The concept of government as provider comes next: government as provider of goods and services that individuals cannot provide individually for themselves. Government in this conception is the solution to collective action problems, the medium through which citizens create public goods that benefit everyone, but that are also subject to free-rider problems without some collective compulsion.
The basic economic infrastructure of human connectivity falls into this category: the means of physical travel, such as roads, bridges and ports of all kinds, and increasingly the means of virtual travel, such as broadband. All of this infrastructure can be, and typically initially is, provided by private entrepreneurs who see an opportunity to build a road, say, and charge users a toll, but the capital necessary is so great and the public benefit so obvious that ultimately the government takes over.
A more expansive concept of government as provider is the social welfare state: government can cushion the inability of citizens to provide for themselves, particularly in the vulnerable conditions of youth, old age, sickness, disability and unemployment due to economic forces beyond their control. As the welfare state has evolved, its critics have come to see it more as a protector from the harsh results of capitalism, or perhaps as a means of protecting the wealthy from the political rage of the dispossessed. At its best, however, it is providing an infrastructure of care to enable citizens to flourish socially and economically in the same way that an infrastructure of competition does. It provides a social security that enables citizens to create their own economic security.
The future of government builds on these foundations of protecting and providing. Government will continue to protect citizens from violence and from the worst vicissitudes of life. Government will continue to provide public goods, at a level necessary to ensure a globally competitive economy and a well-functioning society. But wherever possible, government should invest in citizen capabilities to enable them to provide for themselves in rapidly and continually changing circumstances.
Not surprisingly, this vision of government as investor comes from a deeply entrepreneurial culture. Technology reporter Gregory Ferenstein has polled leading silicon Valley entrepreneurs and concludedthat they “want the government to be an investor in citizens, rather than as a protector from capitalism. They want the government to heavily fund education, encourage more active citizenship, pursue binding international trade alliances and open borders to all immigrants.” In the words of Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt: “The combination of innovation, empowerment and creativity will be our solution.”
This celebration of human capacity is a welcome antidote to widespread pessimism about the capacity of government to meet current national and global economic, security, demographic and environmental challenges. Put into practice, however, government as investor will mean more than simply funding schools and opening borders. If government is to assume that in the main citizens can solve themselves more efficiently and effectively than government can provide for them, it will have to invest not only in the cultivation of citizen capabilities, but also in the provision of the resources and infrastructure to allow citizens to succeed at scale
Frictional unemployment is the result of employment transitions within an economy. It is the unemployment that occurs from the inevitable time delays in finding new employment in a free market.
-a close-knit group of adult friends who have been together since middle school
-a married couple
Secondary group would include the following:
-a tailoring shop that makes bespoke (fully custom) suits for men
-a professional football team
Explanation:
When the members of a social group share very close and lasting relationships, such group is considered a primary group. Members in this group shows concern for each other and most time carried each other's burdens. For example, family, influential social groups, and childhood friendship.
On the other hand, secondary groups consist of people who interactions are strictly outcome-based or business-related or interaction between members are done on a less personal level.
C). The government controlled the only legal form of money.
Explanation:
As per the question, the third statement correctly narrates the standard system of currency developed by Augustus that 'the government was the sole reviewer of the only valid/legitimate form of money.' He set up a new monetary system in which he launched 'a new and common form of money 'aureus' where 1 aureus = 25 denarii, which led the bimetals consisting of both gold, as well as, silver in 1:12.5 ratio as the standard form of the money' and 1 gold quinarius = 1/2 aureus & 1 silver quinarius = 1/2 denarius.' His system of common currency continued for two hundred years.
