Concentrated Economic Power Makes It Difficult For
Ordinary Citizens To Exert Control Over Their Lives :
3 pages in length. With a very small portion of the population
controlling the majority of the concentrated economic
power, it is no wonder that ordinary citizens find it
exceedingly difficult to exert control over their lives.
Money does, indeed, make the world go around; without its
influential benefit, a preponderance of the population
continues to find themselves pawns to those who flaunt its
power. The writer discusses how, in a world that thrives
upon conspicuous consumption, it is becoming more and
more difficult for the masses to keep up. No additional

An 8 page paper discussing the 1998 disappearance
of the federal budget deficit and the possibility of
linking government spending to growth of GDP.
Linking government spending to GDP would result in total
chaos within the government and in all of the programs on
which it manages to spend so much. While it is true that
government spending increases have trailed increases in
tax revenues based on constant or lower tax rates, there is
never a guarantee those revenue increases will continue.
So far, economists have not been able to agree even on the
reasons for the long period of economic growth, much less
how to ensure its continuation. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

long that some mainstream economists claimed the standard
model of the business cycle was obsolete, a statement made

worldwide recession of the early 1970s. Bibliography lists 9

Inflationary Tendencies in Economics : This 7 page
report
discusses fundamental inflationary tendencies that influence
virtually all aspects of economic theory and practice.
Although economic forecasts have proved less that totally
reliable throughout the past decade and have even been

relatively accurate since inflationary tendencies typically
