What are some ethical issues related to this area of wealth distribution? Be specific and identify issues with single words or phrases (not problems or dilemmas – review Student Toolbox for examples and information).
Relevant questions to think about as you form your analysis include: What is fair and just in the distribution of the costs and rewards of an economic system? What different principles of distribution can be used, and what are the consequences of each different scheme or principle? Should some versions of laissez–faire be adopted, or should communitarian/socialist scheme be used? DO not ansswer these questions in the LAs, they are just “food for thought; answer only the questios below, please. (Helpful principles to discuss, Utilitarianism, John Rawls’ Theory of Justice, Robert Noziack’s libertarianism, Adam Smith’s invisible hand, Marxist (secular) or Christian, Jewish , Islamic socialism)

In The Budget Balance powerpoint , I pointed out that the real economic sacrifice imposed on the country by government borrowing could be zero – or it could be substantial – depending on what the government does with the money. In the article, “Entitlements, Public Investment, and the Changing Nature of the U.S. Government,” on Tim Taylor’s blog, Conversable Economist, we find that ‘what the government does with the money’ has been changing over time in a consistent manner. I want you to consider three points related to that article

The final paper should be between 3000 and 3500 words in length (approximately 12-14 double spaced pages) not including the title page and reference list. Your paper is to be written and structured as a formal paper. This means that in addition to the body of the paper, you must include an introduction in which your research topic and thesis statement are clearly identified and contextualized, and a conclusion in which the main arguments or themes from the paper are concisely summarized. Pay attention to logic and flow in the organization of your paper. Allow yourself sufficient time to review, edit, revise and proof-read your paper prior to the due date.<br>
Evaluation will be based on your ability to:<br>
– formulate a relevant, analytical research question and thesis statement<br>
The objective of a research paper is to be analytical rather than descriptive. Therefore, rather than simply summarizing or describing the content of your sources, your paper should demonstrate an understanding of the core theoretical and conceptual frameworks from the course by applying these to your research topic and question. You should demonstrate critical thinking and analysis through your synthesis of the research material and engagement with central themes. Your paper will be evaluated for the clarity, conciseness and organization of writing. Proper referencing following the ASA or APA style guides is required. Please ensure that you proof-read carefully as spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors can detract from the flow, clarity and readability of your paper.
