Policymakers are discussing various proposals regarding how to deal with natural monopolies. senator huff wants to regulate natural monopolies by equating price with average total cost. huff contends that such a policy will ensure that monopolies make every effort to reduce costs. senator puff wants the government to own natural monopolies. puff argues that government-owned monopolies usually do a better job of holding down costs than privately owned monopolies. which senator's argument is correct?
a. senator huff
b. senator puff
c. both senators
d. neither senator

the correct answer is d. neither senator

Explanation:

The idea of equating price with average total cost doesn't take into account the profits and I don't think companies would accept that.

The other idea is a fallacy because government-owned monopolies are often

inefficient.

answer; (cognitive   dissonance);

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.
