Class Summary 09/23

Population Growth Stimulates Economic Growth- We Are Better Off Than Ever Before.
  • Recently everything is healthier, cleaner, and safer. EVERY resource is now more abundance and cheaper than when we were born. All of this is improving because of population growth and economic growth. 
  • Standards of living are also improving greatly. There are more people on Earth than ever before and we are being nicer to each other, although it may not seem that way at first glance. 
Standards of Living Improvements: 

Freedom for Minorities
-Markets are made for minorities
Freedom Itself
-Commerce is also important for freedom itself.
-Advances in liberty (Racial Segregation, Immigration) were helped by media and commercialization.

Question to Think About:
Does money and being rich make you happy? Has all of this economic growth and need for "stuff" ruined our psyche?
