What do scientists think is happening to the numbers of polar bears?
It is difficult to get an accurate count of polar bears. Estimates in the 1950s and 1960s came from hunters and Inuit reports, which were very local. The invention of the snowmobile and modern icebreakers meant that by the 1970s hunting of polar bears had reduced the population to about 10,000. In 1973 hunting of polar bears was banned world-wide, except for native peoples, who had quotas set. This led to an increase in numbers. Scientists estimate the present population to be about 22,000 worldwide, of which 60% are in Canada. There are nineteen Polar Bear groups around the Arctic Circle. At the 2005 IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Polar Bear Specialist group meeting, scientists reported that 5 of these groups of bears were declining in numbers, 5 groups were stable, 2 groups were increasing in numbers and 7 groups didn't have enough data to know. The Report from the IUCN 2009 meeting found that 8 groups were declining in numbers, 3 groups were stable, 1 group was increasing in numbers and again, 7 groups didn't show enough data.
Does tariffs contribute to infant industry protection?
Infant industry protection can come in the form of Tariffs, Quotas, Non-Tariff-Barriers or any inhibition of free trade in order to protect a *particular* industry (rather than the whole economy) as that particular industry or firm achieves dynamic increasing returns (costs fall with cumulative production rather than with the current rate of production- in other words, costs fall as the firm gains experience). The argument of using tariffs to protect an infant industry are only valid when 1) the protection is for a firm or industry rather than the whole economy, 2) the industry is a potential source for comparative advantage and 3) the protection (usually a tariff) is temporary and ends when the firm becomes internationally competitive (this is especially difficult due to issues with political economy)
What advantages might a socialist system have in responding to the needs of the poor?
The socialist system is based on the notion of equality for everyone, everyone has a job and everyone has a place to live. Everyone has to forfeit their class rights in a socialist system. A socialist system has universal health care and dental care, childcare, as well as similar access to resources such as food and water. Ideally, the socialist system could cater to the needs of the poor because it provides equal access to all folks, regardless of income. Although advantageous to the poor, the socialist system can mean heavy taxation on all citizens. There could be corruption as well as unequal access to resources which means that the people who tow the party line usually have more access to better goods. The socialist system means highly unusual labor quotas, food ration cards, long lines at the store, or below superior quality goods available.
