Economics - December 2006

I am a PHD student and found this question on another part of this website. It is not my homework, but it is rather vague. I would be more interested in peoples' explanations for their answers. Thanks.

We know why "pure" capitalism failed. We also know "pure" communism never existed. Socialist regimes have been discouraging, too.
Today, it seems that America has a market driven "socialism" going on..........and I think it's pretty good. However, it occurs to me that success here only results from competition and the promise of ever greater wealth, promotions, or (fill-in-the-blank). All these things are tied to sales "growth".
How can we continue to live well, meet our future goals, have "ENOUGH" and get off of this "GROWTH" standard we're addicted too?
Considering the global warming that is occuring, the future of our planet may depend on it!

I'm confused. He delivers private property to good boys and girls. But he doesn't charge money. He rewards everyone, whether or not they are productive. He delivers TO each according to their needs, but expects nothing FROM them...

An interesting thing about traditional micro-economical theory is a formal similarity between the theory of consumer behaviour and the theory of production(theory of a firm)Discuss.

Recently, the CEO of Goldman Sachs got a bonus of over 50 million dollars. Why people need that much money baffles me, given the high levels of poverty in our world. If we imposed a salary cap on individuals (and a cap on corporate profits), assuming there's no constitutional barrier to doing so, would owners of companies have an incentive to pay their workers more? For instance, if we capped Donald Trump's salary and his corporation's profits, would he pay his lowest-wage earners more or would he simply lose the motivation to push his corporation to make money? Is it possible to convince capitalists to make more money not for their own profit, but to raise wages for low-income Americans?

What would happen to the stock market if a meteor impacted the earth? What would happen to the global markets and the U.S. market? Say a meteor hits inside U.S. borders and takes out two states.

I've read we're 8 trillion dollars in debt...that's a lot of money, yet it seems our economy is oblivious to it...like student loans over 23,000 dollars. I was curious what's to become of this, and with such debt, would we have to ....oh start over from scratch as if the debt never existed? Or we can't and the next generation will have to answer for it? I don't know much about the situation, so i'm interested in knowing what's up.

ALSO on my search i found this page....so i'm curious if that's a legit solution for the deficit: http://www.federalbudget.com/amendment.htm
