    The board game Monopoly has been a source of entertainment for many years and millions of people have played it. It is even distributed in several countries, and in several languages. When one analyzes the game Monopoly it can be compared to a political-economic system. The game Monopoly can be compared to an obvious political-economic system: a monopoly. A monopoly is quite different than a market oriented enterprise. It is often thought that monopolies are evil. According to Charles Lindblom in Politics and Markets, political democracy is associated with market-oriented enterprise (Politics and Markets, 116). Lindblom, as well as other scholars often imply that monopolies are not a type of political-economic system that promotes political democracy. This is indeed correct. Monopolies undermine political democracy, and this can be seen by simply playing and analyzing the board game Monopoly. The remainder of this essay will take into account political and economic instruments that are essential to the set-up of the game Monopoly. The game will also be compared to monopolies that occur in reality. By the conclusion of this essay, one should understand how the game Monopoly does not represent a political-democracy with regards to Lindblom’s definition.…

    In this current era of globalization that is rapidly changing the way mankind live on a daily basis, ‘survival of the fittest’ is expeditiously becoming the mindset in each working man or woman. ‘Survival of the fittest’ in this context means that every working person is enduring the corporate world, doing anything to feed their rice bowls. This may be due to the current economic slowdown that is currently happening in different parts of the world that runs on various economic systems. Countries economic systems are either regulated or deregulated by the government. Nevertheless, both systems has its own pros and cons. Government intervention nor regulation, in economic terms is a process of promulgation or rules and restrictions being established by the main or delegated legislation (government). In other terms, the economic system is being controlled by the government. In contrary, government deregulation is the vice versa of government regulation. Relating government regulation with microeconomics, the main purpose of regulating the economy is to protect the consumers and employees’ rights. Using the U.S. as the main example, government intervention is principally practiced in order to safeguard employees' civil rights and protecting the environment.
