E2 INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES IN FREE MARKETS: 12.E3b The government’s evolving role in protecting property rights, regulating working
conditions, protecting the right to bargain collectively, and reducing discrimination in the
workplace has attempted to balance the power between workers and employers. This role
shifts in response to government’s need to stimulate the economy balanced against the need to
curb abusive business practices.
12.E3c The freedom of the United States economy encourages entrepreneurialism. This is an
important factor behind economic growth that can lead to intended consequences (e.g., growth,
competition, innovation, improved standard of living, productivity, specialization, trade,
outsourcing, class mobility, positive externalities) and unintended consequences (e.g.,
recession, depression, trade, unemployment, outsourcing, generational poverty, income
inequality, the challenges of class mobility, negative externalities.).
12.E3d A degree of regulation, oversight, or government control is necessary in some markets
to ensure free and fair competition and to limit unintended consequences of American
capitalism. Government attempts to protect the worker, ensure property rights, and to regulate
the marketplace, as well as to promote income equality and social mobility, have had varied
results.
Plan of the Day:
1. Collect "Substitution" reports.
a) arrange yourselves in groups based upon common topics and share your investigations with each other.
b) What causes substitutions to be accepted, or not accepted?
3. Regarding the reading from the Harvard Crimson:
My father ran from a government that beat, tortured, and brainwashed its citizens. His childhood friend disappeared after scrawling an insult about the dictator on the school bathroom wall. His neighbors starved to death from food rations designed to combat “obesity.” As the population dwindled, women were sent to the hospital every month to make sure they were getting pregnant
Communism cannot be separated from oppression; in fact, it depends upon it. In the communist society, the collective is supreme. Personal autonomy is nonexistent. Human beings are simply cogs in a machine tasked with producing utopia; they have no value of their own.
Quotes by Laura Nicolae - "100 Years. 100 Million Lives. Think Twice"
a) What is the main admonition the author has for people today, especially young people?
b) How do YOU propose we balance the scales between state regulation and voluntary cooperation?
c) What is your current perception of the United States Constitution? What is its purpose? What is its intent?
d) What is your perception, currently, of the United States Constitution in regard to its being a fulcrum between the wishes of the state and the wishes of the people (the free market)?

1. Retrieve your Economic Values work packet and take 15 minutes in your table group to finish the page entitled "Service" at the top.
Consider: When we advocate for and achieve state involvement in an issue, what are we really allowing? What is the difference between voluntary cooperation and coercion? Why do Liberty and voluntary cooperation require a fixed set of rules to be successful?
