Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations in 1776. In this passage, he discusses the principle of self-interest in a capitalist system.

According to Smith, what is the primary economic motivation for most people?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To find a job that pays the most money.

Explanation:

Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to the society.

Answer:

1. Great Britain incurs a huge war debt from the French and Indian War.

The French and Indian war had cost the British a lot of money and they needed cash to settle their debt.

2. Stamp Act imposed the first direct tax on the colonists.

They passed the Stamp act to enable them recoup some cash to pay for their debt.

3. Colonial resentment increases

The Colonists began to feel resentment because they felt they were being unfairly taxed yet they were not making much.

4. Repeal of Stamp Act

The Stamp Act was repealed a year afterwards due to the widespread resentment against the Act.

5. British revenue increases

British revenue eventually increased as the British restricted the Colonists to trading only with the British.

6.  Colonists refused to buy British goods.

7. Boston Tea Party

The Colonist boarded a ship and burnt an entire shipment of tea sent b the British in defiance of an Act that they viewed as unjust.

The Pony Express

Chapter 1

At A Nation's Crisis

The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system

by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the

Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.

It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in

binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid

communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.

The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.

It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year

around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.

The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the

horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish

something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

The Bay of Pigs invasion began when the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) financed and trained a group of Cuban refugees to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro.

Fidel Castro had been a concern to U.S. officials as a new leader since he took power in Cuba with a revolution in January 1959. Castro’s attacks on U.S. companies and interests in Cuba, his fiery anti-American speeches, and Cuba’s movement toward a closer relationship with the Soviet Union led the U.S. leaders to presume that the Cuban leader was a threat to U.S. interests. In March 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the CIA to train and arm Cuban refugees for an attack on Cuba The new U.S President John F. Kennedy was given this program when he became president in 1961.
Even though military advisors felt that the attack on Cuba by a group of lightly armed exiles had little chance for success, Kennedy gave the approval. On April 17, 1961, around 1,200 exiles, armed with American weapons and using American ships, came to the shore at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. The hope was that the exile force would serve as an inspiration for Cuban citizens to rise-up and overthrow Castro’s government.
The plan immediately fell apart. The landing force met with unexpected counterattacks from Castro’s military, the tiny Cuban air force sank most of the exiles’ supply ships, the United States held back from providing necessary air support, and the expected uprising never happened. Over 100 of the attackers were killed, and more than 1,100 were captured.
The failure at the Bay of Pigs cost the United States greatly. Castro used the attack to deepen his power in Cuba and he requested additional Soviet military aid. Eventually that aid included missiles, and the construction of missile bases in Cuba sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Further, throughout much of Latin America, the United States was mocked for its use of armed force in trying to remove Castro, a man who was considered a hero to many for his stance against U.S. interference. Kennedy tried to redeem himself by publicly accepting blame for the attack and its subsequent failure, but the failed mission left the young president looking weak and indecisive.
