Voices on the Economy PDF Chapter 3: Policies for Conservative, Radical, and Liberal Perspectives

Overview of Paper Submission

Your paper submission will incorporate concepts introduced in the Voices on the Economy PDF (Chapter 3) posted earlier this semester. Chapter 3 presents three different points of view.

Conservative, Radical, and Liberal. You will present each of these points of view in a balanced, objective manner as you identify general macroeconomic policies OR policies for a specific policy area.

You will have a choice between identifying macroeconomic policies for our current situation or identifying specific policies for a specific policy area. At the bottom of this detailed description, I have embedded the chapter reading, two templates and a list of policy areas for you to consider. Below are the specifications and grading rubric for the assignment.

Structure/Content: See attached templates for details. For each of the three perspectives (Conservative, Radical and Liberal) provide the goals, specific policies and anticipated results. The goals and anticipated results should be presented in paragraph format. The policies should be listed as bulletized items.

Total Format:

As mentioned above, if you use APA format I'll be more than happy. But to prevent you from going overboard with formatting, let me clarify what I'm looking for: I want you to cite your source material within the body of your paper.

I'm not focused on spacing, marginals, headings or flourishes. Source material must be documented in your paper by citing author/date. Just listing the sources at the end of the paper is not sufficient. The underlying principle is that the ideas and words of others must be formally acknowledged in your paper.

To do this you want to mention the author/date in the body of the paper and include a list of references following your paper. If you are familiar with APA citation format, it fully captures what I want to see. Here are two general situations (each with single and multiple authors) to guide you:

A. When the names of a source are part of a sentence in your paper, the year of the publication you used should appear in parentheses following the author(s) name. This helps flag the citation and it allows you to easily use multiple works by the same author.

Consider the following examples:

Kelton (2020) has found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.

Kelton and Bejsovec (2020) have found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.

Kelton and others (2020) have found that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply.

B. When the names of a source are not part of a sentence in your paper but you have used their work, author name(s) and year of publication appear in parentheses.

Examples:

Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton and Bejsovec, 2020).

Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton and others, 2020).

Research has shown that inflation is not caused by an increase in the money supply (Kelton 2020) Following your paper, you'll list the sources
