Abstract
This paper discusses how economic systems are extremely complex structures that are often characterized by perpetual change. It attempts to define and characterize the economic systems of pure capitalism, communism, socialism and mixed economy. It examines some of the concepts of pure capitalism and shows how a communist economy is a system in which the majority of the resources and means of production are owned by the entire society instead of individuals. It also describes how a socialist economy demands state ownership and control of the all of the fundamental means of production and distribution of wealth and how a mixed economy incorporates the principles of both capitalism and socialism.
From the Paper
"There are several characteristics of capitalism. In a capitalistic economy the machines, buildings and equipment used to produce goods are privately owned. (?Capitalism?) In addition, the buyers and sellers within the market dictate the manner in which the goods and services are bought and sold. Capitalism also employs the concept known as consumer sovereignty. Consumer sovereignty mandates that consumers have the right to spend the money that they earn in any way that they see fit. Consumer sovereignty also creates competition among producers. Competition ensures that consumers will get the types of products that they desire. Price is determined by supply and demand. When the demand for a product is greater than the supply of that product the price increases. Likewise if the supply of a product is greater than the demand the price decreases."

"Also there are more corporate crimes in the US economy these days and are growing with time as these corporate become more powerful and integrated in the political system (Saugstad, 2001). In times of economic crises corporate crimes are committed in order to escape government regulations, taxes, to push out the competitors and to take charge of markets, to get hold of low cost, quicker labor, and to get the right to use raw materials. Also there is more embezzlement in this economy as managers and professionals try to find their way towards achieving middle class status and to maintain it in the face of such problems like divorce, competition, economic slumps and other fiscal problems which includes a status dread which builds up before the retirement period, since in a capitalist scheme, everyone has to look after their own future."

French governments, irrespective of their political affiliation, have always aimed at rational, efficient, economic development, with the long term objectives of the highly developed, technologically advanced economy of the United States. This paper examines the history of the French economic system from 1981 and shows how it has evolved into the system of today.
From the Paper
"Irrespective of continuous reforms and privatization during the last two decades, the government continues to regulate a large portion of economic behavior. This is no more confined to the field of health care and education but also economic activities like banking and energy generation and distribution. Railways are apparently state monopoly and the telecom sector has maximum state equity. The government economic policy has the objective of fostering investment and growth in a stable monetary and fiscal regime."

"Quite clearly, good intentions and high ideals originally brought about the creation of the welfare system. However, the creation of the welfare system also created a perpetual state of welfare when the system suddenly snatched the supports from beneath the many who were dependent on this system without placing supports that would aid those who were dependent in finding true independence and ultimately has perpetuated the need for assistance throughout the United States that extends into several generations of individuals."

Abstract
Stakeholders in the U.S. health care system include private and public purchasers of health plans, physicians, hospitals, clinics, health plans, consumers, and public health programs. Each stakeholder wants quick access to information for a variety of reasons. The paper shows that, in light of these important issues, information systems in the health care environment is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. The paper examines the benefits as well as the disadvantages of the health care industry's move towards dependence on IS. It also presents information on proposed legislation to protect medical records and patient confidentiality.
From the Paper
"The intertwined issues of security, privacy, and confidentiality have drawn increased attention to and public unease with the growing use of technology in health care. In 1996, HIPAA mandates included the enactment of federal laws and regulations against unauthorized access to electronically stored or transmitted patient records and misuse of personal health information. These new security standards were designed to protect all electronic health information from improper access, alteration, or loss. The proposed regulations include technical guidance and administrative requirements for those who use, maintain, or transmit electronic health information."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

Abstract
The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s was not a movement for equality in the social or political sense; rather, it was a movement to bring an end to economic inequality and exploitation by the elites. Common perception holds that the Civil Rights movement sought to gain certain political and social rights and equalities. Measures such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act reinforced such flawed perceptions. However, when the works of the leaders of the Civil Rights movement are consulted, it is discovered that they were seeking economic equality. They believed that the fundamental cause of racism was a flawed economic system. It is important to note that they did not believe that poverty in the traditional sense caused racism and inequality. They believed, especially King and Carmichael, that the entire economic system of the United States and of the world was inherently flawed. This essay explore? their arguments why racism was based on economics, why the system was flawed, and how they hoped to change the system.

Abstract
This paper discusses the similarities and differences between the 'stories' of British economic involvement in the West Indies and in the Indian subcontinent between 1750 and 1860. The paper looks at the uniqueness and complexity of each economic system and how British economic involvement in the territories forged a new 'British identity', based on the goods imported at the time.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, a major difference between the economic involvement of Britain in the West Indies and India, at least in some historian's eyes, is the nature of the influence of entrepreneurial figures. For instance, Cain and Hopkins regularly use the term Gentlemanly Capitalism to describe British economic involvement in India. The term is extremely subjective, but it can be understood to refer to a new and 'respectful' kind of Capitalism, based on the existing system of Indian capitalism as well as meaning a gentlemanly pursuit of new forms of commercial activity, such as finance, away from traditional land-owning and industry. This form of an economic aim or economic involvement did not exist in the West Indies; in fact the economic aim was diametrically opposed to that of India. In the West Indies, 'Gentlemanly' conduct was not in the economic lexicon; simply only what was economically viable. This was the case because of the very different nature of commercial activity there. Slavery was, intrinsically, a base, brutish practice, which involved the desensitising of both profiteers and victims; slaves were viewed as a commodity or chattel, while status was not based on the type of economic activity engaged in, e.g. finance, but on the amount of slaves a member of the 'plantocracy' had amassed."

" Thailand's Economic Crisis and the
"Triangle of Impossibility" Economic Model
Introduction
The "Triangle of Impossibility" economic model theorizes that it is dangerous, if not impossible for a small economy to maintain three desirable (politically) yet contradictory national goals. When it does, the end result is a macroeconomic crisis like the one currently going on in Thailand today (Na Thalang, 1997, 14). The three paths that Thailand is pursuing, suggests Na Thalang, are a fixed foreign exchange regime, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy. After a brief economic snapshot of Thailand, these three divergent paths will be explored to determine if: A) the theory is valid, and B) if it.."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper answers questions about economic theory beginning with Karl Marx and Adam Smith and showing different conceptions of social class and the division of labor between them. The paper then considers some of the meanings of capital in the capitalist system and notes how capitalism is defined, based on various theorists and on the writings of Adam Smith and Karl Marx.
From the Paper
"Adam Smith stated the liberal position in writings such as "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations." Smith recommended freeing the economy from the control of the state. At the time, the mercantilist system prevailed by which the state regulated prices and the conditions of manufacture for goods. Smith argued that the free forces of the marketplace should shape economic decisions and Smith was the primary advocate of the French view of laissez faire, or letting the economy run on its own. The division of labor was discussed as a manifestation of natural trends and tendencies that also should be allowed to develop on their own. Marx wrote about the class system and the creation of a new class in society."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although political and economic systems of the United States and Japan are very similar now, until the end of the Second World War, they were very different especially because of Japan's isolation as a nation over two millennium. The author points out that both economic systems are market-economies, which are moving into the Information Age, display adaptability and are trending towards deregulation. The paper relates that four political parties compete for seats in Japans Parliament just as American political parties compete for seats in Congress; however, unlike in the United States, Japan's prime minister is elected by majority vote in the Parliament's House of Representatives and House of Councilors.
From the Paper
"Japan's form of constitutional democracy has been described as a constitutional monarchy, but the emperor has no real power and essentially serves as a ceremonial head of state. Governing power is in the hands of the Prime Minister and Parliament in Tokyo. This parliamentary system in Japan differs from the federal government system in the United States, which features a presidential system comprised of three equal branches of government: an executive branch headed by the chief executive, a bicameral legislative branch, and a judicial branch."
"
"Both economic systems are market-economies, are moving into the Information Age, and have experienced recent downturns in their economies. But both have displayed adaptability and trends towards deregulation, and these elements, along with the strong cultural work ethic in Japanese and American employees, bode well for the future economic prosperity of Japan and the United States."

"HOSPITALS AS HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
Introduction
Changes in the health care system, financial responsibility shifts, technical medical advances, and medical care rationing are among the factors that are driving health care providers of all stripes toward affiliations that in turn become health care systems (Tong, 1995, p. 165). This research examines the trend toward hospitals transforming themselves into health care systems, the motivations for such transformations, the practicalities of achieving such transformations, and the implications associated with the transformation of hospitals into health care systems.
