government should not control the prices of important goods like gasoline The flexibility of goods is essential in any economy. It helps the economy to maintain the law of supply and demand. The production cost varies from time to time, which makes it necessary for the prices of the goods also to change. For instance, if the cost of production of bread rises, the price of the bread in the market will also rise to maintain profitability. Second, flexible pricing is essential to sellers when it comes to the issue of perishable goods. Instead of the products going into waste, the seller decides to sell them at a lower price, making them make profits. For instance, last-minute vacant airline seats are considered to be perishable goods. If an airline allows negotiations with its customers about them, there are high chances that the seats will be occupied. Lastly, naturally, customers like flexible pricing because it enables them to have bargaining power. In my opinion, the government should not control the prices of important goods like gasoline. The US is a free…

The industrial revolution The industrial revolution occurred in two phases; the first industrial revolution, which happened in the mid-18thcentury to about 1830. This phase of the first industrial revolution only occurred in Britain. The second phase occurred from the 19th century to the early 20thcentury. The second phase started in Britain and later on spread to North America, Europe, and Japan. Later on, in the 20thcentury, the revolution spread to other parts of the world. The first industrial revolution in Britain occurred because of the need to supply the necessities to the growing population. From the video,it was stimulated by the fact that Britain was rich in coal and iron deposits, which were the backbone of the revolution.

The two industries that pioneered the revolution were the iron and textile industries. The creation of the first looming wheels led the textile factory bloom, which replaced the…
The Accounting for Unpaid Work Project The Accounting for Unpaid Work Project is a progressive process that seeks to incorporate some of the activities that do not appear in the System of National Accounts (SNA). SNA refers to a standard set of recommendations that are internationally accepted on how to compile economic activity measures. Since its inception in 1947, several milestones have been made in SNA. Some of the recommendations are the inclusion of subsistence production as a measure of economic activity in 1966 and further revisions in 1993, and the inclusion of informal employment as well in the 2000s. The relationship between the Accounting for Unpaid Work Project and feminist economics is that despite the improvement milestones in both subsistence production and informal employment, there is a continued underestimation of women’s labor in both forms. Feminist economics believe that certain women activities such as domestic work, taking care of families, and raising children, are aspects of subsistence production that ought to be included in the SNA. Equally, feminist economics feel there is a deliberate effort to incorporate economic activities…
Experiences of The Immigrants in The US Taking this class has been the most enlightening session in my entire life. I have not only learned about immigration but also the reasons that spurred the migration and how the Japanese immigrants dwelled in the United States, the formation of ethnicities in the United States culture, the rise of racism. I also came to read about the immigration of the Chinese into California and the struggle of the government to rid some of the Chinese following the rise in populations, using the Chinese Exclusion Act Clause. From most of this ethnic immigration to the US, one thing is for sure, and the immigrants played a significant role in the development of the economy of the United States. Additionally, I also learned about identity generation from the reading, A Shocking Fact of Life, and I found the book intriguing, especially the choice of words that the narrator used in the story (Sone). Most interestingly, the narrator explained that he did not like the sudden change of events, following the discovery that he had…

For example, in 2016, the current account deficit stood at $33.1 billion, which then increased to $47.3 billion in 2017. In 2018, the current account deficit increased to $51.6 billion.
