Government: stay out of the Economy
The current expansion of government intervention is going to undermine economic growth. Pro or con? Over the past nine months, government intervention in the economy has spread like a wildfire. From federally mandated executive compensation rules for companies and job roles that had nothing to do with the financial meltdown, to the ouster of General Motors (GM) CEO Rick Wagoner at the behest of the White House, to forcing banks to take and keep Troubled Asset Relief Program money, Washington’s tentacles are reaching into the minutiae of private business dealings like never before. Setting aside the long-term philosophical questions this raises about the role of government in society, one short-term question is whether or not it will aid recovery. I do not believe it will.
A 1998 Congressional Joint Economic Committee study concluded the optimal size of government to maximize economic growth was about 18% of gross domestic product (GDP). Even before today’s unprecedented debt and spending, all levels of government in the U.S. controlled 37% of GDP. Recent federal spending will drive up government’s share to more than 40%. A single federal health-care plan would gobble up another 16%, putting more than 50% of the economy in government’s hands.
Economists increasingly understand the Great Depression was prolonged by government intervention in trade, private industry, and banking. We have evidence from other countries, too. As Ireland’s tax burden and share of GDP fell, the Celtic Tiger roared. Recent National Bureau of Economic Research findings show that Jamaica’s pursuit of “social justice” policies has retarded its growth compared with its less interventionist sister island, Barbados. From 1960 to 2002, Barbados’ per capita GDP doubled, but Jamaica’s grew only 50%.
Government has an important and legitimate role to play in a growing economy. It should enforce contracts, create a level playing field for all businesses, and steadfastly promote the rule of law. U.S. entrepreneurs can take it from there.

De acordo com a nova política de bagagem despachada entre os EUA e a China, um passageiro da classe econômica não pagará excesso de bagagem nos casos em que
- a soma das dimensões altura + largura + comprimento de cada peça não exceda 158 cm;
- o peso total da bagagem seja inferior ou igual a 23 kg (50 lb.).
Internet: <www.br.fly-airchina.com> (com adaptações).
Considere que, sob a política de taxação por excesso de bagagem descrita no texto acima, o excesso de peso na empresa aérea K seja cobrado como ágio no valor de R$ 50,00, acrescido de R$ 10,00 por kg de peso excedente. A partir dessas informações, julgue o item subsequente.
Caso o critério fosse cobrar ágio de R$ 20,00, acrescidos de R$ 5,00 pelo quadrado do kg excedente, uma fórmula para encontrar o desembolso d, em reais, efetuado por passageiro em função do peso p, em kg, de sua bagagem poderia ser a seguinte.
!$ d(p) = \begin{cases} 0, \mbox{ se } p \le 23 \\ 5p^2 -230p+2.665 \mbox{ se } p > 23 \end{cases} !$

(...) Enquanto a linguagem científica, ao mesmo tempo em que coibia qualquer afirmação inconsistente e subjetiva, moldava-se na forma de prosa a fim de poder refletir o real, o mundo da physis moderna consistia em um mundo essencialmente a-histórico, regular, ordenado e organizado por leis fixas, onde não havia espaço para a contradição ou considerações subjetivas. Assim, as formas de conhecimento que buscassem se submeter ao estatuto científico deveriam proceder a um exorcismo quanto a todas as noções equivocadas presentes em seus corpos. A astronomia deveria se divorciar da astrologia, como a química da alquimia e a medicina das noções místicas. Outros ramos do conhecimento, como a filosofia, o direito, as artes, a literatura, a teologia e o senso comum não gozavam do mesmo status da confiabilidade da ciência, pois a divisão do paradigma os havia situado no universo incerto da subjetividade.

A organização lógica que norteia a orientação argumentativa do texto opõe formas de conhecimento consideradas de prestígio a formas de conhecimento menos prestigiadas; enquanto o prestígio das primeiras baseia-se na objetividade do estatuto científico, o desprestígio das segundas fundamenta-se na valorização do universo incerto da subjetividade.
