This is the best I got: The best way to prove that slavery was in fact an inefficient market because the assumptions of Fogel and Engerman are weakly based and in some cases rather short-sighted.
Answer: The school board wants you to answer C) Agricultural Revolution, but that is incorrect.
The correct answer would be during the Neolithic Era, so none of the choices would be the right answer.
Explanation: During the Paleolithic Era, which corresponds to the old stone age, people were hunter-gatherers. This means that they obtained food by hunting animals and by gathering fruits, vegetables, and nuts from local plants. So options A and B are pretty much the same thing and incorrect.
Domestication and pastoralism developed during the Neolithic or new stone age when people discovered that, if they took care of certain plants, they would grow again and give them more food. Domestication is not the same thing as agriculture (even though the school system continues to teach it this way).
The Agricultural Revolution actually refers to a much later period in history, during the 18th century in Britain, when traditional agriculture went through a process of transformation. This is way after domestication and pastoralism.
Finally, option D is also incorrect because classical civilizations like Greece and Rome already had full-scale agriculture and had already gone through the process of domestication and pastoralism.
The colonists were unhappy with the way things were going. Each new tax was more of a burden than before and they eventually god fed up with it, which resulted with the Boston Tea Party, and the rest is history.
Answer: Unemployment insurance decreases frictional unemployment.
Explanation:
FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT
This is unemployment caused by people moving from one job to another. It is temporary and is part of the natural rate of unemployment.
Unemployment insurance does not reduce unemployment because to get unemployment insurance you have to be just that, unemployed. An unemployed person getting unemployment insurance is still unemployed.
Perhaps more concerning is that unemployment insurance might actually increase frictional unemployment. With people getting Unemployment Insurance they might take longer finding a job that they 'feel' suits them, in other words they become selective because they have a financial cushion to fall back on.
The correct answer is B. the death of millions of Russians in battle. World war I began in 1914, most of the Russian army was composed of the working class and peasant men, Russia's poorest class, so the majority of these troops had to go to battle under undesirable conditions. Many of them without shoes, food, and even weapons, causing in the death of millions of Russians in battle. The Russian people then, blamed the Tsar for entering the war and getting so many of their young men killed.
