Please write a brief dissertation (200 - 400 words) stating your opinion on Thomas Piketty's proposals. He proposes the implementation of a global progressive tax on capital to mitigate wealth inequality.

Unrest and economic underperformance haunt the emerging worldAt the start of the century, developing economies were a source of unbounded optimism and fierce ambition. Today South Africa is reeling from an insurrection, Colombia has suffered violent protests and Tunisia faces a constitutional crisis. Illiberal government is in fashion. Peru has just sworn in a Marxist as its president and independent institutions are under attack in Brazil, India and Mexico.Source: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2021/07/31/unrest-and-economic-underperformance-stalk-the-emerging-worldAccessed: 20/08/21 According to economic theory, the above occurrences come as a result of emerging markets failing to accomplish which of the following objectives?a) Price stabilityb) Balance of payments stabilityc) Economic growthd) Full employment

What are the various taxes paid in the USA by corporations? Which of those has the most significant impact upon economic analyses?

Analyze and propose solution to the economic problem using the principles of applied economics. Poverty - despite the talk about economic growth, the poverty rates have not changed significantly sibce 2006. As per the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), poverty incidence of the population improved from 26.3% to 25.2% in 2012.

Some countries rely relatively heavily on taxes that distort economic behavior and others do not. A recent econometric study found that countries in the latter category tend to grow faster than countries in the former (Kneller et al.. 1999). Use the discussion surrounding Figure 15.9 to explain this phenomenon.  

Question 2: Empirical research in various countries creates so many problems for the researchers. Describe these problems that are generally encountered during such type of research.

In section 2.5 of Chapter 2, what are the different variables that sociologists collect data on to empirically understand how global inequality affects the quality of life of people across countries/populations? Identify and explain each of these variables. (1 point) The End of Poverty? Questions (documentary can also be viewed using the video lectures which include my commentary) 2. How did the global economy emerge? (1 point) 3. How did "dependency" emerge within the global economic system? (1 point) 4.

After WWII, how have the rich countries maintained control over the economies of the poorer countries? (1 point) 7. Why is poverty worse in poorer countries compared to poverty in…

The economic activity of a country is often quantified as the gross domestic product (GDP), which is the sum of private and government consumption, investments, and net exports (the value of exports minus the value of imports). For a developed country such as the United States, economists might see a GDP growth rate of 3% a year as reasonable. However, production and consumption create some pollution. By how much would pollution per dollar of GDP have to decline for pollution levels 50 years from now to be the same as current levels, assuming a 3% annual growth rate of GDP? In 75 years? In 100 years? (Hint: Let the current pollution level be 1 and find out what the future pollution level would be).

Refer to Figure 11-1. Assuming that higher education spending means better quality, how many families will receive better quality education because of the government providing public education?

Prepare a Strategic Plan for the period 2022 – 2025 for a Caribbean Country of your choice.  This Strategic Plan should propose a minimum of one policy objective for each of the tenets of sustainable development.  The Strategy should cover the following sections: Development of the policy initiatives which are being proposed to facilitate sustainable economic development Explain how the policy initiatives will deliver on the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). (SDG Objectives: End Poverty; Reduce Inequalities; Tackle the Environment) Align one policy and or programme initiative with Meier’s primary goal of economic development Governance framework – identify the critical elements of good governance which will be critical to the success of your strategy. Analyse the potential impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic will have on the implementation of the strategy.
