¶ … tenets of the capitalistic economic system is that of supply and demand. In its most basic form, supply and demand is an economic model that determines both price and availability in a given market. In a competitive market, price functions in a way that is designed to equality the quantity demanded by consumers, and the quantity supplied by producers, resulting in economic "equilibrium" of price and quantity (Hazlitt, 1988). In the American healthcare model, managed care has attempted to control the supply and demand curve by modifying individual behavior. When this is focused on prescription drugs, however, demand-side controls involve copayment or coinsurance and may push the consumer towards generic brands. For the open market, however, major pharmaceutical companies posit that without adequate future revenue streams, they will be unable to develop new products in a robust manner -- especially in this...
Since 1960 healthcare costs have risen drastically, but care in many cases has diminished. Based on a supply and demand model, we see that there has been an increase in demand from an aging population that often requires more care, a larger focus on the health of the nation through initiatives, etc. (stop smoking, etc.), and an increase in costs for that healthcare based on a number of inefficiencies, redundancies, and capitalism. Pharmaceutical companies and companies that manufacture high-tech machines are faced with a dilemma -- do they recoup their costs domestically so R&D can continue, or try to be price oriented. The problem with many machines and advanced technologies is that there is not a large…
A favorite target for conspiracists today as well as in the past, a group of European intellectuals created the Order of the Illuminati in May 1776, in Bavaria, Germany, under the leadership of Adam Weishaupt (Atkins, 2002). In this regard, Stewart (2002) reports that, "The 'great' conspiracy organized in the last half of the eighteenth century through the efforts of a number of secret societies that were striving for
social and political philosophy of Karl Marx Karl Marx is known to be one of the greatest philosophers who have ever lived and he spent a significant part of his theories and writing discussion the relation between capital and labor. He indeed looked at capitalism as a system that is antisocial and one that allowed the people with the capital to exploit the labor of those who do not have
The book discusses the prevalent impression of oneself as a separate ego covered in a bag of skin that is similar to a hallucination that accords neither with experimental philosophy nor with the religions of the east, more specifically Hinduism. This hallucination undermines the use of technology and of formal education in general, because of its involvement in the destruction of humanity. Watts favors the kind of education that

Chinese Cultural Revolution, which began in the early 1960's and endured until the death of Mao Tse-tung, drastically altered the cultural arena of China from an agrarian system to one of modernity and acceptance by Western nations. Yet the Cultural Revolution was in effect based on communist principles which affected its ability to transcend the needs of the majority at the expense of the needs of the individual, meaning
architects in the 21st century is the issue of sustainability. Not only is there no consensus opinion on how to approach the issue of sustainability in academic circles but there is also no formula of integrating sustainability into architectural curriculum (Wright, 2003). This deficiency underscores an even more stressing problem, however: as Edwards and Hyett (2010) note, "the techniques and technologies of green design are now generally understood --
