I was wondering what stories would be easiest to understand, but would also have a good amount of economic ideologies. TIA
You could take the easy way out and talk about Alice in Wonderland and the gold standard, silver standard, money supply, and legality of drugs.
Hey buddy, I am doing my own work. A) I'm not asking ANYONE to write my paper, especially you. B) The internet has become a forum for people to come and share ideas, and that's what I'm doing. C) When people give me ideas, I plan to research them in order to gain insight on what they're talking about rather than just write what they're saying. If school exists for people to gain knowledge, and to gain a love of learning, then what I'm doing is not only ALLOWED, but it should be ENCOURAGED, because without the transmission of ideas, academia is useless. We can use ancient Greece or Rome as a great example of this - people would go to these Universities, and share knowledge, ideas, and that's where most of our current philosophies came from. If Thomas Jefferson "did his own work" we wouldn't have Locke's philosophies that came at time, word for word from Locke's second treatise on government.
Man, if you spent half as much time on your homework as you did on this rant. You can drop a Jefferson/Locke analogy; but you can't come up with... Merchant of Venice - Credit, Conspicuous consumption, unethical contracts, usury, assertion of social, political and personal agendas through judiciary and economic means; and a healthy dollop of anti-Semitism and anti-Islamic stereotyping. Also a touch point for a good discussion about Renaissance era lending laws and how they helped created modern Merchant and investment banking. Pied Piper - Credit and Repossession King Midas - Greed Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs/Million Dollar Duck - Greed; your call if you want to drop an Aesop fable or a Sandy Duncan reference. The Crucible - Minor subplot about Thomas Putnam's economic enrichment by accusing "witches," getting them executed and buying their land for cheap at an auction (which is believed to have happened during the actual Salem witch trials).
You're right, I guess that was a little uncalled for. But, in response to your post, thanks for all the information!
