Democracy and Equality: American Economy, the American Dream in the Land of Unlimited Opportunities As we may all know, the fantasy of the rags-to-riches myth is stemming from the vast and unthaw opportunities of the United States of America. Even sooner the Declaration of Independence huge amount of people were menses to the harbours of Western European cities, to enter a new dry land of golden oppportunities and chances by sailing to the New World. What was the cause of this? And what is the stead nowadays? Is this myth still in effect? match to the travelogue of the Hungarian traveller called Ãgoston Haraszty, the first question is unfeignedly easy to answer, and more or less we may be able to agree with his points. He observed the Americans as a nation, which does not know the concept of insolvability. There are no lazy people, everyone does his or her own beneficial activity. One major(ip) point of Harasztys essay can be, that you cannot watch any nobles there. (Course Packet, 59) In Hungary, the concept of the gentry evolved to a higher level, signalling not clean the noble rank of a person, but his laziness, slothfulness and laxity, so in this aspect Haraszty was right.
He describes the positive features of the observable free market, where you can easily start your own business, and you can find no limitations, which would hold you back. (Course Packet 60) He also says that no monopoly of nobles can be seen, because of the lack of anachronistic laws. Ironically, this vision of Haraszty was in all false, as this vast freedom, was the condition under which the giant monopolies could evolve. In my opinion this is where the rags-to-riches myth collapses to pieces. The Americans cling to their rights to freely move up and down the income runnel. Also, some people suggest that mobility along the income ladder is serving as an antidote to inequality (commondreams.org) I moot this is a totally mistaken idea. Creating such freedom incisively widens the gap... If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website:
