Read the excerpt from levitt and dubner's freakonomics.
there is a tale, “the ring of gyges," that feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. it comes from plato's
republic. a student named glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by socrates-who, like adam smith,
argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. glaucon, like feldman's economist friends, disagreed.
he told of a shepherd named gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. when
gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. with no one able to monitor his behavior, gyges proceeded to
do woeful things-seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. glaucon's story posed a moral question: could any
man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? glaucon seemed to think the answer was
no. but paul feldman sides with socrates and adam smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is
yes.
the example in the excerpt the authors arrive at which of the following conclusions?
the majority of people are corrupt.
the majority of people are honest.
glaucon and paul feldman were wrong.
socrates and adam smith were wrong.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
