Question by ][-][ . ][. ][v][.: Need some help phrasing a thesis statement – dealing with economic advancement…?
I am writing a comparative essay on economic advancement (and how one can achieve economic advancement). The full question is this:

Question: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5457322085/

Its for an essay (compare and contrast essay), and we have to use the protestant ethic as a direct source to answer the question. I know it will deal with the first half of the question (the effort part), and I am using East Asia as my prime example for the second half (state policies). I just need some help figuring out how to form a thesis for this since it is not an argumentative paper, but rather a comparative one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Thanks

E. LYNN TURGEON was a unique and iconoclastic figure in the field of economics. An important, if somewhat conventional, figure in the study of the Soviet economy in the 1950s, his views on the USSR evolved over time to become more and more distinctive and provocative. In retrospect, many of his arguments and forecasts have proven to be wrong, especially about the former Soviet Union and the economies of the former Soviet bloc. (1) At the same time, some of his most controversial and apparently shocking positions can now be seen as prophetic in the context of the extreme difficulties that many of the countries of the former Soviet bloc have experienced during their transition. Although Turgeon pinpointed difficulties in the Soviet system and foresaw its slowdown, he was also willing to point out certain positive aspects of the old system that few outside Soviet circles were willing to admit, He was not afraid to face what seemed to him to be the facts and to follow where those facts would lead him. This he did in the face of disapproval and sharp disagreement from his peers in the West.

Later in life, his writing reflected more his classical Keynesian roots. He argued against such pre-Keynesian policies as central bank autonomy, tight money, fiscal austerity, and social retrenchment. Instead, he supported bold Keynesian fiscal policy, for example, significant expansion of government spending on social programs, and the neutralization of monetary policy. While acknowledging the stimulating benefits of supply-side cuts (coined as “commercial Keynesianism” by Robert Lekachmen) and massive defense spending (military Keynesianism) in Germany and Japan in the 1930s, Turgeon considered these policy arrangements to be among the most socially regressive types of Keynesian policies. He adopted Joan Robinson’s term “Bastard Keynesianism” to describe these supply-side cutting and military spending agendas. Instead, Turgeon preferred to think of himself as a “classical Keynesian,” wedded to the fundamental truths of The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money (Keynes 1964). He believed that the u ltimate goal of economic policy was not growth for growth’s sake, but full employment of human resources, environmentally sustainable economic development, more equitable distributions of income and wealth, and rising living standards for all (Turgeon 1996:73). Before going into greater depth on Turgeon’s contributions to Sovietology and economics, it is important first to understand some of the earlier personal and professional influences on his career.
