Causes of the Great Depression
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper answering 8 questions about the origins of the Great Depression and whether the same events could happen today. Some questions ask for the writer's opinion, and that is reflected consistently in the message that we need less government, not more. The paper recommends that the salvation of Social Security could be that Congress is prevented from skimming off surpluses that should remain in the fund, while simultaneously implementing a different system based on the example of Singapore's Provident Fund in which individuals are required to contribute to accounts that they have responsibility for managing.

Comparison of Economic Development of Great Britain and Other European Nations
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing both the common and distinguishing characteristics of Europe's early and later industrializing nations, using the world's first, Great Britain, as the primary point of comparison. Between the early and late industrializers, the only discernible "gray" area is that of the distinction between the end of the early industrializers period and the beginning of the latecomers. Germany is included with the early industrializers but the latecomers category begins with Switzerland. While there are some characteristics the two nations shared, there are others that did indeed separate them, not the least of which was sustainability. Distinctions among other early and later industrializers is much clearer. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Such has been the case in both early-industrialized Germany and Switzerland. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
