Assignment – Week 1
It is clear that the economic policy in general and the monetary policy in particular should be concerned with the overall economic well-being. In this paper we propose to discuss this core topic. We will provide an overall picture of the functioning mechanism. In this regard, the discussion will develop around the governmental policies and of FED, and their scope on the free market. The argumentation will refer to the notion of common good and will try to establish if the measures applied by FED have fulfilled their intended purpose given the recent international financial crises of 2007.
The orientation of the policies to a general well-being is connected to the fact that the government and the central bank from a

However, this policy is sustainable only on short run, because it generates inflation (Anderson et al., 2010, p. 502).
A common good is defined by the fact that it is beneficial for a whole society, not just for a certain individual, as in the case of private propriety (Lee, 2015). The common good is based on the belief that certain goods (as security) can be obtained only collectively and through political means. If in a society formed of a multitude of individuals we would have only private propriety, in time the economic power would concentrate in the hands of a few and the life of the many would be unbearable. Let’s just think to a poor individual which would not have the power to buy for itself a propriety, or would not even be capable to move freely in the world because the freedom of movement would imply that he has to pay taxes when crossing the proprieties of others.
In principle the common goods emerge because of the market failures. The problems which occur sometimes in individually administrating the private propriety determined their apparition. For example, farmers who raised cattle on their properties realized rather quickly the advantages of common pastures. In the same way there are a multitude of historical examples of how individuals associated into state entities to obtain security for them and their
A successful economy is perhaps the most key ingredient leading to a successful nation. An economy is a delicate balance of many different conflicting and coexisting elements. Naturally, an economy’s success can often be measured by the amount of wealth it contains, not to mention the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of its distribution of the wealth. Effective distribution of wealth is no easy feat. Wealthy and poor people will always need to coexist- this is an inescapable truth. The government’s job in many cases becomes that of a referee. Naturally, perfect peace and harmony between two totally different classes would be a utopia, and probably will never be completely achieved. A government must, therefore,

Over the past two weeks I have researched various scholarly journal entries and various articles. I was able to find ways for SHLD to increase their bargaining power. This includes introducing additional private labeled products. SHLD already provides private label products, but allowing additional private labeled products can yield higher profit margins. Furthermore, I researched both the importance of an accurate mission statement and the benefits of surveying clientele. After researching how effective a mission statement can be towards an organization, I began to focus on how to modify SHLD’s mission statement. The modification will keep SHLD on a path to success
When the Federal government has to find ways to regain any money lost they lean on the expansionary Fiscal policy and the monetary policy to regain money into the economy. Whether, a change in taxes or even government spending. Even to the three major tools of the expansionary monetary policy to focus on. In the first part of this paper, I will discuss the expansionary fiscal policy and how the Federal government was involved and the changes that needed to be made to taxes, government spending. The second part of this paper, I will discuss the monetary policy and the tools the Federal Reserve used when under this policy. The expansionary fiscal policy was out to kick start the economy, and the expansionary monetary policy was out to change interest rate, and influence money supply. When discussing these two policies you have to think about one aspect when will it ever stop? Will a policy always have to be part of the economy to help the government one way or another?
1) If a firm in a purely competitive industry is confronted with an equilibrium price of $5, its marginal revenue:
The federal government responded to the crisis that affected businesses and Industries many ways. The Federal Reserve has been most successful in its double full-employment, low inflation mandate when it relies on fixed rules, and keenly looks on the intermediate term rather than trying to respond to short-term developments under political pressure. A number of policies were resolved to react on the emphasis of intermediate term stability on the handling of the
The financial crisis that happened during 2007-09 was considered the worst financial crisis in the world since the great depression in the 1930s. It leads to a series of banking failures and also prolonged recession, which have affected millions of Americans and paralyzed the whole financial system. Although it was happened a long time ago, the side effects are still having implications for the economy now. This has become an enormously common topic among economists, hence it plays an extremely important role in the economy. There are many questions that were asked about the financial crisis, one of the most common question that dragged attention was ’’How did the government (Federal Reserve) contributed to the financial crisis?’’
This begins with the principle of collective ownership of the Earth. This idea posits that all people, as inhabitants of the Earth, have an inherent right to a share of its resources. Why does any one individual have any more right to any of the Earth’s resources than another? The answer is that they don’t. In order to answer the question differently, one would have to distinguish a criterion by which to judge an individual’s right to their inheritance of the Earth, something that most would likely find intrinsically objectionable. Now, rather than dividing up resources collectively, private ownership is a more efficient way of allocating resources. The free market then determines what resources should be produced and in what quantity. However, once all of the property of the Earth has been claimed, there is no longer any way for new individuals to share the collective inheritance of the Earth. Therefore, it makes sense to repay those individuals with no land or oil or fishery by collecting some of what they would have otherwise received in a just order and distributing
After the global financial crisis, the economies of many countries were stagnant, some companies closed down, many people lost their jobs, and governments needed to spend much money to help these companies and unemployed people which caused large government debts, the banks also faced to bankrupt. All of these problems caused the governments wish the monetary policy can provide the solutions to recover the economy. The primary goal of monetary policy is to keep price stability which is very important for central banks, it could help central banks make the monetary policy process is apolitical and get

1. The Fed should direct the monetary policy of the U.S. In doing so it will, “promote employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.” In order to achieve such requests the Fed will have to change the
Fiscal and monetary policies focus on quickly returning the economy to sustainable, healthy growth. Any type of fiscal relief package will boost consumer and business spending and can augment the nation's long-term growth potential. Expansionary monetary policy can stimulate growth and provide insurance against the possibility of deflation. This paper will present information on four topics: (1) tools used by the Federal Reserve to control the money supply, (2) how these tools influence the money supply and in turn affect macroeconomic factors? (3) how money is created? (4) recommended monetary policy combinations that best achieve a balance between economic growth, low inflation, and a reasonable
This gathering of governor was joined by leading academics, thought leaders, and commentators on monetary policy. The world of modern central banking and global finance had now entered a new phase of even more obvious artificiality and distortions. According to the author, Mohamed. El-Erian, “Ones whose skillful management of the price and quantity of money in an economy was key to containing inflation, promoting economic growth, and avoiding financial crises.” Since the global financial crisis of 2008, central bank has ventured, by necessity but not by the choice. They set the interest rates higher. For an unusually prolonged period, the central bank was bold policy experimentation. During that time, many of the economists thought that central banks had been forced to operate, and many of them wondered about it consequences. From the beginning of the financial crisis, there was the hope that courageous and responsive central banks would succeed in handing off the baton to high growth, robust job creation, price stability, and financial system. The world was in the process of grow out of its debts problems avoiding the debt defaults because the policy making entities were finally in the economic governance responsibilities and with the job returning and economic prosperity. The world changed in two important ways: one had to do with the analytics of central banking,
Analysis of The Logic of Collective Action Public Goods and The Theory of Groups by Mancur Olson
In times of financial troubles, individuals as well as groups are known to do some fairly off the wall things in order to ensure that they remain financially solvent. When looking at larger scale financial problems, such as those experienced during recent recessionary trends, it is not just individuals and organizations that do unexpected things, but governments as well. One such action that was taken both by the United States government and others abroad during the financial crisis of the new millennium was that of quantitative easing. As a theory, quantitative easing has had both heavy praise and scorn from different scholarly backers and while there are questions as to its overall effectiveness, the recent use shows that there is some truth to its principles. By analyzing the theory of quantitative easing as well as its positive and negative effects, both theoretical and realized in the real-world, it is possible to understand why governments recently used this technique.
