Question

on which point would both authors, eggert and blanc, most likely agree? competition leads to higher wages for workers. rich people will not voluntarily give up their power. monopolies should not be allowed to limit competition. wealth is a reflection of superior skill and effort.

Explanation:

To determine the agreement point, we analyze each option:

• "Competition leads to higher wages for workers": Unlikely, as different economic views may disagree on this causal link.
• "Rich people will not voluntarily give up their power": Not a common shared stance without specific context on their works.
• "Monopolies should not be allowed to limit competition": Both likely agree as monopolies limiting competition is generally seen as harmful to fair markets (aligning with pro - competition economic/social views).
• "Wealth is a reflection of superior skill and effort": Disagreements exist (e.g., wealth from inheritance/monopoly power vs skill/effort), so not a likely agreement.

Answer:

C. Monopolies should not be allowed to limit competition.
