Which one of the following is NOT one of the arguments against social responsibility as used by economist Milton Friedman?

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) Businesses can actually do very little in terms of social responsibility.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is most famous for the defense of the Chicago School economics which is a neoclassical approach to macroeconomics. He favored free trade, smaller government and a slow but constant growth of the money supply. I personally disagree with neoclassical economists because they have the tendency to mess things up and time proves they are always wrong (that is a biased but positive statement). He was the father of monetarism, but if you look at his last two disciples, George Bush and George W. Bush, the outcome was not positive ⇒ 3 deep recessions in 3 presidential terms.

As a neoclassical economist, Friedman believed and argued in favor of the trickle down in economics. That means that if you allow the rich to get overwhelmingly rich, their riches will spill over to the rest of society. Not because they are good people that like to share their wealth, but because they need workers and employees to keep consuming goods and services in order to get the economy moving. Eventually the spilled over wealth should return to the top. So it is no wonder why he opposed corporate social responsibility, since wasting time and money in the community, employees or the environment was simply a waste of resources that could be used to increase stockholders' wealth.

I understand how theoretically this might work, but it takes the human factor out of the equation and expectations are extremely important in economics, that is why they always fail.

your supervisor, ashby, wants you to make an appointment for her to meet with a friend of yours, kevin. she wants to make a sale

Novay_Z [31]

Coercion is used by Ashby as she threatened to withhold your promotion if you don’t make the appointment.

<h3>What is Coercion?</h3>

The Indian Contract Act's Section 15 defines coercion as "committing or threatening to commit any act prohibited by the Indian Penal Code, or unlawfully detaining, or threatening to detain, any property, to the prejudice of any person whatsoever, with the intention of causing any person to enter into an agreement."

<h3>Give an example of Coercion.</h3>

For instance, if B refuses to sell his house to A for 5 lakh rupees, A may threaten to harm him. Here, even if B sells the house to A, the agreement won't be enforceable because B's cooperation was coerced. Now, coercion has the result of rendering the contract void.

Which statement best describes the effects of low and high interest rates on the economy? Low interest rates encourage consumers

kirill115 [55]

The correct answer is A. Low interest rate encourage consumers to borrow and spend, while high interest rates encourage saving.

Interest rate is termed as the rate which a bank charges to its borrowers.

Nationally a good interest rat for a loan is 3.7%.

Recession and inflation are some effects of interest rate. We get to hear the federal funds rates if the interest rate falls or rises.

If the interest rate becomes high people will start to spend less to avoid the high cost.
