Post for Mon 4/2
For Monday, April 2, please read the following essay and then post to your blog. You should remark on the major points of the essay and what potential theories of/for behavior existed in the essay (ones that you might be able to apply to your own research for Paper 4).
Paul Theobald's "Education and Proliferation of New Concepts" addresses the different theories involving education and a nation's economic output. Theobald highlights several theories about how different education schemes and economic personas of a community correlated with that same community's economic activity. One economic theory that struck my interest in this article is known as "No- Growth" economics. This theory suggests that a community can maintain a healthy lifestyle by producing and consuming at rate in their is no surplus or shortage of resources within a certain community. This style of economics ensures that their is no physical growth within a community. This theory suggests that this way of market activity gives a community piece of mind in knowing that they are living sustainably, and will be for the remainders of their lives.
This way of economic activity also ensure that the populations of communities abiding by the "No- Growth" theory will not grow. This fact is related to my topic of Paper #4, which is Overpopulation's effect on the Economy. This article provides insightful quotes from PhD Economics about this theory and how a large population effects the dynamics of this theory. This article paraphrases a selection written of Economist John Mill in 1988 that discloses Mill's view on having a balance between population levels and economic activity. I plan on including this in my fourth paper because my economic views are similar to Mill's views.
