- In your own words, explain the concept of the “invisible hand” as it relates to economic theory. Why is it that an entrepreneur with seemingly selfish motives can create benefits for the larger society? Why is this a benefit that arises from capitalism and not from other economic systems?popular refrain about the North Korean economy is that it is reverting to a command-andcontrol economy in the face of sanctions and pandemic isolation. An example is a Washington Post article from February, which claimed Kim Jong Un “turned his back on even modest economic and market reforms and reverted back to de facto Leninism, emphasizing central planning while trying to clamp down on the private entrepreneurial activity.” This claim reflects a misunderstanding of its current economic policy. Actually, Kim Jong Un’s economic reforms emphasizing markets and competition are continuing.Kim’s major change in North Korea’s economic policy was to encourage competition. Previously, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) production unit was responsible for only executing the production targets required by the country. Through a constitutional amendment in 2019, North Korea abolished the “Taean [alternative] Work System,” the doctrine of economic management of business in the…Are there any reasons why Smith's model of capitalism might not be a successful argument in favor of the free-market system? Explain.
- Capitalism is defined as an economic system in which a country's trade, industry and profits are controlled by private owners or companies, rather than by the state. Do you agree Capitalism is the best economic system which will ensure justice and fairness for citizens? Provide your explanation.Smith and Marx have schematized the phases of development in the course of history. Discuss why they did this, while Ricardo concentrated on the problems of capitalism of his day.The economies of many nations around the globe have been brought on their knees by COVID-19. Just when countries are on the path of recovery from the economic devastation caused by COVID-19, Russia invaded Ukraine which had worsened the economic outlook of the entire world. The nation Ghana as well as firms have not escaped the impact of the terrible events in Ukraine. Rising expenditure, dwindling revenue levels, increasing debt levels coupled with worsening macroeconomic indicators had led to the downgrading of the Ghanaian economy which has affected the ability of the country to go for external debt. In order, to deal with current challenges, the government in a process characterised by controversies passed the Electronic Transfer Levy Act 2022 popularly called E-levy. As the Finance Director of your company, you have been tasked to present a proposal to the Board of Directors on how your company will navigate the turbulent terrain of the Ghanaian economy.

What do you think are some of the trade-offs between a more rigorous, logically cohesive model with strong assumptions but clear inferences and a description of problems followed by a verbal discussion of possible implications? The o-ring and big push models are based on which of these approaches?The term "creative destruction" means: Group of answer choices We should not have moved into our modern life style using cars and buses, and tractors to plough the land, because this has destroyed the better quality life we could have had without cars, buses and tractors. Capitalism is inevitably destructive. Human nature is unavoidably both creative and destructive, and most often we combine the two in our every day life. In order to advance to newer, better, products, we have to discard our old products and move away from less efficient ways of production.
- “Dependency Theory belongs to a school of thinking that is not isolated from world events but took shape immediately after Latin American disappointment that the commercial benefits guaranteed by neoclassical theory failed to eventuate. Todaro (2000, p. 91) believed that, according to international dependence patterns, Third World countries are basically under the rule of the politics, institutions, and the economy of the developed countries themselves or of other countries of the world that are controlled by dominant wealthy countries” – critically explain how and why dependency theory emerged and also explain the importance of world system theory in the field of international and strategic relations?how does mercantilism be considered as a system and how viable is such a system. Also what are some of the essential ideas/assumptions of the classical and neo-classical economic schools relating to international trade. What are the agenda/topics of The World Economic Forum unfolding at Davos Switzerland pertaining to economic and international economic issues.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. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you want to do. All of the pressure is on you to create the future you ideally want through the choices you make in the current market. I feel the strongest objection to capitalism is oftentimes the large majority of the profits go to the higher-up executives in many large companies. With the freedom of conducting business, upper management has the ability to control wages the way they feel necessary, which means the…
