Political Language And Trust: A Study In Machiavelli And Hobbes, Lauren Wenzel Jan 1984

Political Language And Trust: A Study In Machiavelli And Hobbes, Lauren Wenzel

Honors Papers

It is not possible to discuss politics without assuming a degree, however minimal, of trust. To deny the existence of any trust at all is to assume, as Hobbes does, a war, whether hot or cold, of all against all. While it is possible for people to live in such a condition, they cannot live together in any sense that can be called political. Even in societies which are divided into hostile groups, people either align themselves with a group, expressing their loyalty to its goals. Alternatively, they may withdraw from the political sphere, rejecting it completely, or wait until …

Determining The Consumption Effects Of Announced Permanent And Temporary Tax Cuts In Accordance With The Permanent Income Hypothesis, Aileen Liu Jan 1984

Determining The Consumption Effects Of Announced Permanent And Temporary Tax Cuts In Accordance With The Permanent Income Hypothesis, Aileen Liu

Honors Papers

For several years, economists have been debating how well Federal tax policy changes have performed in readjusting the economy. Tax change policies have been instituted periodically since World War II up to the very present. The goals sought by the legislators have varied. The tax cut policy in the Kennedy administration was set up to invigorate a recessionary economy. Under the Reagan administration, tax cuts are a tool to increase savings and investment. Part of the reason for the inconsistency in policy aims is due to the lack of consensus on how a tax cut will perform in a given …
