stock price of late can be attributed to marked improvement in oil prices in the past three months. However, of late, oil prices have started faltering on the back of different reasons ranging from an increase in stockpiles to a strong dollar.

In the previous article entitled the myth of natural monopoly, it is discussed that natural monopoly does not exist and that monopolies were made usually through government interventions. Such government interventions are in the form of regulations imposed to avoid the so-called “market failures”.

This introductory section provides a brief overview of “internalizing externalities” worldview and its key characteristics. Every subject of economic activity affects environment surrounding it, which may include water, plants, soil, animals, people, other subjects and even weather and climate. The effects caused by economic activity are called “externalities” and they can be positive or negative. Regarding the environment, externalities are mostly negative: air and water pollution, extinction of species, weather and climate change. In response to the rapidly deteriorating environmental situation (as a result of industry development and extended manufacturing), some governments introduced special

This article is about China implementing an expansionary fiscal policy, decreasing the tax but mainly increasing government spendings to improve livelihoods and attempt economic growth.

Hirschman (1958) argued that foreign capital has positive growth effects because it bridges the savings gap in developing countries. He reasoned that FDI has the ability to propel an economy on a natural growth process. The saving gap and natural growth hypothesis is also supported by the Harod-Domar growth model. It was argued that in order to grow, a country must save a significant proportion of its national income. However, if it is unable to generate savings locally, it can do so through external investment sources. This accumulation of capital would then lead to growth. Hirschman (1958) argued that FDI also brings in managerial skills and technical expertise. He maintained that local investors tended to be static, working at the same pace as the government. In this regard even though they were able to generate savings for the economy, they were not able to utilize them to stimulate further growth as they were generally apprehensive about taking on larger projects. Foreign investors on the other hand were innovative and detached from the government’s reluctance to engage in large capital projects that lead to dynamic growth. In addition, Hirschman (1958) claimed that foreign capital has the ability to maximize the potential of underutilized sectors of an economy. Hirschman (1958) however did not consider the fact that domestic investors are not generally hesitant to take on large projects, but lack the capital to do so which is a common problem in developing
