The Basics for the Two Essays
\n1. Each essay should be five pages (a paragraph more or less is fine, but the standard is
\n5).
\n2. Double spaced, 12-point font
\n3. Standard margins\u2014Approximately 1.25 on left and right margins and 1 on top and
\nbottom
\n4. For each day the paper is late, you will be docked three percentage points in you
\npaper grade (e.g. from an 87% to 84%)
\n5. In crafting your paper, you will want to construct a clear thesis and draw on evidence
\nfrom course readings, lectures, audio and video clips, etc. The more specific
\nevidence from the class resources you can muster in support of your argument,
\nthe better your grade. A well-argued essay, with no evidence to back up your
\nanswer to the question, will earn you a \u201cC\u201d at best. A bundle of evidence
\nwithout a clear answer to the question will put you in much the same
\npredicament.
\n6. For these essays, refer only to sources that are listed on the syllabus or presented in
\nlecture\u2014no outside sources.

\nAge\u201d of capitalism.\u201d (CP 65). Paul Krugman adds that the US in the years after WWII \u201cwas a
\nmiddle-class society to a far greater extent than it had been in the 1920s\u2014or than it is today.\u201d
