Prompt 2. Ideologies are formulated to organize not just political and social life, but also economic
systems. Liberalism and Marxism each advanced ideas about how the economy should be organized in
an ideal society, what types of economic freedoms people should have, and what the roles of different
individuals or classes might be. Compare and contrast the liberal and Marxist positions, then choose one
of the two and discuss the potential flaws or downsides in its economic vision. Formulate an argument
and support it using examples, from readings and lecture, of authors’ arguments and real-world cases.
