Paper instructions:
Choose from two prompts:
Answer one of the following questions:

Question one: Using materials from the class,

discuss:
a) Discuss how writers disagreed about the effects

of capitalism on society and their own ideas about

human beings, society and the ideal social and

economic situation. Use authors and their writings from

your textbook and include Karl Marx, Adam Smith,

and at least one other writer (e.g. Andrew Carnegie,

Thorsten Veblen). Consider the sharp differences

among writers, and their perspective about social

justice and the effect of capitalism on society.

b)-Aime Cesaire was born in the French colony of

Martinique and had been educated in France in the

liberal ideas of the Enlightenment. Yet as you have read

in Discourse on Colonialism, published in 1955, he was

scathingly critical of Europe and Europeans. Using your

knowledge of history, explain the historical context for

Cesaire’s essay. (Include liberalism, imperialism,

Europe and colonialism to explain.)
