What is the attitude of neo classical US economists on inter-pollination between other paradigms such as Marxism and how does it compare to the rest of the world in the 1990s
US economists are very protective of their paradigm they do not tolerate even the jargon used by the other paradigm never mind the presence of courses or faculty members of the persuasion in their departments in the good economic departments in the United States therefore the greatest abate of all time that is between the two paradigms in economics does not go on. even Latin American and even Chinese universities are more tolerant of Neoclassical paradigms then are the US universities tolerant of Marxist paradigms
From 1935 to 1986 what has been the change in US forms as pertains to prevalemce, profit and size
Only 284,000 full-time farms are left operating in United States as a whole compared to 6 million in 1935 and 17% of them are at risk of going out of business; about half of the nations net farm income then goes to corporate super farms with gross sales over 500,000 while family farms with gross sales on the 40,000 are no longer making any net income from farming
What do neoclassical economists Research was the cause of the decline in US agriculture or farming
They postulated that it is really economic growth that causes the problem because growth itself results in an inelastic demand for farm products since people tend to spend smaller portions of their incomes on necessities like food as incomes rise. When this is coupled with a technological change that increases the supply of food there is an over supply of farm products prices and those farm incomes fall and some producers have to leave agriculture get off farm work or explore the exportation industry in the expanded world market
