The Economy

This week we talked about property and how it creates a sense of ownership among Americans. Being a homeowner is one of the most important things for a lot of Americans. It bring s Americans into the political and legislative process. We are afforded the opportunities that capitalism affords us. In this day and age, especially with the economy the way it is, ownership is a great asset for most Americans.

We also looked at capitalism and how law has an effect on it. In my paper this week I used oil as an example. Most Americans percieve a correlation between big oil and current political posturing. The ybelieve politics and greed are dictating the policy in the US. Political rights and freedoms are dictated by the leadership of a country even in a democratic society. In a democratic society once politicians are elected they make laws. They have the power in their hands to craft policy for the country.
