Marxist and Capitalist Scenarios1. Jeff Potter goes around the

neighborhood and re-paints the address # on the curb in front of every house. He says he wants everyone to have a nicely painted address # on the curb. Once he is done, he goes door-to-door to collect a fee/donation from every house. Payments to Jeff are optional. However, he predicts he will collect twice as much as his paint supplies have cost him.

Go to Q&A All scenarios at once

Marxist and Capitalist Scenarios2. Two factory workers help produce

T-shirts over the course of their work day. Work began at 7am and finishes at 7 pm. Danny Soto produces 72 T-shirts by the end of the day. Dan Fox produces 39 T-shirts by day’s end. Both workers are paid the same amount for their daily work.

Scenarios (continued)3. Wendy Kinoshita is a retired

millionaire. She likes to help those that are poor by working at a homeless shelter. Wendy says, “It really makes me sad when I see a homeless person out on the streets. I think all people should be given a basic living area.”

Scenarios (continued)4. Danielle Roupoli sells cars for a

living. She receives a flat salary for her work. A flat salary is a set amount of income for her performed work. Basically, she is paid the same despite the # of cars she sells. All profits goes to the government. The government will then send her a check once a month for her work.

Scenario (continued)5. Brian Dunn also sells cars for a

living. His pay is based on commission. Commission pay depends on the amount of sales you make for a product. The more you sell equals the more you make. The government plays no major role in the selling of cars.

Scenario (continued)6. Pat DiBernardo has inherited a huge

amount of land. Pat was already wealthy so he decides to divide up the land and build the exact same house on every lot. Next, he decides to sell each house at a low price. He claims

he wants to help out the “greater society” by providing affordable

housing for all poor families.

Scenarios (continued)7. Megan McLean and Jody Heisler are in charge

of their own plot of land. They both grow wheat on their land. Unfortunately, Jody’s fields were flooded during a terrible storm and she lost most of her crops. On the other hand, Megan’s field produced a great harvest of wheat. Despite the various farming situations, both Jody and Megan do as they always do each year. They listen to commands from “higher sources” and combine whatever crop they harvest and divide the wheat equally among the all villagers.
