free markets perspective, examine the ethics and morality of 'let capitalism rip' allegation made by British Prime Minister David Cameron. (Guide: 750 words)
The competence or incompetence of free markets and the implications of resource allotment to agents in an economy continues to be a passionately debated topic within economic and political circles. "In reality, markets are prone to inefficiencies when a number of factors arise" (Mendes, n.d.). A key principle of the free market philosophy is that businesses should focus exclusively on maximising shareholder value and not allow other considerations, apart from compliance with the law, to intrude on their business activities. This is what governments over the past 30 years have lived by. And that's what still protects big business from having to pay for its own excesses. The speculative banks, the oil companies, the private equity and hedge funds, all steal from the tax payer with total…...

This information goes both ways, which is essential for the functioning of the free market.
While this information comes and goes in the free market, so does it in the realm of advertising and consumerism. Companies advertise, consumers follow suit with their response, and these companies continue with or adjust their advertising methods to better suit themselves and their consumers. It is this give and take that has made the American business world and its economy so generally successful since the country's inception as a nation. Consumers know what they want and companies understand how to give these desires back to the consumers. In the arena of business, it is rare for any company to succeed who plays their consumers for fools, and companies in the realm of fast food and junk food do not play their consumers for fools either. ather is the consumer base that plays the fool…...

Proponents of free market systems argue that free enterprise leads to more efficient production and better response to changing consumer preferences. Others point to the fact that markets are not perfect. Consider both viewpoints and respond to both sides of the issue with your viewpoints.
The 20th century contains many examples of the inefficiencies of purely a 'command-based' economy. Command or planned economies keep employment artificially high and the prices of goods artificially low. There is little incentive to create new enterprises to meet consumer demands, and little incentive for workers to be productive. Scarcity seems hard-wired into the system and corruption and bribery is rampant as consumers resort to the black market to get the goods that they desire.

In a free market system, the 'invisible hand' of the market determines what goods and how many goods are produced. "Adam Smith assumed that consumers choose for the lowest price, and that…...

Moral Status of Advertising a Free Market Economy

Despite what many individuals may think, when devising an advertising plan, the planners must carefully pay attention to the motives of not only the business that is selling, and the perceptions of the target audience. Understanding the audience and paying attention to how one sells an idea or product is the core of affective and positive advertising (Shell and Moussa 313). However, persuasion can be a careful line of right and wrong, and in the case of a free market economy. In a free market economy, the concept of supplying a people with a sense of economic freedom can also lead to political and civil opportunities. To follow is the argument affirming a free market economy, highlighting more opportunities then inopportunity for economic growth and underlining freedoms.

Justifying advertising in any market economy is…...

Pricing decisions

When a firm decides to change the price of its good or services, the two driving factors are usually the cost and the competition. There is hardly another reason for change the price. Either the firm does it for itself as its costs are high and revenues are not significant or it does to beat the competition and gain bigger market share. Some theorists might add a third driving force behind pricing decision i.e. customer but this one is usually not as influential as the other two or simply doesn't play as major a role as do the two other factors. (Hyatt)

In the case of Hayes, the decision to change the price of aluminum wheel is driven by competition and not the cost. The firm already enjoys very large market share and is a global leader in this area but since it is Superior that is the…...

Papa John’s is the fourth-largest pizza chain in the US, and 20th-largest quick service restaurant overall (QSR, 2018). Its total revenues for 2018 were $1.573 billion, with net income of $1.64 million, according to the company’s latest 10-K. In terms of sales per unit, QSR Magazine (2018) lists Papa John’s with $968,000, higher than Little Caesar’s and Pizza Hut, but lower than Domino’s. The company has over 3300 units in total. According to the company’s website, it has over 5000 locations total, in 45 countries. Founded in 1985 in Jeffersonville, IN, the company began franchising the next year, and has grown steadily since then, although there was a decline in the number of stores in 2017 (QSR, 2018). According to IBIS World, the pizza industry in the US is worth $47 billion, which gives Papa John’s a 3.3% share. The largest competitor, Domino’s, has a 12.5% share, so there is only…...

Robert Reich's "Saving Capitalism"
For the Many, Not the Few

Robert Reich would be an unexpected ally for the movement on the Left, or the more liberal members of the American society. Reich is a classically trained economist that has actually won a Nobel Prize in economics for some of his work. Such awards and achievements would typically be associated with an individual that was more economically conservative than what Reich is arguing. However, the economic conditions that have provided decades of economic growth for many of the advanced nations are changing quickly and the standard economic perspectives are no longer creating the results that they did in previous circumstances. Reich makes many claims that might seem counterintuitive to many people who believe that the free market operates best when it is left to its own devices and not subject to government regulation.

However, the concept that hard work will allow you succeed…...

DevelopmentalismDevelopmentalism is a policy approach that emphasizes the role of the state in promoting economic growth and improving living standards by way of supporting a strong internal domestic market and using tariffs to keep imports from upsetting or undermining that internal strength. It emerged predominantly in the 1940s and 1950s in response to the Great Depression and World War II, and was widely adopted by developing countries during the post-war period. Developmentalism typically involves state intervention in key sectors of the economy, such as infrastructure and manufacturing, in order to promote industrialization and economic development (Klein, 2007). While developmentalism has come under criticism in recent years for its sometimes negative social and environmental impacts, it remains an influential approach to economic policymaking, particularly in the Third World.Developmentalism is best understood as a political-economic doctrine that emphasizes the industrialization of developing countries. The goal of developmentalism is to promote economic growth…...

Market Equilibration
The process of achieving a market equilibrium relies on some basic principles. The principle of demand holds that, all other things being equal, the higher the price of a good the less people will demand of that good (Investopedia, 2012). There are exceptions to this law, for example goods with inverse price elasticity of demand, but in general the law of demand holds for all goods, even those with very low price elasticity of demand.

The law of supply is the inverse. It holds that all other things being equal the higher the price of a good, the more suppliers will want to provide. Thus, as prices rise, the supply of a good will rise because the profit associated with the production of that good will increase, but the lower the demand will be, because the buyers' marginal utility will decrease.

Those other things that must be equal, however, are the…...

Because of the free-price system, trading exists in various degrees thus causing a lack of organized trading system. Issues also indicate that market economy creates monolopies that threaten the competitiveness of goods and services. Therefore, the solution to such problem that market economy critics find is to support mixed economy because they need a structured and organized system of trading. But what can a mixed economy provide to the economic condition of a nation? To the proponents of mixed economy, this system can prevent unstable economic conditions because the economic system is controlled. A mixed economy presents both the faces of a free-market and capitalism where people have the right to choose which type of economic system they wish to implement in trading. Additionally, even if free-market also exists in a mixed economy, it is still limited which therefore continues to present a controlled economic condition....

The authors use everyday examples, such as "investment in a newly formed small business" to make their economic processes more understandable to anyone who understands modern business, and this is one of the things that makes this book so readable, and so fascinating, even for someone who might not be that interested in economic theory and practice.
The Friedman's support many ideas that would reduce the authority of government in many economic areas, including the "negative income tax, the volunteer army, an improved method of auctioning Treasury securities, the monetary rule for achieving price stability; the voucher system for education, the flat tax, and flexible exchange rates" (Jordan et al. 199). It is quite amazing to see just how many of these Friedman ideas have made their way into our business and political world, including the volunteer army, the educational voucher system, and flexible exchange rates, to name a few.…...

Pharmaceutical industries have to operate in an environment that is highly competitive and subject to a wide variety of internal and external constraints. In recent times, there has been an increasing trend to reduce the cost of operation while competing with other companies that manufacture products that treat similar afflictions and ailments. The complexities in drug research and development and regulations have created an industry that is subject to intense pressure to perform. The amount of capital investment investments required to get a drug from conception, through clinical trials and into the market is enormous. The already high-strung pharmaceutical industry is increasingly investing greater amounts of resources in search of the next "blockbuster" drug that can help them gain market position and profits. Laws, regulations and patents are important to the industry while spending billions of dollars in ensuring the copyright of their products.

An important contribution to the market ideology is that the authors recognized the existence of a relationship between employment and the market. This relationship was based on that the employment, the division of labor and the "human material progress had proceed in parallel with the growth of the market." Otherwise put, there existed a direct relationship between the market and the employment, with the market being the feature which set the tone. An increase of the market would generate an increase in employment and vice versa. However, an increase or decrease in employment would not affect the market as the relationship between the two is unilateral.

Market-State
oth Phillip obbit and Richard Robison offer accounts of what a market-state is. obbit contends that the core features of the market-state are a crisis of the nation-state, a transformation of core state functions, relations of national states to transnational markets, and cosmopolitan culture. Finance is at the center of the culture, the money economy. Governments are more centralized but weaker because power is allocated by the money men, the banks, the managers of finance and capital, and governments are merely their footstools. According to Robison, on the other hand, market-states are neo-liberal, techno-managerial and instrumental, and citizens are clients and consumers. oth describe the materialistic, consumerist society, yet each has its own theoretical approach and unique conceptualization. This paper will compare obbit's and Robison's accounts of market-states and use the writings of Smith, Keynes, Marx and others to help illustrate the nature of the two.

Generally, GDP is viewed as a proxy for standard of living, but in the United States standard of living might actually drop for many people as the percentage of GDP attributable to healthcare grows.  It is important to keep in....
