.... does little to change the economy, and, the control is given to the people with the money, or, rather, the people with the businesses. The main people in such an economy are usually the consumers, the producers, the owners of private property, and, the government. These are the people with the power. The whole system revolves around private gain rather than the interests of everyone in a community. Since the rich are in control of the economy, their decisions result in the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. This is a perfect example of what I m .....

.... Adam Smith, both a philosopher and an economist. Born on 1723 in Kirkcaldy, Fife, he studied at Oxford, and became a professor of logic at Glasgow (1751), but took up the chair of moral philosophy the following year. In 1776, he moved to London, where he published An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), the first major work of political economy.

.... and will continue to change the way we live and do business forever. This is already creating a paperless environment, we have less need to have printed out resources when we can just store these things on a computer and have almost instant access to them. Gates and his partner, Paul Allen, together they were pioneers in developing the personal computer. In 1975 they together created a version of BASIC for the Altair 8800, the first minicomputer kit.

.... tools . The technology developed for military manufacturing then spilled over into the civilian sector of the economy. And because it was now a tested technology investors who were normally cautious were willing to put their capital into these ventures which instead of pouring iron to make guns now made iron ore into stoves and pots.

.... its funds, yet continued to lend Zaire money. Why, we don't know. Mobutu used most of this money to buy lavish estates in France and to establish huge secret bank accounts in Switzerland, Luxembourg and elsewhere. He also kept himself in power through bribes and by buying military support. The US alone has spent over twenty billion dollars in the past twenty years. Between surplus tax dollars and the money we would save from not paying foreign aid, we could pay back the national debt in a very short time. We can accomplish this exponentially, by other countrie .....

.... to farmers. Farmers weren't doing to well because they were producing more crops and farm products than could be sold at high prices. Therefore, they made a very small profit. This insufficient profit wouldn't allow the farmers to purchase new machinery and because of this they couldn't produce goods quick enough (Drewry and O'connor 559). A new plan was created called the installment plan. This plan was established because many Americans didn't have enough money to buy goods and services that were needed or wanted. The installment plan stated that peo .....
