CHAPTER 2
THE ECONOMY: MYTH AND REALITY
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Which is the biggest national economy on earth? Why has it remained bigger than
other countries with much larger labor forces or those with higher per capita
incomes?
The United States is the country with the largest economy in the world. The relatively
large population in the U.S. is a contributing factor but productivity of workers and
accumulated wealth are significant reasons why the U.S. economy is so large.
2. What is meant by a “factor of production”? Have you ever sold any on a market?
A factor of production, or input, is something that is used to produce a finished good
known as “output.” There are several possible answers, but probably most students have
been employed in some capacity (babysitter, paperboy, or a campus job), so they have
sold their labor in the market to produce output.
3. Why do you think per capita income in Connecticut is nearly double that in New
Mexico?
There are several possible answers to this question—the question is designed to get
students to think about these differences before using models. One straightforward
answer is that the factors of production in Connecticut produce output that is worth more
than what is produced in New Mexico. This could be because labor is more productive in
Connecticut because of a better educated workforce. Another answer is that the cost of
living is higher in Connecticut than it is in New Mexico.
4. Roughly speaking, what fraction of U.S. labor works in factories? In service
businesses? In government?
Roughly 14 percent produce goods, 70 percent are service workers, and approximately 16
percent work in federal, state, and local government.
5. Most American businesses are small, but most of the output is produced by large
businesses. That sounds paradoxical. How can it be true?
While there are many small businesses in the U.S. economy, the value of what they
produce is relatively small. For example, a local grocer cannot produce the same amount
as a large national grocery store. It would take several small grocers to match the
production of a large store. So, while a large retailer like Wal-Mart is considered to be
one business, its production exceeds that of a smaller business.
6. What is the role of government in a mixed economy?
The government is a referee—it enforces laws and establishes order. The government is a
business regulator—it imposes restrictions on businesses on society’s behalf. The
government provides security through national defense. The government levies taxes to
finance its spending. Finally, the government redistributes income from high income
households to lower-income ones.

LEPIDOPTERA.
NYMPHALIDAE.
Danainae: Limnas chrysippus (Linn.) ♀. The ground
colour of the pale tint characteristic of
1
Oriental specimens and usually replaced by
a much darker shade in African.
Danainae: L. chrysippus (Linn.) var. alcippus (Cram.) ♂♂.
2
Typical.
Nymphalinae: 1 Neptis agatha (Cram.).
1 Precis cebrene (Trim.).
PAPILIONIDAE.
Pierinae: 1 Catopsilia florella (Fabr.) ♂.
2 Colias electra (Linn.) ♂ ♀.
Terias brigitta (Cram.) ♂ ♂ ♀.
3
Dry season forms; not extreme.
3 Eronia leda (Boisd.) ♂ ♀ ♀.
One of these females has an orange apical
patch on the forewing, almost as distinct as
that of the male.
1 Pinacopteryx sp. ?
A female, rather worn; simulating Mylothris
agathina ♀.
Probably a new species, but being in poor
condition and a single specimen it would not
be advisable to describe it.
1 Belenois severina (Cram.) ♀. Dry season form.
1 Phrissura sp. ♂.
A male, of the P. sylvia group. This form of
Phrissura has not previously been recorded
from any part of East Africa.
Papilioninae: 8 Papilio demodocus (Esp.).
HYMENOPTERA.
1 Dorylus fimbriatus (Shuck.) ♂.
COLEOPTERA.

1 Pachnoda stehelini (Schaum).
Both Abyssinian species.
PHYTOPHAGA.
Cassididae: 1 Aspidomorpha punctata (Fab.).
HETEROMERA.
Cantharidae: 2 Mylabris, probably a new species.
NEUROPTERA.
1 Nemoptera, probably a new species.
ORTHOPTERA.
Acridiidae: 1 Cyrtacanthacris

1 Phymateus brunneri? (Bolivar).
1 Phymateus leprosus (Fab.).
1 Petasia anchoreta (Bolivar).
Mantidae: 1 Sphodromantis bioculata (Burm.).
1 Chiropus aestuans? (Sauss.).
In addition to the above, Dr. Hayes presented three insects
captured by him at Gedaref in the Soudan, including a pair of a
magnificent new species of Buprestid beetle of the genus
Sternocera, taken in coitu. This species has recently been described,
from Dr. Hayes’ specimen and two others in the British Museum, by
Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, who has given it the name Sternocera druryi
(“Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.” Oct., 1904, p. 247). The third insect is an
example of a Cantharid beetle, which does great damage to the
crops at Gadarif. Its determination as Mylabris hybrida (Bohem.) is
therefore a matter of some importance.
