Now imagine that instead of living in the United States, you were born in the Soviet Union or Communist China. Compare and contrast your likely future and how you deal with the following daily tasks in all three societies.
1.Finding a place to live, i.e. renting an apartment, buying a house, living with your parents, etc. 2.Choosing an occupation and finding employment and success in your chosen population. 3.Achieving a higher standard of living than your parents. 4.Becoming a member of the economic and/or political elite, i.e. becoming affluent or extraordinarily wealth and achieving a place in the ruling class where you can exercise real political power. ?
In your essay, quote specific examples from The Russians, The Party, Basic Economics, Capitalism and Freedom and your own daily existence, i.e. cite specific economic features of each society and how they relate to each area. Your grade will largely be determined by the detail and applicability of the examples you choose.
