Is capitalism sustainable? Does business need to change the way it is presently conducted to be sustainable and competitive in the future? The above questions are your research topics for this week’s assignment. These are questions that many academics, economists, and policymakers in the United States ask themselves based upon the facts. This week you are asked to fact find (data) and consider how changes in the utilization of resources used by businesses are going to be factored going forward in the coming years. For example, how will humans and businesses deal with the end or near the end of specific resources (i.e. oil, iron, seafood, etcetera)? Keep in mind, as you learned in economics, that all resources are limited. Thus, based on current consumption rates they will run out. Also, within this equation, one must consider the environment and the questions of social responsibility to those who do not have access to such resources but are affected by the current capitalist society. In addition, clean water and air are a necessity for all forms of life. How does one protect these precious resources and continue to strive toward meeting profit objectives each fiscal quarter? Is capitalism as we know it at the end of its life cycle? While this is not an easy assignment or one where there are correct answers, there are answers and they should/must be based on good data and logic. In this assignment, you are asked to conduct your research and report the data while making an argument as it pertains to the original question. Is capitalism sustainable?
