Abstract
This thesis explores many topics surrounding the financial, economic, and social implications of key issues identified in various case studies. Topics explored include financial fraud presented in The China Hustle, a reflection on the United States’ military industrial complex and their role in the Ukrainian war, the increasing prevalence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs, the ideology of Dr. Ben Carson and Dr. Thomas Sowell, and a start-up business plan for a brewery.
Each chapter in this thesis analyzes one of these complex topics. This thesis is a critical reflection of how economic implications, government strategies, and social beliefs interact with each other. It encourages one to engage in deeper thought on both practical and ethical considerations that arise in social and financial environments. Through research, applied analysis, and self-reflection, the work of this thesis emphasizes the importance of critical thinking.
The compilation of these case studies offers a complex perspective to the convergence of policy, finance, and entrepreneurship. Overall, this thesis reflects a dedication to thoughtful engagement and reinforces the importance of remaining informed in both academic and professional environments.
