you need to prepare a FINAL ASSIGNMENT (PAPER SUBMISSION) based on the following:
Task
The final assignment will consist of an essay that you are required to submit – based on class discussions and on reading(s) provided on a topical issue

the subject. You can choose any of the two questions below.
• The assessment is individually graded
• The assessment is a written assignment
• All standard academic protocols and qualitative measures must be followed (academic structure/fully referenced)
• The student must build a coherent discussion or argument in an essay format, analyzing theories and models. Case studies may be referred to when providing
examples.

• Students must write in complete sentences and develop paragraphs. No bullet points are allowed
Questions
Q1: Concepts such as “Universal Basic Income (UBI)” have become popular in economic debates globally – where a certain monetary sum is guaranteed to all
individuals, whether employed or not. It rests on the platform that if certain minimum amount is guaranteed to every individual that allows them a minimum
standard of living (hence, not fight for survival), it will incentivize most to be more productive. The idea has been heralded as an answer to most of our economic,
political, and social issues. Argue.
Or
Q2: Concepts such as “Stakeholder Capitalism” (as opposed to Shareholder Capitalism) is gaining traction once again. This is particularly in regard to the effects of
the financial crises, rising unemployment, automation, and future of jobs, as well as for the distribution of welfare to all. While such attempts hold value, there
are several pitfalls, as re-defining capitalism could have strong impacts on businesses. Should businesses be responsible to all its stakeholders (over its
shareholders)? Argue.
