For this paper, it is writing to Compare and contrast two of the following major economists: Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Robert Malthus, John Stuart Mill, David Ricardo, Alfred Marshall, John Keynes with respect to one of the following:
1. growth/accumulation/stationary state
2. general gluts and recessions
3. theory of value
4. trade
5. determination of wages
6. monetary policy
I have attached PowerPoints about the above economists for reference as well as tips for the writing. The topic of this paper is to compare and contrast two of the economists above. There must have a thesis statement in the first paragraph and that statement should not be: “Smith and Marx have many similarities and many differences.” The statement should be analytical and argumentative. Address both similarities and differences. In order to make decisions about what to include, writers need to keep one thing in mind: relevance. Relevance helps determine which characteristics are worth comparing and contrasting.
