The Story the Ultimate Landlord
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” reads Reagan from the holy scriptures. Not many are familiar with the story of Raoul Wallenberg, but those who are, know what an amazing man he was. President Ronald Reagan’s public files state the “Heedless of danger, he pulled people out of death marches boarded deportation trains,” (statement).
Wallenberg’s spy career began unlike any other, from a simple elevator conversation.

The public was very suspicicious, why they had waited ten years to release news of this importance? Many people believed that he was gone for good, but there had been many sightings of him after he was depicted to be dead. Most of the sightings were at Vladimir prison, a holding place for German prisoners of war, 120 miles northeast of Moscow, Russia (Fenyvesi). In 2000, “The absolute Truth” was the heading on the front page of newspapers all over the world. Aleksandr Yakolev, director of a government commission exonerating Stalin-era victims, says that the KGB “murdered Wallenberg in Lubyanka prison”, July 1947. Yet, Wallenberg’s longtime friend, per anger, Swedish ambassador, claims he has seen Wallenberg as late as 1989, so have other (Febyvesi) We cannot be sure of where Wallenberg was, but we know what he did for the Jews and America. “The world owes him a tremendous debt” says Regan in a reflection for Wallenberg, in 1987, after forty years of Wallenberg mysterious disappearance (statement).

    The passage from Testaments Betrayed by Czech writer Milan Kundera discusses the basic idea of the preservation of privacy and the criminality of the failure to do so. The passage considers the situation that occurred between two important Russian figures around the early 1970's. Through complete examination of the circumstance and Kundera's stance, the sheer irony of the chain of events is clearly manifested and public and private are proved indeed to be two distinct realms of existence.…

    In the readings assigned, I learned all about rent seeking and what exactly it is. The idea of rent seeking was discovered by Gordon Tullock in 1967 and in 1974 the expression “rent” was invented by Anne Krueger. Rent seeking is when an entity tries to get some type of income by making full use of a certain resource, of some sort, without giving anything back to society or the resource they got the income from. When speaking in these terms, the word “rent” does not have its usual meaning of paying rent to a landlord. The word, rent, was produced from Adam Smith’s concept of dividing different parts of revenue into profit, wage, and rent. The point of rent seeking, overall, is to get financial gains in the economics industry mostly by manipulation…
