David Ricardo: Contribution To The Development Of Economic Theory And Contemporary Thought
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. David Ricardo, born in 1772 and third of seventeen children, espoused two economic theories that helped to form the fundamental basis of contemporary economic thought. Indeed, his Distribution Theory and International Trade Theory provided a substructure upon which future economists could base their subsequent theories, giving rise to the troubling potential of capitalism and class status. His close friend and fellow economist Thomas Malthus helped Ricardo to hone in on a particular sector of economic considerations that has held its value throughout the past three centuries.

Deregulation and the Glass-Steagall Act
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper which discusses the current conditions and controversies concerning the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 as it relates to issues of financial institutes and issues of deregulation. The history of the act is presented in helping to establish the reasoning behind the action. This is followed by a brief illustration of what has taken place in relationship to the act, in the past few decades. The majority of the paper addresses conditions and concerns since the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act which took place last year. Overall, while the act of 1933 was never truly considered sufficient, it did maintain some control over banking regulations. With the growth in technology and such it became necessary to finally get rid of the act, but by doing so we have a great deal of issues to address if the future of financial institutions is to be secure and profitable.

Dilemmas of the High-Tech Labor Market
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the problems organizations face in filling their high tech labor needs. Unemployment in the late 1990s has reached its lowest point in 28 years.

Most organizations have Year 2000 concerns, but hiring for that reason represents only a small portion of current openings. Instead, more than half of all high tech openings have resulted from company growth, and more than half of those are in applications programming. The face of corporate operation is in flux and moving toward greater electronic dependency; corporate America has all it can do to keep up. Two charts. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Economic Compared to Human Well-Being and Growth -- Views of Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the ways that three of the world’s great philosophers have defined the meaning of both economic growth and well-being. Both Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas were deeply interested in human nature. Aristotle, of course, developed his thinking from the philosophical viewpoint and the means by which human nature is responsible for an individual’s actions, beliefs, and state of being. Plato’s views were related more to a realm in which philosophy meant the pursuit of the wisdom that allows a man to truly assess the value of all things which humans desire.
