If you were asked to solve the problem, what would you propose?
Social security for retirees is paid through payroll taxes on the current workforce. However, because retirees are living longer and increasing in number, the inflow of payroll tax revenue from workers at some point will be insufficient to fund the outflow of social security payments. One solution to the problem would be to increase taxes on workers. Another solution would be to reduce retiree benefits and require workers to wait longer before they become eligible for social security benefits (the earliest eligibility is currently 62 years of age). If you were asked to solve the problem, what would you propose?

How does this challenge Classical Liberalism?
essay should be approximately equivalent to 5 pages for each question, double spaced, 12 point type, Times New Roman Font . Some IPE theorists that Mercantilism is inevitable. Explain what is meant by this and illustrate with examples from class, the text and readings. How does this challenge Classical Liberalism? Does this imply that no efforts should be made to curtail or mitigate Mercantilist policies? In addressing this issue, be sure to distinguish between aggressive and benign Mercantilism. Are there points on which Interventionist Liberals and Mercantilists might agree? 2. In class I asserted that there is much in constructivist approaches to IPE that is both good and original, but unfortunately, much of what is original is not good and much of what is good is not particularly original. What did I mean? Critically evaluate my statement by explaining the following: What is IPE? What is constructivism? To what degree does constructivism branch out in new directions from the three major paradigms of IPE: Liberalism, Realism/Mercantilism, and Historical Structuralism? To what degree does it incorporate the insights of these perspectives? 3. Trace the evolution of Marxist critiques of capitalism and globalization from Marxs original formulation, Lenins theory of Imperialism, World Systems theory and Gramscis theory of ideological hegemony. To what degree are these ideas consistent or inconsistent with Realism? How they challenge Classical Liberalism? How do they challenge Interventionist Liberalism? Are there ways it could be consistent with Interventionist Liberalism?
