The correct answer is A) To increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security.

The other options of the question were B) To ensure that more businesses were created in an effort to prevent a recession. C) To provide an influx of currency into a weakened economy. D) To begin the design of the first multinational corporations, to encourage foreign investments in the domestic defense systems.

The US government wanted to increase federal funding after the launch of Sputnik "To increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security."

Let's remember that we are talking about the Cold War years after the end of World War II in which the Soviet Union and the United States always competed in the arms race and the establishment of control in some territories. The Soviet Union tried to spread Communism in other nations and the United States tried to stop it with the policy of containment. The space race was also another issue that confronted the two superpowers. That is why when the USSR launched the Sputnik into space, the US government wanted to increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security.

In 1-2 sentences, analyze how the timing of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination impacted American politics.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

In a year that seemed determined to shake Americans’ confidence in the foundations of their society, Kennedy’s death at 1:44 a.m. Pacific time on June 6, 25 hours after he was shot, was one of the biggest inflection points. Sirhan Sirhan’s bullets not only demolished the hope for a savior candidate who would unite a party so fractured that its incumbent, President Lyndon B. Johnson, had decided not to seek re-election. Coming just two months after the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., they also fueled a general sense — not entirely unfamiliar today — that the nation had gone mad; that the normal rules and constants of politics could no longer be counted on.

Which of the following is NOT an example of the invisible hand in action? A. producers offer people what they want B. competitio
musickatia [10]

Answer:

C. producers work together to increase prices

Explanation:

The concept of the invisible hand in economics was introduced by the classical economist Adam Smith, who is considered the father of economic liberalism. According to Smith, men have a natural selfish tendency and will seek to satisfy their own needs through trade in goods and services. Thus a positive effect of each man's selfish and individual attitudes will be felt in the economy. When everyone seeks their benefits, the wheel of economics spins. This is what Smith calls the invisible hand.

Consumers will demand goods and services according to their needs. Business owners, seeking to increase their wealth, will provide consumers with the most desired products. Consumers are rational and tend to buy goods from those they provide at a lower price.

Thus competition is a central element by which Smith justifies the invisible hand. The act of union of producers is considered a cartel, something contrary to the mechanisms of competition and therefore does not fit the metaphor of the invisible hand.

Explain in your own words how Henry Grady affected the South’s economy during the Reconstruction period?
Delicious77 [7]

Henry Grady was a Georgian journalist who encouraged the industrialization of the South following the model of the North. After the Civil War, the North experienced a period of fast industrialization and a rapid technological advance. All this prosperity was boosted by the Industrial Revolution that affected all over in the world during the 1800s. In contrast, the South was still predominantly agricultural. Its economy was based in a <em>sharecropping model</em>, in which white landlords had their fields worked and tended by farm laborers. Under this system, the landlord would provide the capital (usually obtained by a loan) to buy seeds and equipment, and the laborers would work. The profit would be not equally divided between both parts. Because of the low prices of the products, the farmers often fell in a cycle of indebtedness. This system left both farmers and workers in deep poverty. Grady had a voice. He was not just a journalist, but a newspaper editor with great oratory skills. In a series of public speeches, he envisioned an industrialized South, with manufacturing facilities, commerce and "<em>thrilling with the consciousness of growing power and prosperity</em>", in his words. This remake would be called <u>"New South"</u> and its main feature would be a "<em>diversified industry that meets the complex needs of this (the post-Reconstruction period) complex age</em>". His speeches motivated politics and he gained the empathy of the public in general. The modernization did happen, but it wasn't quite the same as Henry had dreamed. Some success could be seen in the iron and steel manufacturing segments. The textile mills was a great initiative, but it could have had more success if the wages weren't so low. Henry also defended the white supremacy and this idea held back the economic improvement. While landlords and factories prospered, the low-wage factoring work kept many in dire poverty.
