After World War II, the United States was the world’s dominant economic power. We’re still the largest economy, but the rest of the world has caught up significantly. In some areas, we’ve lost the lead. The production of consumer electronic equipment, for example, is largely done in the Far East. Is this trend good or bad for Americans? Explain.

The economies of many nations around the globe have been brought on their knees by COVID-19.

Which aspects of capitalism do you personally appreciate? Which do you find worrisome? What are some of the effects the United States economic system has on society as a whole? Explain.
I feel that the strongest moral consideration in favor of capitalism would be the freedom to pursue a business for private ownership or have private ownership of your own business by building it from the ground up. If you want to start your own business, you can do that. If you are interested in a specific job, you can figure out a plan to get yourself educated in that field, prove your worth through applying and interviewing, and you can eventually find yourself in that dream position through persistence and hard work.

With the freedom of conducting business, upper management has the ability to control wages the way they feel necessary, which means the…

What attribute of capitalism will eventually lead to its collapse as claimed by Marx? How did this attribute lead to the downfall of this economic system?
Socialists are fond of saying that socialism has never failed because it has never been tried. But in truth, socialism has failed in every country in which it has been tried, from the Soviet Union beginning a century ago to three modern countries that tried but ultimately rejected socialism—Israel, India, and the United Kingdom. While there were major political differences between the totalitarian rule of the Soviets and the democratic politics of Israel, India, and the U.K., all three of the latter countries adhered to socialist principles, nationalizing their major industries and placing economic decisionmaking in the hands of the government. The Soviet failure has been well documented by historians. In 1985, General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev took command of a bankrupt disintegrating empire. After 70 years of Marxism, Soviet farms were unable to feed the people, factories failed to meet their quotas, people lined up for blocks in Moscow and other cities to buy bread and other…
