Market failure Market failure is the disequilibrium caused by inefficient and unequal distribution of goods and services in a free market that results in market distortion. Market failure happens when the demand for goods and services in an economy is higher than the quantity of goods and services produced. Market distortions in a free market include government regulations, monopoly power, and minimum wage requirements. Externality causes market failure and occurs when actions of an individual affect the well-being of another person yet the market prices do not reflect the benefits or costs. Positive externalities occur when a service paid by an individual benefit another while negative externalities occur when the actions of an individual harm other people. Another cause of market failure is the continued consumption of public goods by a percentage of the population who do not pay for public goods.

The third cause of market failure is market control by sellers and buyers who prevent the forces…

Creation of the electoral College The Electoral College is a means of indirectly appointing the President in the United States. It offers a check on direct election by the citizens if they might have got it wrong. It is a form of the elite theory of ensuring that direct elections did not produce a poor candidate for the highest office in the State, in case the direction shared the vote and the incapable candidate is selected by popular vote. How and When it was Created The founding fathers of the United States generated the Electoral College out of the twelfth amendment in 1787. Prior to the formulation of the Electoral College, there were numerous debates such as the possibilities of congress electing the president or using the popular vote to automatically pick the president (Kimberling, 1992). Unfortunately, all these ideas were overlooked as a result of fear for too much government involvement as well as a lack of civic education among the citizens to make the right decision. Thus, the committee suggested that the president be elected indirectly by the…

The coronavirus pandemic The growing trend of expert outlook predicts that the coronavirus will lower the forces of globalization, with tributes being written for its imminent death. As suggested, the pandemic will be the final stubble in the long chain of actions that have been smashed the thrust of global integration, including the China-U.S. trade war, and monetary nationalism in different sections of the world. As businesses and strategy makers change the emphasis from economic competence to resilience and compliance, the process of restoring production is anticipated to hasten, quickening the end of global integration. Also, the trend of global integration is expected to diverge among services and businesses. Trade-in services have augmented at a faster rate compared to manufactured products in the period after 2000. However, services trade decreased at a high rate compared to trade in manufactured goods throughout the Great Recession. This rising movement I services is likely to endure in the post-COVID-19 world, possibly reimbursing for some of the losses in the value chain in integration in development. Once the dreadful of the pandemic is with…

People in prisons The primary goal of prisons is to make certain that the rules of society are enforced by implementing rehabilitative and punitive processes. The prisons are tasked with the responsibility of preserving the safety of the general population as they pick the effective punitive sentences to various offenders (Burkhardt, & Jones, 2016). Nonetheless, the process of rehabilitation of offenders is a crucial outcome that is entrusted to the prisons with a primary goal of reducing the rates of recidivism which is high and the offenders turning into law-abiding citizens. When it comes to the private and the public prisons, an important aspect of both is ignored which is the prisoners.

Human relations in management The era of human relations in management changed how managers viewed employee motivation. The Hawthorne study ushered in this era of management. The study aimed at determining the effects of different levels of light on employee productivity. The study was facilitated by a group of engineers from the Hawthorne Electric plan. The researchers thought that brighter light would translate to increased employee productivity. However, the results found showed an increase in productivity regardless of the level of brightness. Later in 1927, the researcher experimented on the length of working hours, redesigning jobs, length of workers break time and the plan for incentives. The finding of this research indicated that workers’ productivity was affected by employee attitude towards work. Workers are motivated when they are given special attention. Also, workers are more motivated when supervisors allowed workers to have some level of control over their situations. This improved the attitude of the employee and as a result, their productivity increased. For example, Mayo was lead these experiments in 1927, found that a group of individuals who were…
