Group of answer choices Economics tells us that there is no theoretical limit to how well we can live or how widely our wealth can spread. The economic prosperity of an economy requires that every person in that economy have a Ph.D. degree. Wheelan argues that the free market system does not make poverty inevitable. Economic development is not a zero-sum game. Even the most prosperous economy will contiue to require certain manual tasks that do not require advanced college degrees. These tasks cannot be replaced with automation. Expecting Ph.D.s or people with professional education to do such tasks will have a high opportunity cost.arrow_forward"Vernon Smith started a series of experiments to see whether basic predictions of the standard economic model about markets would prove correct.

- In this chapter on page 61 the passage describes British scholar W. D. Ross, who rejected utilitarianism as an ethical approach. Ross felt that utilitarianism was too simplistic and did not align with how people ordinarily think about morality and obligations in real-world situations. The quote indicates that while utilitarianism provides a basic framework, Ross believed a more complex account was needed to capture ethics adequately in a diverse society. Different normative theories have their strengths and limitations, and reasonable people can disagree on these complex philosophical issues. Essentially, I believe in the golden rule which encourages people to have empathy, goodwill, and respect toward all others. It promotes ethical and considerate behavior by appealing to our own self-interest in fair and compassionate treatment. please help resond to this discussion postarrow_forwardWhat are the different effects of MARKET FAILURE on humans, society, and the economy?
