Labaree’s framework for thinking about education

/in /by

  1. David Labaree argues that the primary problem with American education is a political one in which education is increasingly defined as a private, rather than public good.
    1a. Do you agree with Labaree’s general thesis?
    1b. How does Labaree’s argument about education as a “private good” relate to Professor Arum’s discussion of Weber and social stratification?
    1c. What questions would you ask that critically engage the reading?
  2. The goals for schooling change based on the historical context. Evidence of this can be seen in Horace Mann’s “Twelfth Annual Report” to the Massachusetts Legislature (1848),and then in the change from the Committee of 10 Report in 1893 to the Cardinal Principles of Secondary Education in 1918.
    What goals for public schooling are advocated in these primary sources?
    How do these goals fit into Labaree’s framework for thinking about education as a public or private good?

Bank runs and panics

/in /by

Keeping your money in a bank seems like a good idea. However, from time to time, depositors lose confidence in banks. In chapter 14 we learned that when many people lose confidence in a bank at the same time it is called a bank run , and when this happens to many banks at the same time it is called a bank panic. Runs and panics typically occur following the realization that banks may have made bad loans, and may be unable to provide depositors with access to their funds. So it’s clear that there is some risk in keeping your money at a bank.

If your bank was experiencing a run, would you join in, or would you be confident that the FDIC would be there to insure your account?
Since the European Union does not have a unified banking system (and possibly other reasons) there is no deposit insurance at most European banks. If you had a bank account in Europe, would you be more, less, or equally as likely to participate in a bank run?
If it was a panic instead of a run, would you feel safe? Why or why not?

Economic growth

/in /by

We have described economic growth as a function of increased worker productivity, and have argued that worker productivity has risen due to increased levels of capital and technology. We have argued that the more capital a country has, the more it will be able to produce. This is true on a macro level, but also on a micro level that is, our individual productivity also increases when we acquire machines that help us be productive.

What machine(s) do you use in your daily life that help(s) you be more productive? Please be specific.
Without this/these machine(s), what would you be unable to produce or do? Would you have to give up some leisure activities?
Can you think of any machines that you could buy (thereby accumulating more capital), that would help you produce more? Would you be likely to experience diminishing returns? Why or why not?
