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.

Economic Development in the United States 1790 – 1840
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper examining the goals of the founding fathers in 1790 and the effects that had been realized by the early 19th century. President Ronald Reagan was roundly criticized for his "trickle down" comment in announcing his economic reform plan in the early 1980s, but it was little more than a modern application of the plan that Alexander Hamilton created more than 200 years earlier. It was Hamilton's immediate purpose to put into place economic policy that could ensure preservation of the Union only past its growing pains, but his creativity contributed to preservation of the Union in its most trying period as well.

Economic Policies: George W. Bush And Al Gore
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered perhaps the most important concerns in any presidential candidate's political platform is that which addresses economic policy; indeed, this is certainly the case with regard to the current stance between George W. Bush and Al Gore's candidacies. It can readily be argued that while studying each man's stance on economic policy, there exists a combination of similarities as well as great disparities -- an expected occurrence when issues such as these remain in the campaign's political forefront. The writer discusses that with Bush successfully appeasing his loyal followers and Gore effectively accommodating his, as well, the two presidential candidates believe that their own individual perceptions of economic policy are both exact and correct for continuing forward with the country's prosperous future.

Economic Policy of Three Presidents, 1989-2003
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the economic policies of Presidents George H. Bush (1989-93), William J. Clinton (1993-2001), and George W. Bush (2001-present). Five tables list Dow Jones and S&P 500 averages; interest rates, unemployment rates and personal income for each year. Thankfully, the three presidents of 1989-2003 could see the value of maintaining a largely hands-off policy regarding the economy. George Bush Senior preserved Reagan’s changes so that they could have full effect; Clinton instituted NAFTA and Welfare-to-Work, easing existing pressures. To date, it appears that George W. Bush has no domestic economic policy, but the lessons of the past indicate that too little action is much to be preferred over too much, too late. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Economies of India and China
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper. The world's two most populous countries have been undergoing immense change over the past two decades. Each has become the focus of many of the world's multinational organizations, and each has come to play important roles in the shift of labor in developed nations. India and China economically were fairly equal in years past, but such is no longer the case. China's growth resulting from international involvement began earlier and has grown faster than India's, but that is not the only source of the economic divergence between the two countries. China has pulled in front of India, and it appears that the gulf between them will only widen in the near future. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

European Union: Relative Positions of Ireland and Great Britain
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the EU; historical economic differences between
Ireland and Britain; and how those differences have influenced current positions. The
single market still is a long way from reality in Europe, but the very promise of it
becoming reality affects both member and non-member nations. The promise of the single
market and EU membership forced nations to become fiscally responsible and
business-oriented. Ireland had not been; Britain's entire economy already was based on
such an approach. These historical concepts can explain each nation's success despite
their divergent views on EU membership. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
