The existence of periodic overproduction crisis is a main characteristic of the market economy system.

In general, the more than an economy can produce, the better as the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) figures increase, there is economic growth and high income and employment figures .

But if an excessive quantity of production is offered in the markets in relation to the amounts demanded, there will be situations of excess supply. If such situations cannot be balanced, a big crisis arises, as producers will have large unsold stocks, factories with an enormous capacity if compared to the amount they can sell according to the demand, and much more workers than they need.

In this situation many plants have to close down, workers are fired and sometimes even the whole business goes bankrupt.

The contradiction happens because high production figures are not leading to economic growth or recording positive figures. Alternatively, an overproduction crisis takes place with the very negative consequences described above.

Which factor contributed most to the rising number of homeless and poverty stricken people in america?
ICE Princess25 [194]
There are a number of factors that have contributed to the increase in poverty and homelessness.

After the Great Depression the United States had a more welfare model to support the economy, this resulted in development of government housing schemes, investment in infrastructure etc which all created jobs.

After World War II as the United States became the dominant economic force in the world, a more capitalistic model was enforced. By the 1960s, poverty began to rise again.

Up until 1970s manufacturing jobs still provided a huge cushion for the poor but as the United States opened by, more and more jobs started to leave America. Most of the jobs that left were the low-paying jobs for low skilled workforce.
 
Loss of jobs, low welfare benefits, the failure of the private sector to build low-cost homes, numerous recessions as well as the recent Great Recession, have all contributed to the rise of poverty and homelessness.

Selecting the transportation mode​ (train, ship,​ truck, airplane, or​ pipeline) and scheduling both​ in-bound and outbound ship
matrenka [14]

<u>Answer: </u>

The scheduling of both​ inbound and outbound shipments is typically accomplished by the supply chain​ process of logistics.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The statistics related to shipments going up and down and east and west are huge as far as the import and export markets of the world are concerned.
  • This import and export of commodities is possible because there are chains of logistics in place to ship a commodity from one place to another.
  • These chains do not function as a single whole but preferably work in bits of transportation networks.
