The justification is that certain interests, and perhaps philosophies, are typically "underrepresented" in government and politics. Giving the permission of the theoretically knowledgeable analyst, in the name of fairness and democracy, the right the balance. (examples: taxpayers whose interests may be squeezed out by better-organized advocacy groups , future generations, children, people who live outside the jurisdiction making the decisions, ethnic and racial minorities, women, the poor, consumers, and animals and ecological entities).

In this case, the analyst takes responsibility for opening up a dialogue, and perhaps for trying to infuse it with reason and insight, but then allows the political process to take over. 3) The distribution of "rights" precludes some solutions and forwards others.- Generally, claims based on rights are a reasonable guide to choosing "better" policies, and rights-based criteria deserve some extra weighting. Exceptions include rights specially protected claims of an individual or a group against encroachment by "others," including society as a whole, rights more emergent than established: obviously legitimate to us being merely the (so-far) best established and (probably) most socially beneficial. For example, "the right to privacy" or "the right to control your own body," should evolve to fit new social and technological conditions. Technological change raises questions of privacy and transparency (e.g., confidentiality and fairness), and the past structure of rights is not necessarily a good guide to how to redesign that structure for the emergent situation. Decent health care, privacy, abortion, and a host of other matters that now or in the recent past have been subject to debate over who ought to have what sort of highly protected positions that we dignify and crystallize as rights.

Why or why not?} \tn \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{\hspace*{6 px}\rule{2px}{6px}\hspace*{6 px}The prevalence of income inequality in free market economies indicates that inequality may be the result of a market failure. Why or why not? • In a "free" market, it is believed, all individuals possess an equal opportunity to succeed, but due to a mis-allocation of resources in a purely market economy, this may not always be the case. • Whenever a market failure exists, it can be argued that there is a role for government in regulating the market to achieve a more optimal distribution of resources. When it comes to income inequality, government intervention typically comes in the form of a tax system that places a larger burden on the rich, and a system of government programs that transfer income from the rich to poor, including welfare benefits, unemployment benefits, healthcare for low income households, public schools and support for economic development in poor communities. • Goodwin: • "Value" in economic terms is synonymous with price. The social preferences that are visible to standard economic analysis are what economic actors in a society are able and willing to pay for. Demand is ultimately dependent on consumer demand; that is, firms may demand parts and other inputs from suppliers, and raw materials from primary industries, but they only do so on the expectation that the final products will be bought by consumers. The only consumer demands for goods and services that are visible to the standard economic model are those that are backed up by a consumer's ability to pay. This has several implications. • There is nothing in the model that assures that resources are distributed in such a way that people can meet their basic human needs. • poverty vs education correlation • points to federal tax issues upon the rich. • If we look at counties where income inequality has grown the most, we see the largest income inequality-growth counties are where the divorce rates have risen most rapidly-{}-that's where the factors that marriage counselors always cite, couples they see, financial trouble. The bigger the income inequality growth, the bigger the divorce rates, the bankruptcy filings, long commute times-{}-that's another margin families use when they can't make ends meet. Whole cavalcade of costs experienced by the guy in the middle. So: where is the data? It's there that you see the data on the shadow of income inequality.} \tn % Row Count 53 (+ 53) % Row 1 \SetRowColor{white} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{15.

Bureaucratic budget maximization (Butler, p. 89F90) simple proxy for all the other things that go with a large and growing budget – such as job security, promotion prospects, salary increases… → bureaucrats are able to maximize their own benefit within whichever budget is established by the political power; with large budgets they simply take on new functions and demand more money, with small budgets they limit their output and ensure that money sticks with them rather than being spent on projects. Bureaucrats have no personal interest in saving money, and every incentive to invent new work-streams and social programs → large bargaining power of bureaucratic infrastructure d. Rational ignorance (Butler, p. 52F53) In politics there is a significant uncertainty about costs and benefits, and the minuscule chance that individual person's vote will have a real and predictable effect on the election→ some electors think that it is simply not worth their time and effort to become well informed on the candidates or their policies.} \tn % Row Count 40 (+ 40) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}-} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} % That's all folks \end{multicols*} \end{document}
