Pros And Cons Of Communism
Communism is an economic and political system based on a single– party government ruled by a dictatorship. Communism will put an end to private
property, substituting government ownership to factories, railroads, and other businesses. Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a
country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Many feared that the loyalty of these American
communists was to the Soviet union. Also, they feared that communism would spread around the world. The overall threat was not against the United
States but to society and the capitalist nation.
Communism was founded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It spread during the Red Scare as the cold war began ... Show more content on

In a communist form of government, there is just little room for you to have ambitions. The lack of industrial growth would actually end up creating an
employment problem. In communism, there are no free media, and the rulers or the government are omnipresent and omnipotent. The state would
intervene in almost everything, which stifles the freedom of the citizens.
Communism posed a threat to the capitalist nation. The Capitalist will open up a lot of opportunities for everyone. It promotes for equality but you
have to work hard for what you want to be in life. Capitalism results in a decentralized economic system. A decentralized economic system is
considered as one of the greatest advantages of capitalism. In this kind of economy, people are more open to lots more options in business. Also, The
government doesn't intervene when it comes to the pricing of goods or in its production for private firms. The prices that are set depend on demand
and supply.

The Marxist Theory Is The Political And Economic Theories...
The Marxist theory is the political and economic theories originated by German theorists: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marx was born in
Germany in 1818 and studied philosophy and law. He was among many the most important authors of sociology and was best known as the "father of
Marxism" (McIntyre, 21). Along with Friedrich Engels, he wrote and published The Communist Manifesto. This document helped shape the
revolutions that reconstructed much of the world with over the course of the next century. According to Marx the most important thing about society
is the way a society is organized to produce goods and services, also known as mode of production. The relationships among people and people's
relationships to the forces of production are how decisions were made about what to do with the outcomes. The Marxist theory recognizes several
typical modes of production and characteristics of different periods in our past history (McIntyre, pg28) These modes of production includes: "Primitive
communism" which had no categorized social class structures or capital growth, "Asiatic mode" which is allegedly the original form of society where
small groups removes social additions through violence directed at settled or unsettled band groups within a domain. "Ancient mode" is when property
is the control of the individual, the forces of production connected with this mode is the widespread use of animals in agriculture, and advanced trade

The Relationship Between Capitalism And Democracy
The relationship between capitalism and democracy has been defined by many as fundamental complementary ideologies, and social scientists have
discovered an undeniable link between the two structures with some suggesting that "where either capitalism or democracy flourishes, the other must
soon follow" (Reich, 2007). Currently, the main form of modern democracy is polyarchal democracy which originated from the Greek word polyarkhe,
meaning 'many rule'. This infers that multiple people within a government system possess political power, making it neither a dictatorship nor a pure
democracy ruled by the people. The relationship between these two complementary yet conflicting social structures have led some to believe that there
are in fact enemies rather than corresponding entities due to the selfish and competitive nature of capitalism negatively affecting a democracy's notion
of equality.
Joseph Schumpeter however, proposed in 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy' that democracy may function just as effectively under socialism
rather than drawing the conclusion that democracy is only generated under the conditions of capitalism. Other social scientists like Rueschemeyer,
Stephens and Stephens (1992) believe that "democracy arises due to its functional fit with the advanced industrial economy", which provides an

Essay on Capitalism: Karl Marx vs Adam Smith
Marx v. Smith on Capitalism
Capitalism, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, is "the means in which production are privately owned and production is guided and income is
disputed largely through the operation of markets". Capitalism saw the emergence after the feudal system of Western Europe can do a halt. Many
economists, even today, dispute the simple beginnings of capitalism. Some theories range from religious reasons, such as the rise of Protestant
Reformation in the 1500s, to the enclosure movement in England. How capitalism differs from the feudal system that preceded it is fairly simple.

At an almost fundamental level Adam Smith believes that it is the power of the individual to determine his own success whereas Karl Marx would argue
that it is those who were already wealthy to begin with that were able to make money and a capitalist system because they originally acquired
capital. The overall theme for Adam Smith was that capitalism benefited everyone that was involved. His invisible hand idea meant that goods
and services were automatically allocated to those who needed them most and us was efficient enough to run on its own. Karl Marx did not see it
this way. He saw the ability of the capitalist to exploit his own workers for profit and for him everyone did not benefit because there were winners
and losers. It is wiser to say that Karl Marx had a more developed view of capitalism than Adam Smith. He had the ability to see the progression of
capitalism passed Adam Smith. On top of that, his work is much more developed as it takes into account theories that compete with his own. Adam
Smith comes off in a mere philosophical way describing capitalism from the ivory tower that he sat in.

The Economic System Of Capitalism
The Industrial Revolution in Western Europe provided the context for economists and political writers of the nineteenth century to promote three
different economic plans designed to meet the needs of workers and entrepreneurs. Capitalism was first proposed by Adam Smith as a reform plan for
the existing economic system of mercantilism. The major tenets of capitalism included: free enterprise, competition at every level, and private
property. Although there were many advantages including new inventions and rewarding excellence there were also disadvantages including how
harsh people were treated where they worked and people making up others privileges. The economic system of capitalism was implemented in India
with the British East India Company during the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. It was unsuccessful because it became corrupt, abusive of workers,
and was ultimately replaced because of revolts. The economic system of capitalism did not address the needs of both entrepreneurs and workers
because the workers didn't ask to be abused like they were and the entrepreneurs sort of did because they got to run their business how they wanted to.

Question #5: The Growth and dominance of Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution transformed the world. Explain the different positions and
outlooks on capitalism and the Industrial Revolution taken by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels.
The growth, influence, and power of the world surrounds itself around capitalism and the Industrial Revolution. Capitalism is best described as the
economic and political system where different countries trade. It is the economic market of the world in which it provides the needs and demands for
supplies; opposed to the industrial revolution where that refers to the transformation of technology.
As discussed in class, the late 1400s were where many economic conducts were controlled by families, religion, tradition and political authority rather
than by markets. The manufacturing of goods was done using hand tools and machines in the comfort of households and in small farms. Particularly
on farms, workers were required to perform hard labor, making the life of the average person emphatically difficult as results were diseases and
malnourishment. In essence, the Industrial Revolution played a major role with the economic market. As the economy improved, longer work days for
workers were given since the demand for supplies became increased.

The Role Of Capitalism In Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
This was one of the most important quotes from The Jungle, as it explained the capitalist system as a system of oppression. The capitalist system
here was describes as a system that not just puts people in bad working conditions and corrupts the government, but a system that puts the working in
a form of slavery. Sinclair had intended to raise awareness of the negative capitalistic system and it problems, and to inspire reforms and change. He
was successful as this book became one of the greatest books in American history. Sinclair's wanted to paint a picture of the ills ofcapitalism for his
readers, and he did that. He gave direct examples of the problems for the reader to know, and wrote the book not as a book of just facts but as a
novel. The novel made the problems of capitalism a more personal issue, and a humanitarian emergency. As I read the book and got to know the

Trainspotting Analysis
Abandon all Hope: Impotence and Fragmented Communities in Last Exit to Brooklyn and Trainspotting The late capitalist novel has become an area
of interest to authors, critics and readers alike. Novels such as Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and the novels of
J.G. Ballard, all gained notoriety as novels that commented on the effects of globalization, hyper–consumerism and hyper–individualism. However,
these novels tend to focus on the upper and middle classes and do not comment on the effects that globalization and deindustrialization had on the
working class. The much understudied Last Exit to Brooklyn (LETB) by Hubert Selby Jr. (1964) and Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh (1993), however
do just that. The novels – although set almost 30 years and an ocean apart – share many commonalities, and with Welsh's introduction to the LETB
2011 edition, it is surprising that no one has studied the two novels together. Perhaps this is because LETB has often been studied within the context of
religion, violent sexuality and naturalism. While these are all valid contexts of studying the novel I would like to take a different approach by analyzing
it together with Trainspotting. The novels have many similar themes, ideas and styles and it seems important to read them side by side because they
both convey the conditions and effects of late capitalism and neoliberalism on the working class, and show what happens 'when the working class stops

Culture Of The World : Tasman And Cook 's Explorations
1: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum tells us much about the experience of modernity in the late sixteenth century. It demonstrates how those individuals at the
time – who would consider themselves to be at the cutting edge of discovery – were documenting the world around them. Along with this expansion of
boundaries came the expansion of knowledge and understanding; understanding of the nature of the world, its structure and formation, shown by this
map's relative accuracy and fullness. Whilst it is not perfect in its execution – Japan and the Americas are misshapen and Oceania has been
incorporated into Antarctica – this map is the most accurate that had been produced at the time, and produced a respectable image of the world. This
urge – to understand – is further evidenced by the fact that explorers continued to venture across the world: Tasman and Cook's explorations revealing
the continent of Oceania, and further expanding our knowledge of the world. According to Subrahmanyam, "the early modern period ... is, in a

Capitalism Vs. Socialism
Capitalism vs. Socialism Capitalism and Socialism have very around a long time since the Industrial Revolution and some of their characteristics still
continue to be in use today in many countries around the world. Capitalism was mainly used in nineteenth century England and created widespread
poverty and many people disagreed with the way Capitalism worked. They thought it created an unfair balance between the rich and the poor and
overall made a widespread class struggle against poverty. Socialism rose up as an economic theory because of all the problems that Capitalism was
having. It was based on the fact that many people wanted to diminish the separation between the rich and poor and make them equal.
Capitalism was the economic system based on money and in which property and the means of production (like factories) were owned by businesses
and separate people. This system functions when people follow their own self interest and beliefs so progress will result. The government doesn't
interfere in the economy because the rules of the market–place benefit everyone. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In socialism they think that the government should own all property and all of the means of production. The government also should be acting to
protect workers since employers often take advantage of them. This system also works so that all goods will be distributed according to each
person's individual needs. It also works by progress results when producers of goods cooperate for the benefit of all without any competition at all. In
the early 19th century socialists believed that the spirit of cooperation could replace the market–place competition of capitalism but late 19th century

While the total amount of economic aid sent to the Soviet Union is unknown, "... it is known that America alone donated 700,000 tons of foodstuff"

Russia would not implement capitalism.
Another example of economic potential wasted by socialism is Venezuela. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on Earth, yet their economy is failing

rates. At one point, it was actually worth less than virtual coins in the game World of Warcraft, and these coins spawn infinitely. If a currency is

Utopian Economy
Over the course of human history, economics has shaped governments and societies. Governments, those ruled by monarchies, used an economic
system based on the concept of feudalism. Once societies rebelled and got rid of monarchies, people looked for an alternative economic system; a
utopian idea which met the needs of a changing world. As economic utopian ideologies emerged from the late 1700s–1900s, governments; such as
capitalism, socialism and communism often came into direct conflict and influenced world politics.
Capitalism was created as a result of the industrial revolution. Karl Marx said that the kings and queens of the old feudal system were now replaced
with factory owners and businessmen, and the old feudal noblemen were replaced by the wealthy businessmen who got more money through factory
production. Bankers now loaned money and investors could accumulate wealth through the profit of factory owners. Stockholders were able to
become owners by buying a share of the company. Workers were also needed in this environment like machine operators and mechanics were needed
for the factory system. Although there were positives to capitalism there are negatives to it too. Factory workers worked long hours with very low pay

Soft-Soaping Empire : Racism And Imperial Advertising
In the article, "Soft–Soaping Empire: Commodity racism and imperial advertising," the author summarizes the symbolistic importance of advertisement
in relation to soap representing a grand scale of Victorian beliefs and values created by consumer capitalism. The marketing strategies to promote soap
were generated from the state of British society with regards to the general outlook on race, class, and gender. Therefore, the propaganda attached to the
advertisement of soap ultimately generated its social and economic significance through commodifying strategies which continue to reflect society to
this day.
During the pivotal moments in British late 19th century colonial imperialism, along with competitive capitalism and the emergence of the urban middle
class, marketing strategies developed aiming to increase retail for different consumer products. At this time, soap went from a "humdrum item and a
washing cursory" to a "Victorian fetishism" in British society as Victorians were consuming 260,000 tons of soap a year (McClintock, 129) Hence,
soap held more symbolic economic and social importance than it previously maintained because of consumer capitalism helping establish its value
through advertisement. For example, in viewing soap through Marx's commodification theory, soap undertook significant values as it was no longer a
humdrum object but rather a conjugated symbol for racial supremacy and domesticity in Pear's advertisement (McClintock, 1995). This symbolism was

This caused them to try another system one they thought would be fair enough for everyone, in which is the idealistic form of Socialism. All major
sectors of the economy are publicly controlled while less–essential sectors are privately owned. Utopians got some of the wealth. Only the "essential"
sectors are controlled. It was an appealing theory because it was a compromise of capitalism and communism. Classless society, no rich, but also
no poor. Everyone was equal so that meant every got what the other person got. So it was a type of scenario in which if this guy get this amount
you do as well, but you couldn't get more than the other guy or therefore it won't be equal anymore. Since Utilitarianism is one of the most
powerful and persuasive approaches they though this will help. Then again, since everyone was equal others got angry at this idea. Therefore a
german philosopher, condemned a new theory, of the Utopian as unrealistic idealism. Karl Marx developed a new system, a more strict society in
which could benefit the people which is the most realistic system called Communism. Karl Marx made a more strict socialism since he disliked
capitalism. Communism is a form of socialism advocated by Karl Marx. All property is publicly owned and operated by the government. The workers

Taking a Look at Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system where goods and services are created for profit using privately owned goods and wage labor. The owners of these
capital goods will employ wage labor to generate commodities with the aim of acquiring a personal profit. The owners, or the designated managers of
these owners, make the majority of the business decisions and receive profit and other property revenue, including rent, interest, and dividends.
Capitalism usually yields significant economic growth and inequality.
Capitalism's foundational manifesto is usually accreditted to be Adam Smith's 1776 book Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,
even though Smith based his work on mostly older concepts. It has in actuality been the dominant economic system in certain places of Europe since
the 1600s. A naturally expansionary system from its earliest years, capitalism has infiltrated into most countries in the world. It has grown very
unevenly; in some places it has been a strong instrument of growth and industrialization–as in the majority of Europe, the United States, and Japan–but
has, on the other hand, left other places of the world struggling financially and underdeveloped.
Wherever capitalism has been implemented thoroughly, it has been and remains to be a powerful system for both positive and negative results.
Globalization, the product of the fast–rising movement of capital all over the world, offers opportunities for large and expanded profits and low–cost

Revisionist Socialism
Revisionist Socialism
What is it?
Revisionist socialism seeks to reform or tame capitalism rather than abolish it. 
It seeks to reconcile socialism with capitalism. It seeks social justice
in the sense of narrowing the economic and social inequalities (to varying degrees) within capitalism through welfare and redistribution. Social
democracy is the most obvious example of revisionist socialism. Revisionists are invariably parliamentary, not revolutionary, socialists.

Beginning in the late 1890s a diverse group of so–called revisionist thinkers increasingly questioned the validity of a number of fundamental Marxist

It seeks to reconcile socialism with capitalism. It seeks social justice in the sense of narrowing the economic and social inequalities (to varying
degrees) within capitalism through welfare and redistribution. The key emergence from this view was the idea of social democracy, which
majority of Scandinavian countries still follow today. One key concept that led to a greater a following for revisionist socialism was that socialist
projects like 'New Harmony' had failed due to lacking in sound economic policy and it only capitalism that in their eyes offered a secure economic
policy. In order to achieve their goals they needed to gain access to the place where economic policy was formed, parliament. Therefore, revisionists
are invariably parliamentary, not revolutionary, socialists. In the example of Bernstein he went on to become a key founding figure in the SDP
(German Social Democratic Party), in which the party campaigned for social democracy and still does today, the idealism of social democracy also
appealed to the German public with the party having 9 of the last 16 prime ministers.
In stark contrast to revisionist socialism is revolutionary socialism which in itself has a number of divides i.e Marxist vs Trotskyist. One common
belief that they all share is that capitalism is wrong and a bad economic policy, in the sense that a few become richer whilst

Second World War As A Turning Point In Economic History
The rise of capitalism was arguably accompanied by one of history's most important developments: the ascent of the imperialist powers of the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. This era is characterized by authority's commanding means of production brought about by the industrial revolution. These
powers maintained a unique economic perspective, one of free markets and trade. This particular focus on laissez–faire economics allowed for the
seemingly infinite development of national economies. Although maintained through the early 20th century this perspective would, to an extent,
juxtapose the policies implemented during World War II. In what is commonly referred to as a meaningful turning point in economic history, the Allies

To this point Appleby argues that communist Russia was not remarkably different from those economies of Great Britain, France, and America. The
control of production was a hallmark of Second World War, this being especially true for those countries physically effected by the destruction namely
Britain and France. Appleby cites government funded and facilitated employment as an example of a departure from previous economic practices.
Although argued by the author as a way to avoid the seizure of domestic production, this practice paved the road for greater government control of the
economy in Allied countries. The United States being a more statistically remarkable example, although physically removed from most of the fighting
the nation flexed its industrial muscles in the form of wartime production. Through government oversight, American companies like General Motors,

`` Hyperesthesia, Or, The Sensual Logic Of Late Capitalism ``
Often times, our senses can trigger memories that are hidden in the crevices throughout our brain. The smell of fresh linen can activate a childhood
memory of playing in the backyard while a parent hangs wet laundry on a clothesline. The taste of gingerbread ice–cream can awaken a memory of
visiting grandma's house. The sight of purple daisies can arouse a memory of attending a wedding decorated with purple daisies. Senses stimulate our
memories because according to cultural anthropologist Constance Classen, "senses themselves may each be linked with different trains of associations"
(Classen 1997: 401). Because of this link, senses and memories have an interwoven relationship. Furthermore, some consumer capitalists have exploited
this interrelationship to profit themselves.
In David Howes' article, "HYPERESTHESIA, or, The Sensual Logic of Late Capitalism," Howes explains how capitalists today are focusing on
multisensory marketing to fully evoke a sensual experience when one walks into a store or passes by a product (Howes 2005: 298) . This way, the
shopper will be more alert and therefore, be more inclined to purchase goods. This phenomenon is known as hyperesthesia, which is the heightened
experience of senses. This experience fully engulfs one's sight, smell, hearing, taste, or touch, which can cause an overwhelming yet unforgettable
sensation. Some critics have viewed this hypersensuality as an excessive notion to seduce consumers into purchasing goods; however others

Postmodernism Or The Cultural Logic Of Late Capitalism...
Fredric Jameson is admired as a standout amongst the most imperative and persuasive artistic and social pundit and theoretician in the Marxist
convention of the English speaking world. In his work "Postmodernism or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" Jameson endeavors to portray the
way of social creation in the second half of the twentieth century, the period of late capitalism, and to recognize it from different manifestations of
social generation of going before capitalist periods. A generous part of Jameson's "Postmodernism or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" is
committed to differential investigation of masterpieces and building design from what Jameson terms "high innovation" and postmodern works. He
describes the postmodern mode of generation as a "social prevailing" in the wake of ideas like "depthlessness" or the concealment of depth, the fading
of influence and pastiche, terms which as per Jameson identify with the postmodern type of production and experience.
The idea of postmodernism quickly raises the issue of periodization, involved by the prefix "post–" doled out to the time of modernism. What was the
starting point of modernism and when did it end? Is it safe to say that it is conceivable to define clear boundaries between modernism and
postmodernism? Jameson accepts that it is conceivable to discuss social modes with in a characterized course of events. In any case, he limits his
periodization of postmodernism to the unbinding idea of social

dominates other economic systems because it allows private owners to own production and distribution. Items that get traded, in markets go to the
owner. Philosopher Adam Smith (1723–1790) proposed the theory and in a matter of centuries flooded all over the world. With freedom of the

Capitalism Vs Capitalism
Considering the way in which people live their lives these days, it can be noted that they are not living a balanced life; if a balanced life is to be
considered as the life which includes both capitalistic involvement and family–time in equal portions . Every average–individual favors a capitalistic
world, and this desire brings many complications which result in unbalanced lifestyles. That is mainly because capitalism requires time dedication
which people willingly dedicate, and this obstructs the gateway to the balanced life. Hence, people are unable to spend an equal amount of time with
their families as they are at their workplace. Families and friends can provide the people with genuine–happiness and a stress–free environment, the two
factors that capitalism fails in providing even if the people, like Adam Gopnik, love the career life they're living. people's minds are soaked with the
idea that capitalism will lead them to success, to living the life they want in the future, so they continue to become an active part of the capitalistic
world. However, although capitalism rewards the people with money, which is the number one concern for many, it fails in rewarding the people with
a balanced lifestyle. Due to the increasing interest in joining the capitalistic life, individuals believe successful capitalists have to be very productive

Modernism And The Cultural Logic Of Late Capitalism
In general, many of the most urgent theories of modernity, and by extension, the aesthetic revolution of modernism, focus on the development of
capitalism and its relation to cultural form. This strain of economic criticism is especially valuable in grasping both the pains and promises of
modernity. Additionally, this strain is an attractive approach because it provides a grounded historical method of periodization
–each stage of capitalism
has a dominant mode of artistic production. Fredric Jameson, in his highly influential Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991),
uses three stages of capitalism–competitive, monopoly, and multinational–to create his own corresponding schema of cultural periodization–realism,
modernism, and postmodernism. However, in "The Existence of Italy" (1992), Jameson relaxes these categories somewhat by positing the existence
of shorter cycles that follow the same trajectory of realism в†’ modernism в†’ postmodernism but occur outside the standard periodization, which is
directly linked to specific capitalist phases. Here, "cycles" is the best description of this phenomenon because it reinforces their relationship to
capitalism; Jameson bases his logic of larger periodization on long cycles of economic development. However, this logic's timeline is closely
correlated to the core countries of capitalism, which has enabled their cultural form to become the standard. Thus, I contend that the conjecture of
shorter cycles can be utilized

Essay on The Rise of Capitalism
In the mid–19th century, a great system of economics, which would change our lives forever, was formed. That system was called capitalism.
Capitalism is an economic system that was created by combining many parts of many other economic systems. Capitalism was based on the idea that
private individuals, and business firms would carry out all factors of production and trade. They would also control prices and markets on their own.
Mercantilism was the precursor to Capitalism although each of them different in many ways. Mercantilism was for the wealth of the state, while the
motive of capitalism was for the wealth of the individual. There were many outlines for this new system called capitalism, which would make it

Government would be used minimally as a tool to help to prevent injustice's from being done to the people. Government would protect the people
from foreign attack, to guarantee contracts, and to uphold the peoples right to private property. Adam Smith was a British economist who helped
to create the system of capitalism that we use today. Adam Smith was one of the major critics of the old system of mercantilism as was seen in his
book The Wealth of Nations. He was against mercantilism because he felt like the people worked to make the place where they lived rich and not
themselves. Mercantilism was based on a few major points, most important was that the state must have a favorable balance of trade, which means
that they must export more than they import. As you can see in our nation today our balance is not in our favor but yet we remain to be the richest
country ever. Mercantilism also focused on the idea of bullionism, which was having hard currency in gold and silver to back up trade. Smith's idea
was that they would take parts of mercantilism and create this new system capitalism. He felt that in a society with free enterprise people would be
able to pursue profit themselves, and this would also benefit the society as well. Smith advocated the new system of capitalism to replace mercantilism.

opposition between man and technology is represented by three characters in the plot: Deckard, apparently a human. Roy, an android who fears death

oppressive characteristics and also to a certain extent the rebellion against exploitation. Deckard's realization of how the Tyrell Corporation exploits

Fast Capitalism And Its Effect On Organizations
In order to compete in the global economy, organizations are in a constant state of transformation, and are fixated on accelerating production processes
in order to maximize efficiency resulting in more profit. Today's organizations are less concerned with the production of useful goods and services, but
are more concerned with increasing shareholder value (Grey, 2009). This is known as fastcapitalism, or maximizing value for shareholders. This paper
will attempt to reveal what events led up to fast capitalism, and some of the consequences that have resulted from this modern economic system of
business. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate why fast capitalism is not sustainable and detrimental to organizations.
One event that contributed to fast capitalism was "the whole–sale deregulation of financial markets in the 1980s" (Grey, 2009, p. 112). This resulted in
constant change in organizations, and a continual search for ways to speed up production in order to remain competitive. Another event Grey (2009)
mentions is "the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement (the system which had regulated international trade and currency movements since the end
of the Second World War) in the 1970s" (p. 113). This resulted in the reorganization throughmergers and acquisitions.

Historical And Contextical Roots Of The Political Economy...
Some historical and theoretical roots of the political economy of communication
The political economy of communication (PEC) has its roots in moral and political philosophers that have established the foundations of political
economy's field, such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, or J.S. Mill. Nevertheless, later interpreters have narrowed their works to their contributions to the
field of economics, ignoring not only the political aspects of their inquiries, but also the moral foundations of their intellectual enterprises. In other
words, classical moral philosophers at the core of political economy were originally committed to disentangling the scope and implications of social
structures organizing human life, regarding normative as well as practical ways of social distribution of power and access to resources. However,
instead of acknowledging their broader trajectories as philosophers, the field has later labeled them just as economists, at the same time economy has
turned into a "science", spreading its technocratic dogma.
Indeed, in his well–known overview of the field of the PEC, Mosco (2009) describes a genealogy situating its starting point in the political economy of
the 18th century, grounded upon the work of those moral philosophers. By that time, thinkers such as Adam Smith were engaged in making sense and
promoting capitalism's acceleration, tradition that finds echo in its 20th century versions that celebrate the growth of communication industries. Indeed,

Nature : A Reflection Of Human Life
Nature – A Reflection of Human Life:
Small Peasant Economy vs. Industrial Capitalism in The Bee–pasture and Covers the Ground The leading American artist Andy Warhol once said, "I
think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own." In The Bee–pastures and Covers The Ground, the
conservationist John Muir and the environmental activist Gary Snyder both value nature as a reflection of human life. By depicting the original beauty
and negative change of nature, the authors praise the diligent lifestyle of peasants, criticize the environmental and economic damage that industrial
Capitalism causes and wish to promote the idea of humanitarianism. The original beauty of nature is a reflection of the peasants' diligent working
style in both texts. The "wild bees" and the "restless, wild agriculture"(28) represent the earnest labor life of peasants in the mid–19th century.
Furthermore, Muir describes the hum of bees as "monotonous, yet forever fresh and sweet as every–day sunshine."(26) The depiction combines vision,
smell and the audible senses, which present a repetitive yet hardworking and pleasant lifestyle of peasants and suggest a harmony relationship between
man and nature. Similarly, in Covers The Ground, Gary Snyder praises the accomplishment of peasants by referring to Muir's lines. He recalls that
California's land was "one sweet bee–garden"(30) and "one smooth bed of honey–bloom"(31) at the beginning and end of the poem.

British Expansionism Imperialism
The tension between the national and the international is essential to understanding the very nature of imperialism. The 19th century marked an era of
"Pax Britannica", where Great Britain was the world hegemon, unrivaled at sea, marking the height of British economic and imperial power. Britain's
power was rooted in its prized national economic system of capitalism and free enterprise. This capitalist empire ushered in a paradoxical British
monopoly on world trade as well as wealth and progress on the Isles. However, Britain's economy and survival involved a dependency on foreign trade,
and its most important possession, India. During the late Victorian Era, this global, informal trade empire began to decline, setting the British
government on a quest to secure the nation's global economic assets and status accumulated at its height. Thus, its expansionist policy during the late
Victorian Era were centered around preserving its unraveling, old "empire of trade and influence," with a new empire of occupation and annexation,
most prominently in Africa. Due to Britain's parasitic dependency on global trade, the decline of Britain's informal empire led to the pre–emptive
expansionist policies of the late Victorian era.

Marx, Late Capitalism, and the Hunger Games
In his papers, Marx outlines his thoughts on communism and how it would work in a modern setting. Three main points that Marx presents in his
papers are that: all value is labor, all value comes from exploitation, and eventually this exploitation will lead to a revolution. In Marxism, the end ideal
is that the proletariat, the lower class, will revolt and overthrow the bourgeoisie, the upper class. This ideal is very similarly drawn out in the Suzanne
Collins best selling novel trilogy The Hunger Games. This is especially shown in the second novel, Catching Fire. In Catching Fire entertainment is
used to quell ideas of revolution. The idea being that if you allow the people to revolt through entertainment, they won't reach a revolution in actual
society. However, in the hunger games, this does not work and the eventually districts revolt.
In his papers, Marx states, "The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class
antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. (Marx)" In a feudal
society there are essentially three classes: the lords and their upper class, the craftsmen, and the serfs. Marx says that from this hierarchal system grew

Pros And Cons Of Communism

  • 1. Pros And Cons Of Communism Communism is an economic and political system based on a single– party government ruled by a dictatorship. Communism will put an end to private property, substituting government ownership to factories, railroads, and other businesses. Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Many feared that the loyalty of these American communists was to the Soviet union. Also, they feared that communism would spread around the world.

  • 2. The Marxist Theory Is The Political And Economic Theories... The Marxist theory is the political and economic theories originated by German theorists: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marx was born in Germany in 1818 and studied philosophy and law. He was among many the most important authors of sociology and was best known as the "father of Marxism" (McIntyre, 21). Along with Friedrich Engels, he wrote and published The Communist Manifesto. This document helped shape the revolutions that reconstructed much of the world with over the course of the next century. According to Marx the most important thing about society is the way a society is organized to produce goods and services, also known as mode of production. The relationships among people and people's relationships to the forces of production are how decisions were made about what to do with the outcomes. The Marxist theory recognizes several typical modes of production and characteristics of different periods in our past history (McIntyre, pg28) These modes of production includes: "Primitive communism" which had no categorized social class structures or capital growth, "Asiatic mode" which is allegedly the original form of society where small groups removes social additions through violence directed at settled or unsettled band groups within a domain. "Ancient mode" is when property is the control of the individual, the forces of production connected with this mode is the widespread use of animals in agriculture, and advanced trade networks."

Canada's industrialization occurred later and was shaped by its colonial status; that immigration was a major factor in creating a workforce; and that resource industries played a cen– tral role. By the 1840s, Canada's economy was still largely agrarian, even though the two key ingredients for industrialization–an available labour force and a transportation infrastructure–were in place. Industrialized countries tend to be highly urbanized; production typically takes place on a big scale using complex technologies; workplaces tend to be organized bureaucratically; and white–collar workers make up most of the workforce. Citizens are reasonably well educated, and generally an individu– al's level of education and training is related to her or his occupation.

  • 4. The Relationship Between Capitalism And Democracy The relationship between capitalism and democracy has been defined by many as fundamental complementary ideologies, and social scientists have discovered an undeniable link between the two structures with some suggesting that "where either capitalism or democracy flourishes, the other must soon follow" (Reich, 2007). Currently, the main form of modern democracy is polyarchal democracy which originated from the Greek word polyarkhe, meaning 'many rule'. This infers that multiple people within a government system possess political power, making it neither a dictatorship nor a pure democracy ruled by the people. The relationship between these two complementary yet conflicting social structures have led some to believe that there are in fact enemies rather than corresponding entities due to the selfish and competitive nature of capitalism negatively affecting a democracy's notion of equality. Joseph Schumpeter however, proposed in 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy' that democracy may function just as effectively under socialism rather than drawing the conclusion that democracy is only generated under the conditions of capitalism. Other social scientists like Rueschemeyer, Stephens and Stephens (1992) believe that "democracy arises due to its functional fit with the advanced industrial economy", which provides an answer as to why many 3rd world and developing countries still have yet to implicate the form of democracy in their political systems due to their lack of industrial ...

  • 5. Essay on Capitalism: Karl Marx vs Adam Smith Marx v. Smith on Capitalism Capitalism, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, is "the means in which production are privately owned and production is guided and income is disputed largely through the operation of markets". Capitalism saw the emergence after the feudal system of Western Europe can do a halt. Many economists, even today, dispute the simple beginnings of capitalism. Some theories range from religious reasons, such as the rise of Protestant Reformation in the 1500s, to the enclosure movement in England. How capitalism differs from the feudal system that preceded it is fairly simple. Prior to capitalism the title in economic system at the time consisted of kings, lords and serfs.

At an almost fundamental level Adam Smith believes that it is the power of the individual to determine his own success whereas Karl Marx would argue that it is those who were already wealthy to begin with that were able to make money and a capitalist system because they originally acquired capital. The overall theme for Adam Smith was that capitalism benefited everyone that was involved. His invisible hand idea meant that goods and services were automatically allocated to those who needed them most and us was efficient enough to run on its own. Karl Marx did not see it this way. He saw the ability of the capitalist to exploit his own workers for profit and for him everyone did not benefit because there were winners and losers. It is wiser to say that Karl Marx had a more developed view of capitalism than Adam Smith. He had the ability to see the progression of capitalism passed Adam Smith. On top of that, his work is much more developed as it takes into account theories that compete with his own. Adam Smith comes off in a mere philosophical way describing capitalism from the ivory tower that he sat in. In Karl Marx's epic capital volume 1 he begins to discuss how he think capitalism originally arose. Chapter 26 titled the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. The Economic System Of Capitalism The Industrial Revolution in Western Europe provided the context for economists and political writers of the nineteenth century to promote three different economic plans designed to meet the needs of workers and entrepreneurs. Capitalism was first proposed by Adam Smith as a reform plan for the existing economic system of mercantilism. The major tenets of capitalism included: free enterprise, competition at every level, and private property. Although there were many advantages including new inventions and rewarding excellence there were also disadvantages including how harsh people were treated where they worked and people making up others privileges. The economic system of capitalism was implemented in India with the British East India Company during the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. It was unsuccessful because it became corrupt, abusive of workers, and was ultimately replaced because of revolts. The economic system of capitalism did not address the needs of both entrepreneurs and workers because the workers didn't ask to be abused like they were and the entrepreneurs sort of did because they got to run their business how they wanted to. (#1&#6)The Industrial Revolution provided the historical context for a new economic plan, capitalism, which was promoted by Adam Smith.

The Shaping Of The Modern World Essay Tennessia Clarke Prof. Erik Wallenburg The Shaping of the Modern World 10/31/16 Question #5: The Growth and dominance of Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution transformed the world. Explain the different positions and outlooks on capitalism and the Industrial Revolution taken by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels. The growth, influence, and power of the world surrounds itself around capitalism and the Industrial Revolution. Capitalism is best described as the economic and political system where different countries trade. It is the economic market of the world in which it provides the needs and demands for supplies; opposed to the industrial revolution where that refers to the transformation of technology. As discussed in class, the late 1400s were where many economic conducts were controlled by families, religion, tradition and political authority rather than by markets. The manufacturing of goods was done using hand tools and machines in the comfort of households and in small farms. Particularly on farms, workers were required to perform hard labor, making the life of the average person emphatically difficult as results were diseases and malnourishment. In essence, the Industrial Revolution played a major role with the economic market. As the economy improved, longer work days for workers were given since the demand for supplies became increased.

  • 8. The Role Of Capitalism In Upton Sinclair's The Jungle This was one of the most important quotes from The Jungle, as it explained the capitalist system as a system of oppression. The capitalist system here was describes as a system that not just puts people in bad working conditions and corrupts the government, but a system that puts the working in a form of slavery. Sinclair had intended to raise awareness of the negative capitalistic system and it problems, and to inspire reforms and change. He was successful as this book became one of the greatest books in American history. Sinclair's wanted to paint a picture of the ills ofcapitalism for his readers, and he did that. He gave direct examples of the problems for the reader to know, and wrote the book not as a book of just facts but as a novel. The novel made the problems of capitalism a more personal issue, and a humanitarian emergency. As I read the book and got to know the characters their problems became as if it was mine. This is what Sinclair wanted to raise awareness to the messed up system of capitalism and he sure showed me the dangers of this deathly system. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 9. Trainspotting Analysis Abandon all Hope: Impotence and Fragmented Communities in Last Exit to Brooklyn and Trainspotting The late capitalist novel has become an area of interest to authors, critics and readers alike. Novels such as Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and the novels of J.G. Ballard, all gained notoriety as novels that commented on the effects of globalization, hyper–consumerism and hyper–individualism. However, these novels tend to focus on the upper and middle classes and do not comment on the effects that globalization and deindustrialization had on the working class. The much understudied Last Exit to Brooklyn (LETB) by Hubert Selby Jr. (1964) and Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh (1993), however do just that. The novels – although set almost 30 years and an ocean apart – share many commonalities, and with Welsh's introduction to the LETB 2011 edition, it is surprising that no one has studied the two novels together. Perhaps this is because LETB has often been studied within the context of religion, violent sexuality and naturalism. While these are all valid contexts of studying the novel I would like to take a different approach by analyzing it together with Trainspotting. The novels have many similar themes, ideas and styles and it seems important to read them side by side because they both convey the conditions and effects of late capitalism and neoliberalism on the working class, and show what happens 'when the working class stops working' ...

  • 10. Culture Of The World : Tasman And Cook 's Explorations 1: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum tells us much about the experience of modernity in the late sixteenth century. It demonstrates how those individuals at the time – who would consider themselves to be at the cutting edge of discovery – were documenting the world around them. Along with this expansion of boundaries came the expansion of knowledge and understanding; understanding of the nature of the world, its structure and formation, shown by this map's relative accuracy and fullness. Whilst it is not perfect in its execution – Japan and the Americas are misshapen and Oceania has been incorporated into Antarctica – this map is the most accurate that had been produced at the time, and produced a respectable image of the world. This urge – to understand – is further evidenced by the fact that explorers continued to venture across the world: Tasman and Cook's explorations revealing the continent of Oceania, and further expanding our knowledge of the world. According to Subrahmanyam, "the early modern period ... is, in a fundamental way an age ... of geographical redefinition" . The creation of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was preceded by, and facilitated by, the discovery of the Americas by Columbus in 1492 and the circumnavigation of the world by Magellan in 1522. These two discoveries challenged commonly held notions at the time: Magellan proved conclusively that the world was round and not flat, and Columbus discovered an entire continent.

  • 11. Capitalism Vs. Socialism Capitalism vs. Socialism Capitalism and Socialism have very around a long time since the Industrial Revolution and some of their characteristics still continue to be in use today in many countries around the world. Capitalism was mainly used in nineteenth century England and created widespread poverty and many people disagreed with the way Capitalism worked. They thought it created an unfair balance between the rich and the poor and overall made a widespread class struggle against poverty. Socialism rose up as an economic theory because of all the problems that Capitalism was having. It was based on the fact that many people wanted to diminish the separation between the rich and poor and make them equal. Capitalism was the economic system based on money and in which property and the means of production (like factories) were owned by businesses and separate people. This system functions when people follow their own self interest and beliefs so progress will result. The government doesn't interfere in the economy because the rules of the market–place benefit everyone. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In socialism they think that the government should own all property and all of the means of production. The government also should be acting to protect workers since employers often take advantage of them. This system also works so that all goods will be distributed according to each person's individual needs. It also works by progress results when producers of goods cooperate for the benefit of all without any competition at all. In the early 19th century socialists believed that the spirit of cooperation could replace the market–place competition of capitalism but late 19th century socialists like Karl Marx believed cooperation wasn't possible and the conflict between the owners of capital and those who worked for them was ...

  • 12. The Failure Of Russia History has proven the inferiority of the economic systems that are not free–market oriented. People starved all over Europe due to lack of food produced before the Industrial Revolution and the application of capitalism. Governments practicing socialism and communism like China, Russia, and North Korea ended up starving their citizens because their economies were so awful. Look at Russia as an example. Russia is rich in natural resources and is the largest country in the world, yet many Russians have starved in the last century. Andrew Bernstein has some information about the failure of Russia's economy. Bernstein has taught philosophy at universities all over New York and has a Ph.D. in philosophy. He lectures regularly and has spoken ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While the total amount of economic aid sent to the Soviet Union is unknown, "... it is known that America alone donated 700,000 tons of foodstuff" (Bernstein). Even with all of the aid, the U.S.S.R. could not keep itself together or support its failing system. Poverty could have been avoided, but Russia would not implement capitalism. Another example of economic potential wasted by socialism is Venezuela. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on Earth, yet their economy is failing because of their socialist policies. Many Venezuelans can not even afford food. Venezuelan money has become worthless due to skyrocketing inflation rates. At one point, it was actually worth less than virtual coins in the game World of Warcraft, and these coins spawn infinitely. If a currency is created infinitely, that means it is barely worth anything. Hyperinflation like that is never good for an economy, let alone hundreds or thousands of percent inflation. A good inflation rate for economic growth is about one to three percent. At least countries that existed before the implementation of capitalism could not have avoided starvation like Venezuela and Russia could.

  • 13. Analysis Of The Article ' Land 's End : Capitalist... Introduction Professor Tania Murray Li is a distinguished woman. She is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto's downtown campus where she also serves as the director of the Centre for Southeast Asian Studies, and the Canada Research Chair in the Political–Economy and Culture of Asia. The twenty years she spent in Indonesian island of Sulawesi afforded her rich material to write her book entitled "Land's End: Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier", which was published in 2014; an article in the Journal of Peasant Studies, among other things, entitled "Food Sovereignty: A Critical Dialogue", and to give an interesting lecture at the University of Toronto Scarborough entitled "Capitalism from Above and Below". The article explores how the Sulawesian people went from producing the food they needed to survive to planting cacao as a cash crop which they sold to survive (Li, 2014). After reading her article and listening to her lecture, I found that I had a greater appreciation and understanding for the production and availability of the food that I consume. With regards to geopolitics, a clear relationship exists between the Sulawesians and the rest of the world; however, that relationship needs improvement. The Sulawesians were regularly defrauded by other merchants, especially those in coastal merchants in trade, though they have nonetheless realized that they are members of the world community – members who are poor and who wish ...

  • 14. Utopian Economy Over the course of human history, economics has shaped governments and societies. Governments, those ruled by monarchies, used an economic system based on the concept of feudalism. Once societies rebelled and got rid of monarchies, people looked for an alternative economic system; a utopian idea which met the needs of a changing world. As economic utopian ideologies emerged from the late 1700s–1900s, governments; such as capitalism, socialism and communism often came into direct conflict and influenced world politics. Capitalism was created as a result of the industrial revolution. Karl Marx said that the kings and queens of the old feudal system were now replaced with factory owners and businessmen, and the old feudal noblemen were replaced by the wealthy businessmen who got more money through factory production. Bankers now loaned money and investors could accumulate wealth through the profit of factory owners. Stockholders were able to become owners by buying a share of the company. Workers were also needed in this environment like machine operators and mechanics were needed for the factory system. Although there were positives to capitalism there are negatives to it too. Factory workers worked long hours with very low pay and child labor ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is why socialism has public ownership instead of private ownership.

  • 15. Soft-Soaping Empire : Racism And Imperial Advertising In the article, "Soft–Soaping Empire: Commodity racism and imperial advertising," the author summarizes the symbolistic importance of advertisement in relation to soap representing a grand scale of Victorian beliefs and values created by consumer capitalism. The marketing strategies to promote soap were generated from the state of British society with regards to the general outlook on race, class, and gender. Therefore, the propaganda attached to the advertisement of soap ultimately generated its social and economic significance through commodifying strategies which continue to reflect society to this day. During the pivotal moments in British late 19th century colonial imperialism, along with competitive capitalism and the emergence of the urban middle class, marketing strategies developed aiming to increase retail for different consumer products. At this time, soap went from a "humdrum item and a washing cursory" to a "Victorian fetishism" in British society as Victorians were consuming 260,000 tons of soap a year (McClintock, 129) Hence, soap held more symbolic economic and social importance than it previously maintained because of consumer capitalism helping establish its value through advertisement. For example, in viewing soap through Marx's commodification theory, soap undertook significant values as it was no longer a humdrum object but rather a conjugated symbol for racial supremacy and domesticity in Pear's advertisement (McClintock, 1995).

  • 22. Taking a Look at Capitalism Capitalism is an economic system where goods and services are created for profit using privately owned goods and wage labor. The owners of these capital goods will employ wage labor to generate commodities with the aim of acquiring a personal profit. The owners, or the designated managers of these owners, make the majority of the business decisions and receive profit and other property revenue, including rent, interest, and dividends. Capitalism usually yields significant economic growth and inequality. Capitalism's foundational manifesto is usually accreditted to be Adam Smith's 1776 book Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, even though Smith based his work on mostly older concepts. It has in actuality been the dominant economic system in certain places of Europe since the 1600s. A naturally expansionary system from its earliest years, capitalism has infiltrated into most countries in the world. It has grown very unevenly; in some places it has been a strong instrument of growth and industrialization–as in the majority of Europe, the United States, and Japan–but has, on the other hand, left other places of the world struggling financially and underdeveloped.

One key concept that led to a greater a following for revisionist socialism was that socialist projects like 'New Harmony' had failed due to lacking in sound economic policy and it only capitalism that in their eyes offered a secure economic policy.

The taste of gingerbread ice–cream can awaken a memory of visiting grandma's house. The sight of purple daisies can arouse a memory of attending a wedding decorated with purple daisies. Senses stimulate our memories because according to cultural anthropologist Constance Classen, "senses themselves may each be linked with different trains of associations" (Classen 1997: 401). Because of this link, senses and memories have an interwoven relationship. Furthermore, some consumer capitalists have exploited this interrelationship to profit themselves.

Modernism And The Cultural Logic Of Late Capitalism In general, many of the most urgent theories of modernity, and by extension, the aesthetic revolution of modernism, focus on the development of capitalism and its relation to cultural form. This strain of economic criticism is especially valuable in grasping both the pains and promises of modernity. Additionally, this strain is an attractive approach because it provides a grounded historical method of periodization –each stage of capitalism has a dominant mode of artistic production. Fredric Jameson, in his highly influential Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), uses three stages of capitalism–competitive, monopoly, and multinational–to create his own corresponding schema of cultural periodization–realism, modernism, and postmodernism. However, in "The Existence of Italy" (1992), Jameson relaxes these categories somewhat by positing the existence of shorter cycles that follow the same trajectory of realism в†’ modernism в†’ postmodernism but occur outside the standard periodization, which is directly linked to specific capitalist phases. Here, "cycles" is the best description of this phenomenon because it reinforces their relationship to capitalism; Jameson bases his logic of larger periodization on long cycles of economic development. However, this logic's timeline is closely correlated to the core countries of capitalism, which has enabled their cultural form to become the standard.

Government would protect the people from foreign attack, to guarantee contracts, and to uphold the peoples right to private property. Adam Smith was a British economist who helped to create the system of capitalism that we use today. Adam Smith was one of the major critics of the old system of mercantilism as was seen in his book The Wealth of Nations. He was against mercantilism because he felt like the people worked to make the place where they lived rich and not themselves. Mercantilism was based on a few major points, most important was that the state must have a favorable balance of trade, which means that they must export more than they import. As you can see in our nation today our balance is not in our favor but yet we remain to be the richest country ever. Mercantilism also focused on the idea of bullionism, which was having hard currency in gold and silver to back up trade. Smith's idea was that they would take parts of mercantilism and create this new system capitalism.

Fast Capitalism And Its Effect On Organizations In order to compete in the global economy, organizations are in a constant state of transformation, and are fixated on accelerating production processes in order to maximize efficiency resulting in more profit. Today's organizations are less concerned with the production of useful goods and services, but are more concerned with increasing shareholder value (Grey, 2009). This is known as fastcapitalism, or maximizing value for shareholders. This paper will attempt to reveal what events led up to fast capitalism, and some of the consequences that have resulted from this modern economic system of business. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate why fast capitalism is not sustainable and detrimental to organizations. One event that contributed to fast capitalism was "the whole–sale deregulation of financial markets in the 1980s" (Grey, 2009, p. 112). This resulted in constant change in organizations, and a continual search for ways to speed up production in order to remain competitive. Another event Grey (2009) mentions is "the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement (the system which had regulated international trade and currency movements since the end of the Second World War) in the 1970s" (p. 113).

Some historical and theoretical roots of the political economy of communication The political economy of communication (PEC) has its roots in moral and political philosophers that have established the foundations of political economy's field, such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, or J.S. Mill. Nevertheless, later interpreters have narrowed their works to their contributions to the field of economics, ignoring not only the political aspects of their inquiries, but also the moral foundations of their intellectual enterprises. In other words, classical moral philosophers at the core of political economy were originally committed to disentangling the scope and implications of social structures organizing human life, regarding normative as well as practical ways of social distribution of power and access to resources. However, instead of acknowledging their broader trajectories as philosophers, the field has later labeled them just as economists, at the same time economy has turned into a "science", spreading its technocratic dogma. Indeed, in his well–known overview of the field of the PEC, Mosco (2009) describes a genealogy situating its starting point in the political economy of the 18th century, grounded upon the work of those moral philosophers.

Nature : A Reflection Of Human Life Nature – A Reflection of Human Life: Small Peasant Economy vs. Industrial Capitalism in The Bee–pasture and Covers the Ground The leading American artist Andy Warhol once said, "I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own." In The Bee–pastures and Covers The Ground, the conservationist John Muir and the environmental activist Gary Snyder both value nature as a reflection of human life. By depicting the original beauty and negative change of nature, the authors praise the diligent lifestyle of peasants, criticize the environmental and economic damage that industrial Capitalism causes and wish to promote the idea of humanitarianism. The original beauty of nature is a reflection of the peasants' diligent working style in both texts. The "wild bees" and the "restless, wild agriculture"(28) represent the earnest labor life of peasants in the mid–19th century. Furthermore, Muir describes the hum of bees as "monotonous, yet forever fresh and sweet as every–day sunshine."(26) The depiction combines vision, smell and the audible senses, which present a repetitive yet hardworking and pleasant lifestyle of peasants and suggest a harmony relationship between man and nature. Similarly, in Covers The Ground, Gary Snyder praises the accomplishment of peasants by referring to Muir's lines. He recalls that California's land was "one sweet bee–garden"(30) and "one smooth bed of honey–bloom"(31) at the beginning and end of the poem. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. British Expansionism Imperialism The tension between the national and the international is essential to understanding the very nature of imperialism. The 19th century marked an era of "Pax Britannica", where Great Britain was the world hegemon, unrivaled at sea, marking the height of British economic and imperial power. Britain's power was rooted in its prized national economic system of capitalism and free enterprise. This capitalist empire ushered in a paradoxical British monopoly on world trade as well as wealth and progress on the Isles. However, Britain's economy and survival involved a dependency on foreign trade, and its most important possession, India. During the late Victorian Era, this global, informal trade empire began to decline, setting the British government on a quest to secure the nation's global economic assets and status accumulated at its height. Thus, its expansionist policy during the late Victorian Era were centered around preserving its unraveling, old "empire of trade and influence," with a new empire of occupation and annexation, most prominently in Africa.

  • 38. Marx, Late Capitalism, And The Hunger Games Marx, Late Capitalism, and the Hunger Games In his papers, Marx outlines his thoughts on communism and how it would work in a modern setting. Three main points that Marx presents in his papers are that: all value is labor, all value comes from exploitation, and eventually this exploitation will lead to a revolution. In Marxism, the end ideal is that the proletariat, the lower class, will revolt and overthrow the bourgeoisie, the upper class. This ideal is very similarly drawn out in the Suzanne Collins best selling novel trilogy The Hunger Games. This is especially shown in the second novel, Catching Fire. In Catching Fire entertainment is used to quell ideas of revolution. The idea being that if you allow the people to revolt through entertainment, they won't reach a revolution in actual society. However, in the hunger games, this does not work and the eventually districts revolt. In his papers, Marx states, "The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. (Marx)" In a feudal society there are essentially three classes: the lords and their upper class, the craftsmen, and the serfs. Marx says that from this hierarchal system grew the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. In Marxism, labor is the means by which value is determined. That is to say, all value is labor.
