          The article I read today wasn’t as helpful as the other so far have been. The author was making a point on how history shows that Americans have been misused money and short-term greed and power over long-term prosperity.  He supported his idea by talking about how America is looking for a short-term fix to the economy over a long-term fix. It also talked a little how the Bank for International Settlements warned that years with loose regulations of free market, greed, and power would lead to another decline. Other than that I did not find the article too useful. It did give me a real world example of the Lehman Brothers but that is pretty much all they talked about. I really expected this article to contain a lot more useful information but it didn’t. I really would like to find an article about a person or a group’s greed and how that affects eceryone. The article I read yesterday included some of that information and I would like to find more. I think information like that will help me write my paper more than anything. Most of the articles I have read so far have been dealing with politics and everything and I would like to find on about a common person and their greed and the after affects of it. Although the Pete Rose article had that in it but it was more about how the decision affect himself and not the people around him. That has been my favorite article so far. I am really interested in sports and I know a lot about it so the Pete Rose story will be a big contributor to my paper.
