carried by the competition that the bookstore does not carry. These are
insignia clothing, gift items, greeting cards, magaines, and candy and
snacks. Also, although the bookstore does carry a selection of paperback
books, the selection is sm .....

Wealth

People who have to earn money usually have gone without the necessities
and luxuries money buys. People who earn their money appreciate it more

others that don't have money. They are not actually better; they just have
it easier. People who have had money from birth do not understand the
concept of earning a living so they make fun of the people who have to work.
They also make fun of people th .....

Work Satisfaction

managers are reporting to the president of an organization rather than a
vice-president. (Mathis and Jackson, 1985)
Organizations should endeavor to achieve a working environment
conducive to job satisfaction. Why? Because employees who get
satisfaction from the work they do tend to do quality work consistently,
which benefits the organization. At the same time, the individual owes it
to him/herself to seek work that is most fu .....

wealth following the revolution. The idea of industrialization as the means
to true socialism never occurred to Lenin. He assumed, at least initially,
that communism could would and should exist in the pre revolutionary way of

Before Stalin came to power, the communist party for the most part
agreed that industrialization was necessary, however different sects of the
Bolsheviks were in disagreement about how this change should come about.

National Income As An Indicator Of Standard Of Living
.... used in the USA and Japan.
However, there are some criticisms of National Income statistics. The
first major criticism is that of accuracy due to difficulties in the
measurement. E.g. Second hand deals go unregistered. The second criticism
which is linked to this is that sales in the black economy will also go
unregistered even though they may have significant effects (both good and
bad) on a personŐs standard of living. For example, if drugs were being
sold on the black market this may lead to a .....

For the answer we must turn to an economist by the name of John Maynard
Keynes. He developed an economic theory that said that the forces of
supply and demand operated to slowly in a serious recession, and the
federal government should step in and help stimulate the economy. This
theory became known as Keynesian Economics. In terms of the Great
Depression the economy was at a serious imbalance because the public sector

system or a hands- off approach to the way of business. The main theory
states that if government would not mess with them by making laws, the
strongest business will succeed and bring wealth into the whole country.
True the strongest business did bring in wealth to the country, but the
problem was, the working conditions. Some workers had to work in conditions
that most of us can never think of. Working in dark, damp and cold

this time work? This is a Question that is still debated today.
The opposite approach is the Keynesian thought. This school of thought
would believe in a more active approach. That is the Federal Government and
