Social Psychology and the Sustainable Future

/in /by

I will download the chapter Social Psychology and the Sustainable Future and you have to read this chapter.
Step 2:

Read your chosen chapter.

I suggest you look at the outline and then read the chapter, taking notes on each section along the way. Write page numbers so you can easily revisit specific parts. Put quotes around words taken directly from the text and give the page number in parentheses before the end of the sentence. You can do the SmartBook questions for points later, but I think you will get a better understanding of the chapter as a whole by reading it thoroughly rather than in the way MH guides you through the reading, skipping through certain main points. The stories in between may inspire the most thought and growth, which brings us to the next step….
Step 3:

Reflect, select & apply

Step 4:

Turn in graded elements.

[See each assignment in the project module for detailed instructions.]

Part 1: List the 3 points you personally found most compelling, interesting, useful or 

              surprising. Use full sentences.

Part 2: Summarize the main points of the chapter in your own words. Explain as you would to an  interested person who is not in the course.

Part 3: Take two points to explore more deeply.

Provide relevant definitions/theory/content from the text
Provide example(s) that demonstrate your understanding of the poi
Part 5: Make a short discussion board post sharing useful information about your

          chosen chapter for the benefit of your classmates who may have chosen a

          different chapter. What one nugget of information are you bursting to share?

From Where do we get the savings to fund investment?

Discussion: From Where do we get the savings to fund investment?

This chart from the Federal Reserve in St. Louis
(Links to an external site.)
shows the US Personal Saving rate since 1960. It has been pretty volatile, between about 2.5 and 15%.
Here is the National Saving rate trend
(Links to an external site.)
, which is personal plus the federal budget balance (which in the US has been mostly negative since the mid-70s). Since 1960 it has mostly ranged between 2 and 12%, but was negative during the Great Depression & the Great Recession.
Here is a trend chart of US Gross and Net Private Domestic Investment
(Links to an external site.)
(Gross Domestic Investment equals “I” in GDP), which has been between 10 & 16% since 1960.
The difference between “I” and the sum of the previous two numbers (by definition) comes from an influx of foreign saving into the United States. This inflow is and must be exactly equal to the US trade deficit — that is where our foreign investment comes from. Here is that trend for the US in a document from the International Monetary Fund
(Links to an external site.)
.
So… Is it OK that a lot of US private investment is funded by foreign governments? How would we change it so that US citizens fund more US investment? (hints: a strong US economy and/or a strong US dollar makes the deficit BIGGER, not smaller, and larger government deficits make the trade deficit LARGER) Use external sources.
