Answer 2
Answer:

The correct answers are: Adam Smith and invisble hand.

Adam Smith wrote one of the most famous books on economics and is still cited today as a means to understand the structure of the American economy. In his book, Wealth of Nations, Smith discusses how government intereference should be almost non existent in the economy. Rather, competition between businesses will result in the best possible outcome for consumers. Smith makes this claim based on the idea that businesses will act in their own best interest. By default, this best interest will result in the best deals for the consumer, as the business owner needs the consumers in order to suceed.

Which of these principles did socialist Robert Owen believe? that communities of economic equality could be establishedthat the free market should dictate economic decisions
that business owners should control the means of production
that political power should be reserved for the wealthy

Answers

The socialist Robert Owen believed that "communities of economic equality could be established," since this is the go-to mentality for many socialists--both past and present. 

The correct answer is A. That communities of economic equality could be established

Explanation:

Robert Owen is considered as one of the founders of utopian socialism, which was part of the first currents of socialism that supports cooperativeness to achieve socialism goals that are mainly social ownership and social management of the means of production (economic equality). Due to this, Robert Orwen supported the creation of experimental socialistic communities and believed those communities could achieve economic equality through cooperation which means all the members could share the work and enjoyment in equal parts and thus achieve economic equality. Thus, Owen believed economic equality could be established in communities.

Pride because Odysseus was so proud of himself and had a giant ego. In the story, ¨The Odyssey¨, while him and his crew are trying to get away from the Cyclops on the Island of Crete he keeps mocking the cyclops saying nobody defeated you! My name is Odysseus, and I am from Ithaca son of Laértes! His pride was too much and even though he got away from the Cyclops his crew kept telling him to leave the Cyclops alone.

So I would say pride!

The dictatorial Russian leader who took power after Lenin was .

Answers

Joseph Stalin  was a Soviet dictator, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union between 1922 and 1952 and president of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1953.

In 1912, Lenin intended to propose the election of Stalin to the Bolshevik Central Committee at the Party Conference in Prague, but gave up when he met the resistance of the party. However, immediately afterward, Stalin was added to the Central Committee for "cooptation"

On April 3, 1922, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Pan-Russian Communist Party, a post he later transformed into the most powerful in the country. At that time, this position was seen as a minor charge within the party structure, however this position associated with the leadership it had over the Organizational Office of the Central Committee of the Party (Orgburó), gave Stalin a strong enough power base as to allow him to install his allies in the key positions of the party.

The accumulation of power by Stalin took the dying Lenin by surprise, who, in his last writings (Testament of Lenin), made appeals for the XII Congress of the Bolshevik Party to remove the "abrupt" Stalin.
