History

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

1. Private Property. Most goods and services are privately-owned. The owners can make legally-binding contracts to buy, sell, or lease their property. In other words, their assets give them the right to profit from ownership. But U.S. law excludes some assets. Since 1865, you cannot buy and sell human beings. That includes you, your body, and your body parts.

(Source: "Market Economy," University of Auburn.)

2. Freedom of Choice. Owners are free to produce, sell and purchase goods and services in a competitive market. They only have two constraints. First, is the price at which they are willing to buy or sell. Second is the amount of capital they have.

3.

Motive of Self-Interest. Everyone sells their wares to the highest bidder while negotiating the lowest price for their purchases. Although the reason is selfish, it benefits the economy over the long run. That's because this auction system sets prices for goods and services that reflect their market value. It gives an accurate picture of supply and demand at any given moment.

According to woolf, what act would have been impossible for the women of the 17th century to accomplish?
Brums [2.3K]
The idea that modern science took place as a kind a revolution has been debated among historians. A weakness of the idea of scientific revolution is the lack of a systematic approach to the question of knowledge in the period comprehended between the 14th and 17th centuries, leading to misunderstandings on the value and role of modern authors. From this standpoint, the continuity thesis is the hypothesis that there was no radical discontinuity between the intellectual development of the Middle Ages and the developments in the Renaissance and early modern period and has been deeply and widely documented by the works of scholars like Pierre Duhem, John Hermann Randall, Alistair Crombie and William A. Wallace, who proved the preexistence of a wide range of ideas used by the followers of the scientific revolution thesis to substantiate their claims.
