Why is capitalism inherently expansionary….
$7.001. Economic Globalization. In the Communist Manifesto Marx provides a description of the expansionary and global nature of capitalism.
(a) Explicate Marx’s argument. Why is capitalism inherently expansionary, according to Marx? How does Marx describe the relationship between the nation-state and global capital?
(b) Use Marx’s theory to make the strongest argument you can that globalization is oppressive and exploitative. Utilize at least one outside article and some statistics to support your position.
(c) Make the strongest argument you can in favor of globalization. Utilize at least one outside article and some statistics to support your position.2. Exploitation and Profit. Marx argues that profit derives from the exploitation of workers. For Marx, however, exploitation was not an abstract theory of justice, but a concrete examination of actual conditions. In this spirit, describe a real life example of exploitation, either in the US or abroad.
Can a wage be exploitative if the workers voluntarily accept the wage? Why or why not?
What would Marx say about the rise of household and consumer debt over the past 40 years? What would an adequate wage be?
Who or what should determine wages, if not the market? Finally, if you could pass legislation to eliminate exploitation, what would it be, and what might be some potential problems with this policy?How effectively they cope with the forces of nationalism and national identity
$25.00A major theme of the course so far has been the effects of the rise of many new sovereign nation-states after the collapse of the old empires. Creation of modern, sovereign, viable nation-states depends heavily upon the establishment of a national identity.
At the same time, the demands of “globalization” have (according to your authors) increased the importance of IGOs in dealing with issues. This creates a tension between the forces of nationalism and those of the need for increased international cooperation and coordination.
Select any two IGOs and compare them in terms of how effectively they cope with the forces of nationalism and national identity. Is this less of a problem for one than the other? If so, to what might this be attributed – its structure, its operating rules, the nature of the issue it addresses? If there is no apparent difference between them in this regard, what do they have in common that accounts for the similarity?
If you were asked to advise the leaders of an IGO on how best to manage nationalist interests and impulses in the organization, what one or two pieces of specific advice would you offer, based upon your comparison?

The American Dream Synthesis Paper
$15.00Synthesis Assignment Sheet
What is a Synthesis?
If anything confuses a student when writing an essay like this, it is the actual term “synthesis.” Don’t worry too much about the term; instead, see what you are doing as arguing a position with a variety of sources to help you. What you want to do in this essay is show that you can sustain a logical and persuasive argument, and control sources and their use to your persuasive end. Try to have your secondary sources have a “dialogue” with each other in terms of what they do and do not agree with in relation to your argued position(s).
The Assignment
General Topic: (Re)Defining “The American Dream” for the 21-st Century
Each of the four writers in this section addresses, even peripherally, even indirectly, something to do with “The American Dream.” For this assignment, compose a 4-page essay—an argumentative synthesis using a specific, arguable thesis that you construct on your own; it must relate to the readings in the chapter that we have been reading (“Business and Economy”). You may wish to extend the argument of one of the readings, or refute it, or build on it in a different way. Do not simply argue that a certain reading or author is right and repeat how so; instead, use the readings as a springboard for you to investigate a topic and put together ideas in new or different ways.
Structural Notes
Your Introduction should mention the general topic and the purpose of your essay/what idea(s) you plan to defend. Rather than merely summarizing the textbook essays / outside sources in entirety, use these, as necessary, to support and advance your own, original project / thesis / claim /set of claims.

Diaz, “The Money: Starting Out” (384-386)

…and 2 outside sources. Note: these can be scholarly journal articles, book-length studies, or
