Discussion Forum Response

Discussion Forum Response Order Description Module 2 Discussion Discussion objective: to probe the importance and consequences of economic strength as a source of national strength, and propose the role the US government should take in promoting national economic strength. The Davies chapters you have read for this module compare several countries and their paths during the Industrial Revolution, and present several models of government involvement in the financing and promotion of various sectors of the economy (railways, corporate structures, farming, heavy industry, exporting, etc). As you compare these different models and their successes or failures, discuss what role you think the US government should take in the support and promotion of the economy. You may also want to bring in examples from the Chapman book to support your viewpoint. Please use these two books as two of you references Davis chapters 4-5-6 and Chapman chapters 6-8
