In considering the attitudes of consumers toward fairness, which of the following have economists found to be true? a. people attempt to treat others fairly, even if doing so makes them worse off financially. b. people usually ignore fairness when making spending decisions. c. people are interested only in making themselves as well off as possible. d. people attempt to treat others fairly, but only if doing so makes them better off financially.

The correct answer is A: "People attempt to treat others fairly, even if doing so makes them worse off financially."

Explanation:

In general, people like to treat others fairly, maybe because they want to be treated the same way, even if doing so affects them financially. One example could be tipping waiters or not haggling.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.  

sounds good to me mate!
