... to one of huge factories and large, efficient farms. In theory, industrialization would increase the number and hence the strength of the proletariat as a class, thwart an already staunchly anticommunist world, and fulfill Marx's promise of material wealth following the revolution. The idea of industrialization as the means to true socialism never occurred to Lenin. He assumed, at least initially, that communism could would and should exist in the pre revolutionary way of life. Before Stalin came to power, the communist party for the most part agreed that industrialization was necessary, however different sects of the Bolsheviks were in disagreement about ...

... difference in Canada's unemployment rate can be attributed mostly to the safety net which the government provides, including generous payments of unemployment insurance and other social services; but also to the high payroll taxes; and the under performing Canadian economy. There is no single reason for the persistent gap in the unemployment rates of Canada and the U.S., but rather a combination of the above factors. "No society can be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." (Adam Smith) This is the theory behind the creation of social services such as unemployment insurance and welfare payments in man ...

... in the United States with the worst form of poverty being homelessness. First "homeless" should be defined for a clear understanding of what society considers "homeless."

... commerce via the canal soon made New York City the chief port of the Atlantic. The growing urban population and the contruction of canals, railroads and factories stimulated the demand for raw materials and food stuffs. In 1836 four-fifths of the tonnage over the Erie Canal came from western New York (North, 105). Much of this cargo was in the form of agriculture goods. The farmer become a shrewed businessaman of sorts as he tended to produce whatever products would leave him the greatest profit margin. The rise of the dairy industry was by far the most significant development in the agricultural history of the state between 1825 and 1860. Farmers disco ...

... to attack was the lack of sales in Canada and Coca-Cola's goals in improving them. Being native of Canada and a big Coke fan, I know that Coke has struggled in my homeland for several years. M. Douglas Ivester answered my concern by stating that Coke allowed the retail prices of their products to out pace their value in the eyes of our consumers. Since 1994-1995, Canada's unit per case volume increased 4%. Coke is expecting an even greater increase in 1996 because their Canadian bottler signed with two major grocery retailers. Coca-Cola used Canada as a lesson they can use as a guide worldwide never repeat. CEO, Robert Goizueta believes that there is no limi ...

... movement in goods, services, and assets, a monetary system most importantly requires an efficient balance of payments adjustment mechanism so that deficits and surpluses are not prolonged but are eliminated with relative ease in a reasonably short time period. The Asian crisis of recent falls into this category of inefficient balance of payments facilitated by depreciation of its currency. By competitively depreciating its currencies, Asia is exporting its deflation, its overcapacity and its lack of growth to the West, particularly to the US. History The past ten or fifteen years have seen an unprecedented expansion in the extent to which the countries of the ...

Goals of catching up with technology of the West was thought of achieving most.2 It was their main concern to do so and because of their efforts Japan in the first couple decades have soared in economic growth. Then comes to education. In every case a country's reform must be done by people of intelligence. In Japan's case their is no lack of brilliant reforms. Japan had an ever growing education level. It influences Japanese society tremendously. It will reach a point in time were almost all high school graduates will attend college. As a result there will be an enormous amount of skilled ...

... its economy to full competition with the other two countries. If successful, the agreement promised to make the whole North American continent into one economic zone and set an important precedent for trade and economic cooperation between the wealthy countries of the North and less developed countries of the South. The challenge before them was both exciting and daunting. A little more than a year later, the three trade ministers met again in Washington, to put the finishing touches on a new North American Free Trade Agreement. In just over a year the negotiators from the three countries had successfully met the challenge and put together a new trading frame ...

... overall expenditure; a budget reporting system that produces reliable, comprehensible, transparent, and timely data; and the use of project appraisal techniques where appropriate. These activities must be financed by a tax system that does not impede growth. While most taxes are distorting and entail some loss of welfare, a growth-promoting tax system is one that exercises the least distorting effects on work effort and the quantity and allocation of investment and saving, minimizes reliance on scarce administrative resources and demands on taxpayers' compliance. The Armey-Shelby flat tax is a proposal that would replace the corporation and personal income. The Ar ...

... from top to bottom, his distinctive innovation in movement of American industry was horizontal. This meant he followed one product through all its stages. For example, rockrfeller controlled the oil when it was drilled, through the refining stage, and he maintained control over the refining process turning it into gasoline. Although these two powerful men used two different methods of management their businesses were still very successful (Conlin, 425-426). Tycoons like Andrew Carnegie, "the steel king," and John D. Rockefeller, "the oil baron," exercised their genius in devising ways to circument competition. Although, Carnegie inclined to be tough- ...
