Reaction to Krugman (“The Death of Horatio Alger”) and Gates (“Forty Acres and a Gap in Wealth”)
Order Description
In Krugman and Gates we have two very different essays and topics, or do we? For this journal suggest three ways these articles could work together to help argue a point. What connections in the critical thinking of each author can be seen to agree? How could you use these articles to advance a point made in one or the other, or a critical point that you think unites both but is not mentioned explicitly. Yes, I am pushing you toward “synthesizing” these authors and their arguments.Even simple connections can be powerful here!
