Kristof in this article proposes the idea that even with a decrease in economy there may be a brighter side. He backs his proposal with are very clear claim, and good warrants. He shows that even through a recesion there can be positive physical qualities, with a decrease in death rate, and other positive qualities that come from turmoil. He states that people are easily distracted by the negatives of a situation, from the positives.
Claim:
With economic tourmoil comes more negative effects than positive.
Warrent:
People are stressed, and have no confedence in a time of crisis.
All positive outlooks become sucked out because people are physically, and mentally stressed.
Backing:
Rich people stay getting more money, and poor people see more and more of poverty. Prices increase drastically, and effect the poor, which effects home incentives. Property value decreases, because of forecluser.
Data:
It is a domino effect. It effects the banks, which effect the peoples' pockets. Then at the same time it effects prices because the lack of goods. Then from this comes broke people also because of necessities. And then it is a spiral effect that hurts everyone.
I don't see the author's argument. How are there positives to this drop in economy. My thoughts are totally different. I don't understand how our economic failure can help the people because the people make up the economy. If the economy decreases so will the people.
