Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular problem, you are being asked to choose a perspective and explain why you think its best. This solution shows you how. Since you have not provided the economic perspectives discussed in your class, I have made some assumptions. If you need clarification just let me know via the feedback section and I'll try to explain things further. Good luck.

Economic Perspectives
When we talk of economic perspectives, we are referring to economic theories as ways of looking, understanding and viewing the economic system. There are host of economic perspectives/schools/theories that can be used. We now live in a global economy. The US, being the world's most powerful economy has a direct economic effect to global development. As proof of this, the subprime mortgage crash of 2007 has directly affected economies worldwide and has also led to the breakdown of economies with direct or referential involvement via their financial facilities into the American market. In Europe they include Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Portugal. In the case of Greece, without German, French and IMF bail-outs, the country would be in default. As such it is still struggling to recover with high unemployment and a stagnant market. The US on the other hand had been struggling of late. It seems the recession pangs are still there with high unemployment as well as difficulties in job creation. The current administration had been struggling with the issue as S&P had of late demoted the country's rating from A+ to A-. While politics might have caused it, the real economic truth is that the US market is struggling to recover to pre-recession levels of employment and cash flow. Economics is all about supply and demand and economic perspectives seek to answer the following questions (FRBS, 2011):
â?¢ How do we decide what to produce with our limited resources?
â?¢ How do we ensure stable prices and full employment of our resources?
â?¢ How do we provide a rising standard of living both for ourselves and for future generations?
