Inflation and unemployment Inflation and unemployment are some of the most challenges that affect many nations. According to Yolanda, 2017; Behera & Mishra, 2017, both inflation and unemployment affect economic activities such as export, investment, saving, economic growth, and poverty. For example, inflation declines the social welfare level. On the other hand, low inflation has the potential of lowering the economic growth rate, decreasing job opportunities, inclining poverty and gradually result in a recession. According to Behera and Mishra (2017), inflation has a positive effect on gross domestic products hence reducing the level of unemployment?  Minisi & Pantina, 2017 state that unemployment rates are influenced by other social factors such as insecurity, economic growth and so forth. Unemployment continues to be a critical challenge in the economic growth and development of many countries. This has resulted in researchers developing the different frameworks of unemployment evolution and factors that affect (Helpman et al., 2010). Long fluctuation in unemployment is most common in shorter business cycles.  Short-term economic challenges such as unemployment and inflation have been noted to be the most macroeconomic…

John Locke and Marx John Locke and Marx have placed property and labor at the center of their theoretical models, yet their theories are wholly different. While Locke claims that Labor does confer the private property right, making private property preservation a cortical element of his political theories. Marx thinking that the labor of the proletariats is usually exploited by capitalist production system and capitalism will always alienate people from their labor. As such, Marx has defended the theory which is aiming at eliminating alienation and exploitation through the means of production that enhances public control, John Locke ha portrayed people in the natural state before money was created as needing work so that they cud survive. Human beings require work gather and store food, hunt, build, weapons, obtain clothes, and others, human beings are never born with shelter, cotes, weaponry, compared to animals, human beings also lack the extreme strength that animals have too.

Human Capital Investment and Employment             Human capital investment is a critical factor in determining the marginal labor productivity of an individual and his/her income; that is, the added productivity per hour of hiring an extra employee (Young, 2019). Education increases one’s employability, and the salary one can get from a specific job. College education, for instance, equips people with skills and knowledge vital for the delivery of work in diverse job specifications. Depending on the demand and supply of labor in different industries, education in various disciplines increases one’s probability of getting a job in that industry at different rates. A key concept in workforce employment is unemployment. The higher it is, the less likely that one will get a job in the desired field. Different forms of unemployment exist. The following are some of the main types. Disguised unemployment occurs when one’s job does not lead to the complete utilization of skills and knowledge. In other words, the employee would have offered more into the position. This kind of unemployment leads to the loss of money that the…

The Theory of Invisible Hands Adam Smith introduced the term “invisible hands” in 1776. He argued that there exists an unforeseen force in the market that aids in balancing the demand and supply (Karlson, 2017). Smith adds that people are likely to apply their resources where they are likely to receive the highest return. He also suggested that, if people could be allowed to trade freely, self-centred traders would venture into activities, to increase the gain to capital, while enhancing market productivity (Stiglitz, 1991). However, these individual actions result in unforeseen consequences that benefit society. Although some economists have criticized Smith’s arguments, the theory has proved meaningful because most economies today result from unintended consequences that he postulated. Modern economists argue that the unintended benefits associated with the invisible hands have four significant features (Aydinonat, 2009). First, the consequences of the invisible hand must relate to a social phenomenon and felt at the macro-level. Secondly, individuals have to make independent decisions in response to the market forces of supply and demand. Lastly, the decisions must never be communal. The actions…
