- Adam Smith was from County Fife, Scotland, the same place that where Macbeth originated, in the famous Shakespeare play Macbeth.

- Ricardo was from

- Reverend Thomas Malthus, better known as Robert, was from Surrey, England, which is the same place where Harry Potter of the J.K. Rowling series is from.

- Karl Marx, the writer of the Communist Manifesto and the anti-capitalism, was from the Prussian Province of Germany. Throughout his life Marx was persecuted because he was a Jew so he converted to Lutheranism to keep his position as a prestigious lawyer.

The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx with the help of Friedrich Engels. The main goal of the two authors was to start a movement to overthrow capitalism and replace it with communism, the also wanted to create a society without social classes and/or aristocracies. So far no government has succeeded in the use of communism, some governments still use communism but they do not have strong economies because of lack of motivation, as George F. Kennan predicted in his “Containment Policy” in 1947.

Reasons why communism wouldn’t work would be lack of motivation among laborers, because nobody would want to work if they be given money for sitting around their houses all day long. Another reason communism wouldn’t work is because communist governments tend to ration out item such as gas and other necessities and everybody feels like they are not getting enough of anything. When communism is in use people in high positions tend to abuse their power and become corrupt, for example Fidel Castro allows drug cartels in Cuba to use his military forces as personal bodyguards.

David Ricardo had an important theory called the Iron Law of Wages. Ricardo believed that wages were set by population and population was set by wages. When population increases, wages and salaries go down and layoffs go up this causes the market to balance.

Malthus was an important user of demographic sciences, the study of population sizes. He put most of his beliefs into a published book/essay, called An Essay on the Principle of Population. In this essay Malthus stated that population grows geometrically while food grows arithmetically this eventually causes starvation after population exceeds food production. Malthus believed that starvation was inevitable because the geometric growth of population, he didn’t believe that it was right but that it was normal and natural.

I think that there hasn’t been one single great moment in economics everyday has been great, interesting and very funny. But on behalf of Hans Bremmer, I would have to say that was my favorite experience that happened in class. Thank you Mr. Haskell for making it all the more interesting keeping me in line telling great stories and jokes, this has been a truly valuable and unforgettable learning experience, thank you.

That shit you saw earlier was for economics class. Right now I am tipsy, I found out that when I am tipsy I am the most honest person ever and that when I have alcohol in my system I act most like myself, I am not afraid to act like myself, for example, I was on the bus with Victor and most of the time I listen to him and dont give my total honest opinion because i am an insecure piece of scheisse (shit in german, for all of you fuckin retards), but while I was on that bus I was listening to him and tellin him everything that I actually felt. We started to talk about Christina and how she is goin out with Tucker and how seductive she really is and how we would still bone the shit out of her and that we would never date her or be a couple with her. I was feelin that complete honesty, if only I had alcohol in my system all the time. I have to call Paola, Ryan and/or Mike to see what time we are going to meet up because we are seeing Star Wars, which happens to be a shitty series except for the old ones, we are all gonna go there wasted as hell. ADIOS EVERYONE!! I LOVE YOU CHANTLE SORRY THAT MY MSN ISNT WORKIN!!!

Karl Marx’s Ideology

Andrew K.

05/16/05

Economics

Karl Marx’s main ideas were present in his book, called The Communist Manifesto. His book stated that the citizens of the world should overthrow capitalism and abide by communism, also known as socialism. Communism/socialism is the idea in which a society does own property, stores or companies, everything is owned by the state and profit goes to the state. The state has complete control over the economy and supplies that the citizens need. Food, gas, oil and several other necessities are rationed by the state. Every person receives a paycheck after a government decided period of time. A loophole of Marx’s ideas is that if someone does not have a job they can still receive their rations and paycheck but they might have deductions in their paycheck. Some people view America’s welfare system to be like communism in that it has this same loophole, this is why some people are against the welfare system. Karl Marx was against the laissez-faire ideas present in most countries, he thought the government should be completely involved in trade, commerce and the economy.

Robert Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo Summary

During David Ricardo’s life, he wrote a book called Principles of Political Economy, this book basically stated his ideas and thoughts that should be put into play in our global economy. One these important ideas was that as population grows so does the renting and leasing of land. He also thought that a nation’s government should not interfere with trade, this idea is called free trade. If all governments did this all the time United States and a lot of other countries would not have been able to get themselves out of the Great Depression. I disagree with Ricardo, but at the same time I agree. I feel that governments should interfere but not too much.

During Reverend Robert Thomas Malthus’ life, he wrote an essay/book called Essay on the Principle of Population. His book predicted that population from anywhere to global population to town population would grow at a faster rate than that of food production for the population, he believed this rate would be exponential.

I found some quotes one of which was hilarious. I didnt understand this quote.

"We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction."-- General Douglas MacArthur

"Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live."-- MacArthur

"Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die." Douglas MacArthur

"He is the most decorated soldier in the history of the United States military.He is the most decorated soldier in the history of the United States military." --Wikipedia in an article on MacArthur this quote is not true because MacArthur is not the most decorated soldier an enlisted man by the name of Audie Murphy (http://www.audiemurphy.com/) is the most decorated soldier. MacArthur is the most decorated United States Military Officer. (i found out i was wrong Audie Murphy was the most decorated WWII soldier)

"Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still." -- My Relative and the 30th President of the United States of America, Calvin Coolidge

"Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion." -- Also my man Calvin

"I have never been hurt by what I have not said."-- Calvin Coolidge

"If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it."-- Calvin again

"If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you."-- Coolidge

"Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you."-- Calvin Coolidge

"No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."-- Calvin Coolidge

"No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace, or ensure it of victory in time of war."-- Calvin

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb."-- Same dude but more good quotes.

"Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country."-- I partly agree with this one. from now on just assume that the quotes are Coolidge's unless otherwise specified.

"The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten."-- I STRONGLY AGREE!!!

"We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen."

"We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once."

"Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance."

"France has neither winter, nor summer, nor morals. France is miserable because it is filled with Frenchmen, and Frenchmen are miserable because they live in France." --Mark Twain That shit cracked me up.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. -Dwight D. Eisenhower

So I went looking for Staples, which was like 2 or 3 miles from my uncle's where i was staying. I got MAAAAADD lost. I was out for three hours looking for Staples on my cousin's bike.

Today I was teabagged by an alien monster.Here are some photos, they were rated R by the MPAA. You are required by law to make sure that nobody under the age of 17 sees them, unless they are accompanied a parent or guardian.

Rated R for crude and sexual humor.

See what I mean??!!!

I hope they dont shock you as much as they traumatize me.

This is a picture of my dead body underneath the alien monster right after the homicidal teabagging took place.

Another shot of my corpse with my AK 47 lying near by at my crushed feet. I fired 60 rounds into that alien monster BASTARD... but he just wouldn't die. You might be able to see the bottom of the alien monster's ballsac hovering right over my body.

A shot of the alien monster's ballsac swinging right over my carcas from far away.

Here are a few more mindboggling snapshots of the alien monster over my body after it used a fatal dose of teabaggage to crush my feeble and fragile body.

I'm sorry for watever damage I have caused you and yours. This is Andrew Kingsbury, from the Kingsbury Empire Daily Chronicle.... OVER AND OUT!!!
