Problems Facing the U.S Healthcare System Part 1
During Trump’s first year, Paul Ryan attempted to pass two healthcare bills, both of which were rejected in the House and vehemently opposed by the public. Healthcare is a major issue that Trump must address. This is because if the U.S reduced health expenditures (public and private), this would make it much easier for Trump to cut taxes further and/or spend $1trn on infrastructure without increasing the deficit.
Trade, Regulations and Immigration: The Case for a Hard Brexit
The House of Commons and Theresa May now have the difficult task of negotiating Britain’s withdrawal from the EU – namely whether the UK should negotiate a soft Brexit or a hard one. This article argues that the UK should adopt a full withdrawal from the EU and also lists policy recommendations for the UK government to adopt once they have left. Most politicians in the UK (both Labour and Conservative) believe that the UK must stay in the customs union because of the benefits of free trade.

Trump’s Aggressive Foreign Policy Is Setting America Back
Only 12 months ago, it would have been unthinkable for the United States Government to openly threaten financial retribution to nations that voted against its actions at the United Nations General Assembly. Even more unthinkable would it be for a mixture of nations, including allies such as the United Kingdom and Germany to ignore such threats, with others like Canada and Australia opting to abstain. To make matters worse, Trump’s foreign policy is highly reactionary.
US Infrastructure Investment: Betrayed by GOP Tax Reform?
Probably the most important campaign promise now slated for sacrifice on the altar of Republican tax reform is President Donald Trump’s fabled infrastructure plan. It is clear with the release of the GOP’s final draft that the massive tax cut for big businesses, friends, family and the few other Americans that share in the extraordinary wealth of the top one percent won’t leave anything for investment in new airports, roads, bridges, hospitals and other essential public assets.
Shopping for Legal Cannabis Around the World
Legal, recreational cannabis – often better known as marijuana – is coming to Canada in July 2018. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned on legalisation, and it looks like he will fulfil that promise. But how will Canadians obtain that cannabis? Off-licences, known there as liquor stores. Nova Scotia, an eastern province, has decided to sell legal cannabis in liquor stores. The Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. (NSLC), its sole alcohol distributor, also will make the drug available on its website.
Consumer Demand: A Genuine Driver of Economic Prosperity and Jobs? - The Market Mogul
Nick Hanauer is a billionaire investor-entrepreneur who advocates taxing the wealthy and implementing a higher minimum wage so that the middle-class can gain more income. If households have more money to consume, this will increase the demand for goods and services, leading to an increase in demand for employees. Nick has it the wrong way round. Consumers have to first receive income in order to buy any good or service.
The Swedish Economy: More Myth than Reality? - The Market Mogul
Sweden is an extremely wealthy country but unlike many other industrialised countries, the nation is considered a socialist utopia and many politicians in other countries want to emulate it. Economic growth is correlated and likely caused by economic freedom in the long term. Sweden became very wealthy because of free markets.
The Case For a 100% Gold Currency - The Market Mogul
The gold standard is a system where the nation’s money supply is determined by the supply of gold that is mined. Over time we have had different types of gold standard economies and countries have even suspended the gold standard during wars (e.g.: WWI). Until WWI the world had the international gold standard. The price of gold was set at $20.67/oz. After the breakdown of the gold standard in the 1930s, the Bretton Woods Agreement from 1945 to 1971 was not exactly a gold standard.
Why We'd Be Better Off Living in the 1950s - The Market Mogul
Proponents of government and opponents of free markets point out that the Golden Age of the 1950s and 1960s was a time of high economic growth and lower income inequality and since the 1980s, growth has fallen, inequality is higher, the middle class is shrinking, hence disproving the neo-liberal experiment. This article will argue that the 1950s were, in fact, the libertarian/conservative dream as opposed to the liberal dream.
US Healthcare: Could a Free Market System Work? - The Market Mogul
For the last few months, Republicans have had trouble coming up with a replacement plan for US healthcare. The main problem with the Republicans’ proposal is that it only partially repeals Obamacare. Another is that US healthcare has seen rising costs since the late 60s, meaning that reform has to go past merely repealing Obamacare. Obamacare is a symptom of the US healthcare system, namely the fact that insurance companies are an integral part of it.
The German Trade Surplus: A Blessing or a Curse? - The Market Mogul
Germany has consistently run a current account surplus (trade surplus), which is this year expected to run to 8.7% of GDP. Germany is also experiencing greater foreign exchange reserves, and its euro reserves have doubled since 2008. Although the nation has among the highest wages in the developed world, it also has the most competitive and vibrant manufacturing sector. This is primarily because of its high savings rate as a percentage of GDP.
Soaring Fees: Breaking Down the US Student Debt Crisis - The Market Mogul
Since 1982, US college tuition fees have risen by 500%, which is significantly faster than inflation. As a result, middle-class families are suffering as they struggle to send their children to university. Accordingly, the estimated student debt in the U.S has reached $1.3trn, with student debt default rates at over 10%. In the last 10 years alone, tuition prices have gone up by almost 50%. A lot of the blame can be placed on the Department of Education, which was created in 1980.
