The year is 2050 and humans have begun to occupy Mars. You are part of a panel of experts who will advise the pioneers on what economic principles this new society should be founded on in order to achieve the three goals you are tasked with, which include: 1. Access to diverse goods and services in the marketplace 2. Wealth and economic opportunity are spread among the greatest amount of people as possible 3. Innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit are all fostered In approximately 1-2 pages and drawing upon lessons learned in this class and When We Are Free, prepare a speech to the panel describing your recommendations for how best to achieve these goals. (Note: I am not seeking your personal opinion; rather, this should be a reflection of the values we’ve learned in this class). Some topics to consider: overarching economic system (socialism, communism, capitalism, etc.) tax policies, regulatory burdens, system of government, etc.) You are not required to cover each of these topics. Rather, your goal is to make a persuasive argument that shows your understanding of course material. Supporting your decision with evidence from your readings is worth 15 points of your grade. Your paper needs to be professionally written, free of grammar and spelling errors, and your original work. Any references should be included in the same way you would in a real speech (I.e. “in the words of Davy Crockett”). A references cited page is not necessary. 12 point font double spaced is preferred.
