19 New Ideas  Capitalist Ideas  Laissez-faire - businesses operating without government interference.

23 Malthus & Ricardo  Both opposed government aid to the poor.  Malthus referred to Economics as the Dismal Science

24 Malthus & Ricardo  They believed that the poor could help themselves by working hard, saving, and having fewer children.

25 Socialism  The belief that the means of production, capital, land, raw materials, and factories would be owned by society.

26 Socialism  Every citizen takes care of each other  The individual exists only as part of the group  This is the basis of Communism
