Why is national defense an example of a public good?

History

Masja [62]3 years ago

One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. To the extent one person in a geographic area is defended from foreign attack or invasion, other people in that same area are likely defended also. This makes it hard to charge people for defense, which means that defense faces the classic free-rider problem. Indeed, almost all economists are convinced that the only way to provide a sufficient level of defense is to have government do it and fund defense with taxes. ~ Hope this helped!

The second aspect of public goods is what economists call “nonrivalrous consumption.” ... If the good is excludable, private entrepreneurs will try to serve as many fee-paying customers as possible, charging lower prices to some customers if need be. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense.

What were the major tenets of john f. kennedy's presidential platform?
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The major tenets of John F. Kennedy's presidential platform were the following.

One of the most important tenets was "get America moving again." This was an important tenet of his platform because Kennedy considered that the Republicans and former President Eisenhower could not do much against the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the arms race, and the space race. Kennedy acknowledged that the US was behind the USSR in the space race and something had to be done, and quickly.

Another important factor of Kennedy's platform was the issue of civil rights, which Kennedy openly supported and gained the sympathy of many voters from African Americans and other minorities.

19. What was the topic of the book The Other America?
umka21 [38]

Poverty was widespread in America.

Away from the nation's affluent suburbs was another country, one inhabited by the poor, the ill-fed, the ill-housed, and the ill-educated. This was the assertion made by author Michael Harrington in his 1962 book, <em>The Other America: Poverty in the United States.</em>  Harrington's book had an impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.  President Johnson's "Great Society" plans aimed to address the problems of poverty in America.

The design feature of Hagia Sophia that is considered the most daring is the main dome encircled by a band of forty windows.

Explanation

Hagia Sophia is consideed by  many as the masterpeice of Bryzantine architecture and it is located in Turkey. The daring feature of the masterpeice is doubtlessly the central dome which is 184 feet high and has a diameter 102 feet. The very fact that the huge dome sits on pendentives and not on a flat solid base makes the structure a daring one.

Pendentives are supporting arches at square corners makes a circular plan possible. The main dome can be called a succession of smaller domes because the arches at east and west are extended by half domes that rest on even smaller portecos.
